Laser Tattoo Removal Information provided by the cosmetic surgery team at ASI Serving patients in Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Springs, Boca Raton, Florida
Tattoos consist of dyes that are injected into the deeper layers of the skin. Tattoos can be removed surgically, by cutting away the layer of tattooed skin. A skin graft may be required and the procedure will leave a scar.
Tattoos are now often treated with a laser under local or general anesthetic, usually without an overnight stay in hospital. The skin is not removed as with conventional surgery. The laser light is absorbed by the tattoo only, causing the dye to break down while causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue. The body's immune system removes the resulting by-products as part of the healing process.
Different colored tattoo dyes respond to different colored lasers. Red, blue and black tattoos are easier to remove than green ones. More than one treatment may be required to give adequate cosmetic results.
