Q-Switched Nd YAG Laser
State-of-the-art lasers have revolutionized the treatment of unwanted tattoos. Most of these lesions can be treated with a Q-Switched Nd YAG laser or a Q-Switched Versapulse Alexandrite laser. The availability of multiple tattoo lasers greatly increases our success in the treatment of complex multi-colored tattoos.
Q-Switched Versapulse Alexandrite Laser, Dermabrasion, CO2 Laser Abrasion, or Surgical Excision.
The laser light is passed over the tattooed skin, microscopically shattering the pigment into tiny particles which are more easily processed and eliminated by the body. Most patients undergo a series of 10 minute treatments. A mild to moderate irritation of the overlying skin is to be expected for a few days to a week, depending on the depth and amount of pigment to be removed.
Most skin types except the very darkest skin. Patients with tans should wait until their tan fades before undergoing this treatment.
Reduction or removal of unsightly tattoos may greatly improve one's sense of confidence and self esteem.
The specific risks and the suitability of these procedures for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.
Irritation of the skin may last a week or so.
Most patients require an anesthetic cream to be applied 30 minutes before the procedure. Only a few patients will require an injection of lidocaine to alleviate all sensations of pain.
Avoid excessive sun exposure.
Wash the area with a mild soap and gently pat dry, then apply a soothing moisturizer to the skin. Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for one week after your treatment. Patients should consider the use of fading creams and sunscreen after the procedure. Additionally, strenuous exercise and alcohol intake should be avoided. Cover-up clothing is very helpful in the healing process.
