Laser Tattoo Removal in Las Vegas, Nevada (NV)
Laser tattoo removal is a quick in-office procedure with no downtime. The laser heats and breaks up the ink particles in your skin so they can be naturally removed by your white blood cells. Laser tattoo removal can be painful and usually requires many treatment sessions for best results.
How laser tattoo removal is performed
Your dermatologist will assess your tattoo for factors such as size, placement, and color to determine the best type of laser to use. Different lasers are used to treat different ink colors. Black ink is easiest to remove and purple, yellow, and green inks are more challenging.The hand-held laser is shined on your tattoo in very quick flashes to break up the ink particles without damaging nearby tissue. This can sometimes be more painful than the original tattoo process. After treatment your dermatologist will apply soothing salve and bandages.
Recovery and results
The treated area will immediately appear lighter and may feel irritated. After 24 hours you may develop small blisters or crusty skin as you heal. Most people need multiple treatment sessions to completely remove their tattoo depending on the size and type of ink. The exact number of sessions varies.About F. Victor Rueckl, MD
