Laser Tattoo Removal
Safe yet powerful lasers shoot single wavelength beams of light that pass harmlessly through your layers of skin until they reach the ink in your tattoo. These beams of light break down larger ink particles into smaller ink particles, which can be now processed by your body's natural cleansing mechanisms and removed.
Plastic surgeons are no more qualified with lasers than we are. A plastic surgeon is not (at least we hope) going to cut off your skin and sell you new skin. So that being said, the best, safest, and most effective way to remove a tattoo is by using laser technology. The quality of the laser and wavelength certainly matters however. This is why with our extensive medical and tattoo background, Fusion only purchases the best FDA APPROVED lasers.... and yes, they are more expensive than a convertible Bentley! So to answer the question, Is it better to go to a plastic surgeon?, Only if their lasers are better than ours, which we doubt. Is it more expensive to go to a plastic surgeon? ........We can almost guarantee it, and they probably don't even serve coffee!
No – there is a proper combination of experience, equipment, and technique that is crucial to not only your safety but the effectiveness of your laser tattoo removal. Every removal is a sophisticated procedure, and all tattoos and people react differently to treatment. It is best performed by a professional. At Fusion not only do we have the best lasers in the business but the medical knowledge to safely and effectively remove tattoos.
Multiple treatments are necessary to fully remove your tattoo, and the number is dependent upon many things, including color but not necessarily size. Treatments are separated in time from a minimum of four weeks, depending on your tattoo.
Tattoos can be treated nearly anywhere, including but not limited to the hands, arms, legs, feet, back, chest, stomach, and neck.
Yes – tattoo artists will sometimes request that a tattoo be lightened before cover up work is done. This lightening of your old tattoo often allows for more choices in your cover up design and improves your new tattoo's result.
Most people go back to work or school on the same day as their treatment, or the next. Sometimes, patients who have large tattoos, multiple tattoos, or sleeves may choose to take a day off.
