 Conventional wisdom has always been that tattoos are forever, unless you are willing to undergo a painful procedure that could possibly result in permanent scarring. Since millions of people in the US have tattoos and experts say that 50% of them have considered having them removed, the situation did not seem promising. We are glad to tell you about a new technology that can remove tattoos without surgery and with little or no scarring.
Laser Tattoo Removal is the process of using laser light to break up the ink in a tattoo so that your body will absorb it naturally over time. The laser is applied in small microbursts that penetrate the outer skin layers and target the tattoo ink itself. The ink shatters into small particles that are then carried away by your body’s immune system. The bursts also will break up cells that contain large amounts of ink. These dying cells will also be carried away with the ink fragments. After several weeks you will see your tattoo fading away. Depending on the type of tattoo, your skin type, and other factors, several treatments may be necessary to fully remove the tattoo. At Monarch we use the Medlite C6 laser, which is widely regarded as the finest tattoo removal laser available.
Unlike older methods, scarring and infections are rare with Laser Tattoo Removal. The procedure itself is relatively pain free and can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more depending on the size of the tattoo and other factors.
Our specialists at Monarch Med Spa will assess your case and tell you if this procedure is right for you. You owe it to yourself to at least get the facts from professionals who care. We offer free consultations in the greater Philadelphia and Baltimore metro areas.
