Medical-Grade Laser Precision for Clear, Ink-Free Skin

Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal is a journey of breaking down pigment particles so the body can naturally eliminate them, restoring the skin’s structural integrity. Our clinical approach focuses on using high-performance technology to shatter ink while protecting the surrounding tissue, ensuring the skin regenerates effectively from the lower levels upward.

Understanding Tattoo Removal

Tattoo ink is permanent because the particles are too large for the body’s immune system to remove on its own. Laser tattoo removal works by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy that create a “photo-acoustic” effect, shattering the ink into microscopic fragments. Once broken down, your body’s lymphatic system naturally flushes these particles away over several weeks. At Skintology, we utilize advanced systems like the Cutera ND:YAG and CO2 lasers to target a wide range of ink depths and colors safely.

Symptoms & Considerations

Ink Density
Thickly packed ink or professional tattoos often require more sessions than lighter, amateur tattoos.
Pigment Color
Darker inks (black and blue) respond most effectively to laser energy, while certain lighter colors may require specific wavelengths.
Layering
"Cover-up" tattoos contain more ink per square inch, which can influence the length of the removal process.
Tattoo Age
Older tattoos often fade more predictably as the body has already begun a natural breakdown of the pigment.
Location
Areas with higher blood flow, such as the neck or chest, often clear ink faster than tattoos on the hands or feet.
