Get Rid of Unwanted Ink With This Non-Ablative Treatment

Tattoo removal has come a long way since the earliest surgical and sanding type procedures of the 1970s. With a growing popularity in tattoo art, there is a greater need for a safe, effective, and cosmetically superior method of removal. Tattoos are permanent, but the reason for getting the tattoo often fades. Laser tattoo removal at New Jersey plastic surgeon Dr. Caroline Glicksman’s practice is a staged procedure that gently fades the pigment while producing the least damage to the overlying skin. The laser energy blasts the tattoo pigments into tiny, digestible fragments that the body can break down and absorb.

Dr. Glicksman is presently using the Hoya ConBio laser. This type of laser is a Q-switched Nd:YAG that can safely remove dark blue, black, and red ink tattoos, as well as most shades of green and light blue. It is one of the most advanced aesthetic medical lasers, emitting multiple wavelengths to provide for a full spectrum of laser tattoo removal.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal in New Jersey?

New tattoos should be well healed before beginning laser treatment. Although tattoos can be removed from all skin types, it is best to avoid tanning before laser treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments will vary based on the location of the tattoo, the colors, the intensity of the colors, and the size of the tattoo. Typically, complete removal takes about four to five separate laser treatments.

Will I Scar From the Laser Tattoo Removal Treatments?

The goal of tattoo removal is to remove the unwanted ink without trading it for an unwanted scar. Dr. Glicksman uses the latest laser technology and personally performs all treatments using care to minimize thermal injuries. A comprehensive scar management program helps assure that any scarring or pigment changes are minimal.
