Laser Tattoo Removal by Medispa Institute in Houston, TX. Tel: 832-300-5593 http://www.medispainstitute.com/menu_laser_tattoo.html
This is the first session of laser tattoo removal of a brand new, 4 month old tattoo on African-American skin. I estimate this will take a minimum of 8 sessions, possibly more because the darker color of skin limits the use of higher energy for removal. In other words, for darker skin tones, we need to use lower energies during the treatments, which is spread out over more sessions. There are 23 stars all over the arm and the ink is mainly black but also has red, blue, green, and some light yellow pigment mixed into some of it. We used the state of the art q-switched 1064nm and 532nm laser to complete this removal. The patient was given numbing cream which she applied for approximately 1 hour. We also used ice to help numb the area and prevent blistering. She barely felt any pain reporting anywhere from "5 out of 10" when we just started, to "2 out of 10" in pain for the majority of the procedure. Aquaphor cream and ice were applied immediately post treatment to prevent blistering.

  • I am african american and I have a pretty large tattoo on my upper back. It is actually a tribal art tattoo that has been attempted to be covered by another tattoo. How many treatment would it take on average to have a tattoo compltetly removed on black skin?

  • The darker your skin the more sessions you will need for removal. A tattoo that is covered up means you have MORE ink than normal which would increase the number of sessions as well. Sorry, but you are looking at a minimum of 12 sessions, or as many as 15 or more, depending on how the ink reacts to the laser.

  • I heard this was like $50.00 a sq. inch. Is this true?

  • yes, but for larger tats, and ones that aren't filled in completely you get discounts

  • what are those white things forming when the laser contacts the tattoo.

    Why does the white thing appear only on the tattoo and not normal skin?

  • whitening is temporary reaction with tattoo ink, which goes away within several minutes. where there is no ink there is no reaction - the laser is selectively absorbed by ink
