Over the past several years, more and more men and women have created tattoos on their skin. Most are happy, but some decide they would like remove their tattoo. Lasers are the safest, most effective treatment option. The laser fires an ultra-short burst of high energy into the skin which is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink destroying it.

Improvement depends on the color of the tattoo ink. Black, green and red tattoo ink respond best to lasers. Professional tattoos require 5-10 treatment for maximum improvement while amateur tattoos require 2-4 treatments. Final improvement varies from mild to moderate to dramatic.
