How Tattoo Removal Works

sounds like an unmasterd medical practice just waiting for a lawsuit to happen.

Im happy with my tattoo's and will always remain happy, even if i THINK some of them are stupid.

An interesting video on how tattoo removal works. I'm not really sure whether I would consider getting a tattoo, from what I've seen, it takes an hour at the most, and it takes months to a year to remove.

They forgot to mention that, by exposing the skin to cold air, it makes the skin contract, and also pushes the nerves closer to the skin, thus actually enhancing the feeling of pain.

Thanks for your interesting opinion, Max3660. It is of course entirely medically incorrect (see also: the opposite of true). If it were correct then the company that produces the Zimmer Cryo 6 would not be in business, nor would the majority of our patients choose to use their device in the more than 53,000 procedures we've preformed to date. But again, an interesting theory. Thanks for sharing.

Dr. Is there any risk or effect, if, you remove my tatto, & then I get another one in the same spot?
Beacause thats what I'm planning to do!

There is no risk if the removal process is done properly. A significant number of our patients are lightening old tattoos before they cover them up with new ones. Great question.

lol ofcourse there are long term effects, but u have to take that into count when u had that tatto made, not when u want to have it removed.

What about long term side effects, like cancer ? Skin diseases, Skin cancer, ink poisioning ? Is using a laser like that, on the skin really safe ? Without the Ozone layer, wouldn't radiation blister the skin ? The Sun's UV rays ? What do those blister's signify ? High Energy Laser's vaporize targets, why do they hurt, why does the body feel so much pain ? What is pain a sign of ? Something good ? Maybe pain is not a good indicator

Did you get any nasty blisters? if so, were they big? I am considering removing a foot tattoo OUCH! good lord, that would just be pure torture. How big was yours?

At Dr. TATTOFF we've removed tattoos as small as a couple of dots, to as large as a full back. We treat very conservatively so blistering is minimal if at all, and we also guarantee our laser services, so you will receive the most effective AND safest treatment possible. Check out some of our live tattoo removal videos to get an idea of how long it takes and how people react to the feeling of laser tattoo removal.
