Providing a Clean Slate for Your Skin
Old tattoos can keep painful memories alive, lead to awkward moments of explanation or attention, or otherwise disrupt the harmony in our day-to-day lives. Thankfully, permanent tattoos are less permanent than you might think.
At Skin Dynamics, our laser tattoo removal procedure uses focused light energy to scatter ink pigments beneath the skin. Once scattered, these pigments are processed and discarded through natural body processes. If an old tattoo harms your ability to be confident in your skin, it may be time to have it removed by Skin Dynamics.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
During your original tattoo appointment, ink was injected by a needle deep into the lower layer of your skin. The depth is what makes that ink “permanent.” To remove what might otherwise stay there forever, we use a focused laser beam to reach the deeper dermis layer and scatter those pigments.
In the span of one trillionth of a second, laser energy works quickly enough to scatter pigments while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. Once the pigments are broken into fragments, your body’s immune system discards them as it would any other waste product.
Thanks to the science behind the laser tattoo removal process, the procedure provides numerous benefits, including:

Laser Tattoo Removal FAQ
Anyone who has a tattoo they would like removed is a good candidate for laser tattoo removal. Candidates should be in good health before and after the procedure since it’s your immune system that helps to break down and remove the scattered ink. Those who have a compromised immune system may not see the best results.
Laser tattoo removal may cause discomfort during the process, but is said to be similar to receiving a tattoo.
The amount of time it takes to remove a tattoo depends on several factors such as the tattoo’s size, location, colors, your skin type, and your immune system. We recommend waiting a minimum of six weeks between sessions to avoid any damage or permanent side effects to the skin. Most patients will likely see results with between five and ten treatments, where others can require less.
The Laser Tattoo Removal Process
Treatment sessions vary depending on the size, location, and pigments used to create your tattoo. To get an idea of how many sessions you’ll need and how long each session will last, you’ll need to consider several aspects of your ink, including:
Patients often report a mild discomfort during the treatment process, but generally agree that it’s similar to getting a tattoo. Some slight redness or a hot sensation on the treated area should ease within 24 hours. You can return to your daily activities straight away.
