What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Many people receive tattoos to commemorate an event or a relationship or to represent something special to them. As life circumstances change, you may decide that your tattoo no longer represents you, or you simply wish to remove a piece of body art that you no longer enjoy. At A&A Med Spa, Dr. Norman Lamberty and his team perform safe tattoo removal with sophisticated laser technology, the Harmony XL PRO. This laser system utilizes precise wavelengths of light to cause the pigment beneath the skin to break apart, dispelling it and allowing it to be reabsorbed by the body. The Harmony XL PRO also uses a built-in cooling system to make the procedure comfortable and convenient. If you have a tattoo that you want to eliminate, get in touch with our facility in Montclair, CA and stop by for your initial consultation with one of our providers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The cost of tattoo removal could vary by the number of appointments necessary and by the complexity of removing a tattoo from certain body regions. Every individual's situation varies. For instance, several patients might need more sessions, while others may only need a few. We can determine the number of sessions required during your initial assessment.
Why do I need multiple laser tattoo removal sessions?
Size, pigment, location, and the age of the tattoo all factor in determining the number of sessions necessary to adequately remove the tattoo. Pigment, in particular, is important because if there are multiple colors, sometimes only certain portions of the tattoo can safely be removed at one time. With large or intricate tattoos, it may also be safer to remove the tattoo over several sessions to prevent heat damage. At your appointment, your treatment plan will be discussed, including the number of sessions required for you to achieve your desired results.
When will I see results?
Results following laser tattoo removal vary for each individual. Following a treatment session, the tattoo should be less visible. Because of the numerous forms of inks utilized in tattoos, the results, as well as the number of needed appointments, may vary. Generally, a number of appointments will be required. These are typically performed 2 – 4 weeks apart.
