Independent research shows that laser tattoo removal is the safest and quickest treatment available. It is also the least likely to damage your skin. In fact, some say it's less painful than getting a tattoo. At Tropicalaser Centers we use specifically designed lasers that target the ink within the tattoo. These exclusive state-of-the-art lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment of the tattoo with a high-intensity light beam. The body then slowly breaks down and absorbs the pigment. While most tattoos will appear significantly lighter after one treatment, several visits are usually required to completely remove your tattoo.
Tattoos fade after each laser tattoo removal treatment breaks down and removes the ink. Over the course of a short series of sessions, the targeted tattoo will gradually fade. Once the tattoo has been successfully removed the result is permanent.
Not all lasers are created equal to deliver the results you need
Why Medlite Laser?
This Laser, unlike others, is specifically made for tattoo removal and is considered the "Gold Standard" in the industry. It is unique in that it uses four different hand pieces, each with a different wavelength to target all ink colors.How does Medlite remove the tattoo?
A beam of a specific light wavelength passes through the skin and in a flash, measured in nanoseconds, fragments the encapsulated ink located below the epidermis by a "photo acoustic" effect with very little heat.. The left over particles can then be removed by the body's natural immune system.
How many treatments will it take?
On average professional tattoos require 6-8 treatments, while amateur tattoos require 4-5 treatments. The number further depends on the type, depth, color, age, skin type and amount of ink. It will take 3 months until you reach your maximum benefit because the body continues to rid itself of the ink after we finish.
Does the laser remove all colored tattoos?
Dark (blue, black) and reds inks will resolve the best 95% of the time.
Oranges and purples also fade well. Green and yellow are the most difficult and we can only promise significant fading. White, flesh colored and metallic based tattoos don't respond to laser.
Is the process painful?
No more than applying the tattoo. Patients report that it feels like "snapping a rubber band "on the skin. The majority of patients require no anesthetics however we at Tropicalaser use the supercooled "Zimmer" blower that not only reduces the discomfort (much better than EMLA cream) but also protects the skin and promotes healing.
How much does each treatment cost?
The cost of each session depends on the size of the tattoo or tattoos being removed, with sessions as low as $150 per session. We'll price each session during the free consultation but can give an estimate over the phone. We'll categorize your tattoo into "small", "medium" or "large" for the purpose of pricing, and give discounts for multiple tattoos removed at the same time. Small tattoos are generally 2 inches by 2 inches, or four square inches. This means that a 1 inch by 4 inch tattoo would be small as well.
A medium tattoo is a tattoo up to 4 inches by 4 inches, or 2 inches by 8 inches, etc.
A large tattoo is normally given a custom price per session, and we are competitive in our pricing and superior in our service.
Because we know it takes several treatments to get rid of the tattoo we offer significant discounts packages if you prepay upfront for multiple treatments (five)
What can I expect post-treatment?
A special moisturizing ointment and a dressing are applied. Ice packs applied on and off every 20 minutes for 12 hours are recommended. There should be no pain. The treated area has to be kept clean and out of the sunlight. Written instructions are given and our staff is trained to answer your questions. Total healing can be expected in 2-3 weeks in most patients.
