Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser therapy offers an exciting opportunity for people with unwanted tattoos to restore their skin to a more natural color. Unlike traditional tattoo removal methods such as surgical incision, dermabrasion (abrasion with a rotating brush) and salabrasion (abrasion with salt), laser tattoo removal is relatively painless and minimizes damage to the surrounding skin. Laser tattoo removal at Hedden Plastic Surgery is a safe, effective way to eliminate tattoos with no significant risk of scarring.

During laser tattoo removal, the laser selectively targets the tattoo ink and breaks it up, allowing the ink to be naturally absorbed by the body. Multiple treatments are required — the exact number of sessions is determined by factors that include the size of the tattoo and the color(s) of the ink. Tattoos become progressively lighter after each treatment. Most tattoos can be permanently removed with the appropriate number of laser sessions.
