While about 10 million Americans sport tattoos on various body parts, almost half of the people who get a tattoo later regret the decision and want it removed. Previous tattoo removal techniques were quite painful and resulted in scarring. Laser tattoo removal, on the other hand, represents the latest in tattoo removal for both women and men in Miami.
Most tattoos can successfully be removed, and lasers are particularly effective in this effort. The laser beams break up the tattoo's ink particles into small fragments, which the body can safely remove. In addition, the laser can target the tattoo pigment without damaging the surrounding skin.
If you have an old tattoo or two that no longer serves your lifestyle, Dr. Salama and the experts at Elite Plastic Surgery can help. Dr. Salama has a wealth of laser tattoo removal experience, and can help your fresh skin shine through.
The best candidates for tattoo removal generally have tattoos on their arms, legs, buttocks or chest – areas with less body fat are more challenging to treat. Likewise, the older the tattoo, the easier it is to remove, as a general rule. You can discuss your tattoo and any concerns or questions with Dr. Salama and his team.
Another benefit of laser tattoo removal is its short duration – most sessions only take a few minutes; depending on the size and location of your tattoo, you may require two to four sessions over the course of a few weeks or months. Following the treatment, ice and pain medication can help with any swelling and mild pain.
Laser tattoo removal is the least painful and the most effective way to remove an old tattoo, offering a great option for Miami men and women looking for a change.
