Laser Tattoo Removal Smoothskin Londonderry NH - Serving MA, RI, ME, & VT

Advancement in laser technology brings freedom from unwanted ink.

Procedure

1. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. 

2. A cold aluminum roller is applied prior to laser for additional numbing.

3. Dr. Rainone uses the current gold standard in laser tattoo removal, the Q-switch Yag, specifically the HoyaConBio Medlite™ C6. (see reference article: pdf file) 

He traces out the design of your tattoo with nanosecond pulses of different color (wavelength) laser light. The pigments in your tattoo absorb the laser energy and the ink molecules are fractured.

See Animation showing ink breaking up with laser.


Results and Recovery

Occasionally, especially with the first treatment, there can be blistering, sometimes quite large.
Most often there is some bleeding and scabbing similar to an abrasion.   Healing is rapid from several days to a week.  The amount of ink fading per treatment is not clearly seen until the wound is healed.  The wound is to be kept clean and Aquaphor applied until healed and no further scabbing, peeling, or flaking is seen.

Older, more faded, black, and homemade tattoos
are the easiest to remove and take fewer treatments.

Newer, darker, brighter, turquoise, green or recolored tattoos
are more difficult to remove and may take many more treatments.

Because of the large variation of the amount of ink placed, the depth of ink, and the brand and quality of inks,
the estimation of the number of treatments necessary is not possible, although 8 or more are likely.
