As with all of our laser procedures, we only offer medical-grade FDA approved laser equipment. Our laser tattoo removal technology is safe for all skin types including darker skin tones. Since tattoos are meant to be permanent, it can take several sessions to remove the tattoo entirely. Factors such as age of tattoo, color, ink used, type, and size can all affect the number of treatments needed. Our skilled laser technicians can provide a better estimate during a pre-laser skin analysis.

In general, professional tattoos with darker colors such as green and blue are more difficult to remove while homemade black tattoos tend to be easier. Older tattoos are also easier to remove as they begin to fade over time. Inks with a carbon based tend to fade faster than non-carbon based.

Generally, laser treatments for tattoo removal are usually spaced four to six weeks apart. Depending on how the skin reacts to the laser, treatment sessions may be done closer together. A test spot can give our professionals a good idea how quickly the ink will respond. Sometimes the laser technician uses the R20 technique where two to four treatments can be done at the same time. With this technique the laser can break up more ink without having to wait for the next treatment.

Be Cautious When Considering Laser Services Through Online Discount Sites

In The News, Uncategorized beware of discount sites, cosmetic laser daily deals, cosmetic spas, effective cosmetic laser treatments, FDA approved lasers, laser hair removal packages, laser lights cosmetic laser center, laser skin resurfacing, licensed esthetician, medical grade lasers, optimal laser treatment, properly trained laser technician

You may have come across cosmetic laser service deals available through online discount sites. These sites often promote services such as laser hair removal packages and laser skin resurfacing at 50-80% off their original price. These deals may seem great at first; however, these cosmetic spas may not have the highest grade technology available or an adequately trained staff.

It’s not uncommon we will have unsatisfied patients come to Laser Lights after using a discounted cosmetic laser treatment package through a online discount site. Much of the time, the laser treatments these patients received from deal providers didn’t work or provide optimal results because the cosmetic spa didn’t use medical grade lasers. As laser treatments are medical in nature, it’s important to make sure the technician is properly certified and has experience performing the treatment you’re receiving. An improperly trained laser technician can result in treatment with the wrong laser, wrong settings, and in some cases, even burns or hyperpigmentation, scarring or hypopigmentation.

Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center’s over 12 different lasers afford patients the confidence in knowing all of our laser equipment is FDA approved, medical grade, and safe to meet their specific skin needs. Dedicated to staying at the forefront of laser technology, and as a member of the American Society for Laser & Surgery we are committed to providing safe and effective laser treatments for all of our patients.
