TATTOOS

OUR TREATMENTS
LASER THERAPY

From the Tahitian word tatau, meaning “to mark”, tattoos are created by inserting ink or other pigments below the skin. Tattoos are relatively permanent, although over time, the ink line may spread or change color.

Unfortunately, many people eventually regret getting a tattoo. Luckily, tattoos can be successfully removed with laser therapy, although some discoloration may occur and some pigment changes may remain. Precise results vary and depend on many factors, including the tattoo’s size, location and age; the type and color of ink that was used; how deep the ink penetrates into the skin; and how the tattoo was applied.

At Zel, we remove tattoos with state–of–the–art laser therapy. The type of laser we’ll use on your skin will depend on your tattoo’s pigment colors and the other factors listed above.

Laser Therapy: In most cases, more than 90 percent of a tattoo can be faded through laser treatment. Some ink colors respond better than others to laser therapy. Black and red inks generally respond the best, while blue, green and yellow inks are the most difficult to remove. Professional tattoos typically require 6 to 12 treatments, and sometimes more. Amateur tattoos tend to require 5 to 6 treatments.
