  • There are so many factors that determine how many treatments you’ll need. These include: whether the tattoo was done by an amateur or a professional; what type of ink was used; how good your immune system is at clearing the ink; and finally, the color of the tattoo.

  • A laser is concentrated above the skin, focusing tremendous energy over pockets of ink trapped in the skin. The laser shatters the ink particles, making them smaller and smaller, liberating the ink from the cells so your immune system can carry away the tiny ink droplets. The body naturally expels the ink particles in about 6 to 8 weeks.

  • Although the FDA has approved several types of laser for permanent hair reduction, results can vary. An individual’s metabolism, hormonal level, hair quality and number of hair follicles can all affect the outcome.

    Moreover, normal hair goes through a growth cycle in three stages: the anagen, or growing phase; the telogen, or resting phase; and the catagen, or transitional phase. During the anagen phase, hair is susceptible to the lasers energy, but during the telogen and catagen phases, it is resistant.

    At any one time, various percentages of body hair will be in each of these phases, making complete removal unlikely without multiple sessions.Typically five treatments are necessary to achieve the desired result.

  • The treatment time can vary considerably depending on the size of the area treated, and the particular technique used. A small area such as the upper lip may take only five minutes, while a larger area like the back or legs may take up to one hour. Since the laser affects only those hairs in the growing stage, and not all hairs will be in this stage at the same time, several treatments will most likely be needed to effectively remove all the hair from one area. Subsequent sessions will be scheduled at least a month apart. By this time you will probably begin to notice the re-growth of hairs that were previously in the resting stage.

  • The laser treatment itself can cause a slight tingling sensation. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. Because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, topical anesthesia can be an option.

  • A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling numerous follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair’s growth.
