Alpha Dermatology offers our patients the latest laser technology for tattoo removal, the PICOSURE® by Cynosure, and the IRIS PI - one of the most powerful Q-SWITCHED ND: YAG LASER available.
Cost - The cost of removing a tattoo with a laser depends on the size of the tattoo, age of the tattoo, and the number of colors that need to be targeted by the laser. We understand that there are different reasons someone wants to erase a tattoo, and that removing a tattoo can bring a great deal of relief and closure. Alpha Dermatology is committed to making tattoo removal affordable to our patients. Click for examples of the fees for removing different types of tattoos.
Effectiveness - While it is not possible to completely erase a tattoo and recover your skin’s original pigmentation, most tattoos can be faded with excellent results.
Number of treatments - Fading of the tattoo occurs after one treatment. Optimum clearing of a tattoo takes 6-8 visits, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
Discomfort - The process of eliminating tattoo ink (pigment) involves selectively targeting the cells in the skin where the pigment is placed in the dermis. When the laser hits the tattoo, the pigment is absorbed by your immune system and eliminated from your body. Each laser treatment only takes several minutes, and we use multiple techniques to make the process as painless as possible.
