Laser Tattoo Removal by Medispa Institute in Houston, TX. Tel (832)300-5593. http://www.medispainstitute.com/menu_laser_tattoo.html
This is laser tattoo removal of a 10+ year old multicolored tattoo (yellow, black, blue/green) on the hand. This video is for removal of the black ink. The yellow ink might fade a bit, and the blue sky will fade a bit as well but the bulk of the removal will be of the black ink. This is a Latina/Hispanic (skin type IV-V) patient, who has a naturally darker skin tone. It is important not to overtreat as this can easilly lead to pigment irregularity/hypopigmentation in skin types of this kind. After the tattoo is treated with the q-switched 1064nm laser for black, it is then treated with a q-switched 532nm for the yellow and blue with very little absorbption (not shown). Because of the darker skin tone of the patient and the nature of the tattoo, removal will take between 6-8 sessions.

  • I am afro-am and have had two laser treatments and both times resulted in hyperpigmentation AND hypopigmentation. The laser was kept at the lowest frequency both times. The hyperp. has toned to some degree while the hypopigmented areas are taking a very long time to return to normal. I am now waiting until my tone is back b4 another treatment , possibly 2-3 months. How can I speed up the healing process and would you recommend no trtmnt or another type of treatment?

  • lashell, did they used a q-switched 1064nm laser? this is the safest laser for tattoo removal on African American (AA) skin.  Make sure they ice pre and post treatment to reduce injury to the epidermal melanin. For hypopig, expose these areas to sun to stimulate melanocytes. As for hyperpig, i would worry about the hypo more. Treat the hyperpig AFTER you repigment the hypo'd areas with a bleaching cream.

  • I agree but u should show ur face...

  • there are privacy issues with showing the face. the purpose of these videos is to share the procedure, not the person.
