What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Whether it brings up painful memories, no longer represents who you are, or you simply don't like how it looks anymore, there are numerous reasons why you may want to have a tattoo removed. Regardless of why, advancements in tattoo removal equipment have helped make it feasible to lighten and potentially eliminate the undesired tattoo in its entirety. At Main Street Medical Center & The Vue MediSpa in Crestview, FL, Dr. Josh provides tattoo removal using the sophisticated Harmony® XL PRO laser system. The laser device has proven to yield better results than other tattoo removal systems and could necessitate fewer treatments.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal?

At Main Street Medical Center & The Vue MediSpa, laser tattoo removal procedures can help Crestview, FL patients who desire to eliminate unwanted, aged, or botched tattoos by providing multiple advantages from treatment, including:

  • Fades embarrassing, unfashionable, or undesirable tattoos from your body
  • Preserves untouched skin from injury or scars
  • Effective, safe treatment
  • Performed in quick, efficient sessions spaced apart

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Right for Me?

There's a number of factors that could improve the success of your laser tattoo removal. Great candidates for this procedure:

  • Have a strong immune system. A solid immune system assists in the body’s ability to break down and eliminate the ink properties.
  • Are in good overall health. Not smoking and eating a well-balanced diet aid the body’s immune system in working at maximum capacity.
  • Have a strong contrast between the ink color and the pigment of the skin. Greater contrasts yield greater results.
  • Have tattoos that are several years old. The older a tattoo is, the better it will respond to treatment.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Following your consultation and skin exam, we'll begin by cleaning the tattoo and surrounding skin before applying a topical anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable during your treatment. Once your skin is ready, one of our trained technicians will go to work with the handpiece, treating the inked skin with different wavelengths of light to remove shades of color. By using specific wavelengths and high-intensity light, the Harmony XL PRO can break down the particles of ink without damaging your skin, resulting in a gentler treatment with less chance of scarring.

The length of time needed to remove your tattoo will depend on its size, how dark it is, and other factors. Some tattoos may need multiple sessions to attain noticeable results. Dr. Josh and our staff will work with you during your consultation to determine how many treatments will be needed.

All of the my family’s experiences with MSMC and The Vue Medispa have been excellent! If you are looking for PCP or Aesthetics they have you covered. They are always so pleasant! It could be Stacey or Lauren making you feel at home, Dr Kolmetz taking the extra time to explain things, or Kristy keeping things running on schedule, but they have definitely mastered the, “Family and Friends” atmosphere while providing great care…

I don't leave reviews often but I believe this office deserved a 5 star review. Every time I have been here the staff has been nothing but nice. They don't waste time here, expect to get in and out. I will say, coming here makes me not hate going to the doctor. I feel they have been very helpful for me and have exceeded my expectations!

Lauren Price is a gem at The Vue Medi Spa. Her Emface, Exion Face, and radiofrequency micro needling treatments are remarkable. After just one session, I saw a significant reduction in wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.

About Us
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?

The price of laser tattoo removal can vary according to the number of necessary treatments and the location of the tattoo. Just like many tattoos are unique, so are tattoo removal treatments. We can discuss the details of your treatment, including your expected cost, during your private consultation at our office. If you like, we can also help you find low-interest medical financing to make your tattoo removal more affordable.

Does laser tattoo removal have any side effects?

The side effects of laser tattoo removal are usually mild and often include redness, inflammation, sensitivity, scabbing, itching, and warmth around the treatment area. Many patients would compare the feeling to a minor sunburn that goes away in time. When you visit for your initial appointment, Dr. Josh will go over your tattoo removal plan and what you can expect in the way of side effects.

How many laser tattoo removal sessions will be needed to see full results?

Color, size, location, and age all play a role in determining how many treatments are needed to remove a tattoo. After examining your tattoo, our staff can put together a treatment plan, which will include an estimate for the number of required sessions.

When will I see results?

Results for laser tattoo treatments vary on a case-by-case basis. Following each session at our office, you will notice the tattoo becoming lighter in appearance. Different colors of ink can respond to different wavelengths, so that may affect the number of treatments you may ultimately need and how quickly your tattoo fades. Laser tattoo removal sessions are generally spaced 2 – 4 weeks apart to allow the ink to lighten and your skin to heal.

Are there options besides laser tattoo removal?

Laser tattoo removal is one of the safest, most effective options for individuals who want to reduce a tattoo's appearance while sparing their skin from unnecessary trauma. Microneedling or dermabrasion may be recommended as part of your tattoo removal plan to aid in treating and fortifying the skin.
