Read on for more information about the procedure.

How The Procedure Works

A tattoo is a collection of hundreds to thousands of ink pinpricks in the skin. The procedure works by using a precise, high-energy Cutera laser to break down these small ink deposits. The more a laser is directed at the ink, the more it breaks down into smaller particles that are then absorbed by the skin. This process effectively leaves no scar tissue behind.

Our Procedure

Before the procedure begins, the area that will be treated is cleansed, and the patient’s eyes are shielded if necessary. During the laser tattoo removal, our medical team  will first test the skin’s reaction to the laser with several directed pulses. We will then begin to treat the tattoo of your tattoo with the Cutera laser. Most patients report minimal discomfort.

Patients are instructed to apply a topical ointment to the treated area daily, and they should use sunscreen whenever outside. If more treatment is needed, our medical team will schedule a second session 4-8 weeks after the first to minimize irritation and maximize the laser’s effectiveness.
