Contact UsWhat Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
While many people get a tattoo with the intention of keeping it forever, laser tattoo removal allows people to change their minds. Our laser tattoo removal systems at VIP Plastic Surgery can erase all sizes and colors of tattoos at any location on your body or face. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Khorsandi has invested in two Cynosure laser tattoo removal systems (the PicoSure and the RevLite SI) at his Las Vegas, NV practice. Why? These laser systems are the fastest and most effective for tattoo removal while causing minimal discomfort for the patient.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
During the procedure, the area where the tattoo exists on the skin is first sterilized before the laser is applied. Numbing cream may be applied to reduce the snapping effect of the laser beams. The duration of treatment may last for few minutes for small tattoos, but for larger tattoos, the treatment times will be much longer. A laser handpiece is guided on the surface of the area for treatment. There is definitely no downtime and post-treatment care is minimal. The patient must keep the treated area moist and covered with a protective dressing. Almost all patients require multiple visits where this process will be repeated each time until the ink has diminished and the signs of the tattoo are gone.
VIP Plastic Surgery Reviews
Several of our staff and Talent have used this practice for a few different treatments, we had all good experiences and wanted to share below: Laser Tattoo Removal: After using 4 different laser professionals over the years, theirs is by far the strongest and most powerful thus far. More ink was removed in 1 session than any previous session with others. Morpheus: Was skeptical this would actually work.. but within 10 days the little tuft under the chin was GONE. And the slight sagging along the jawline gone ( we only did next/chin/jawline not entire face ). Will definitely repeat once a year to remain snatched! Patient age 37 and fit w/ trouble tightening that specific area with exercise / diet alone. This really worked. A++ Lip lift: For those who can't achieve the high cupids bow look with filler or want to minimize how much filler they need, slam dunk. Recovery was easy, looked 7-8 years younger post-op. Game changer. Finally the lips always desired and without filler. C02 Laser: Used 1 year post-op from lip lift to minimize scarring. Depending on how your body heals / how you scar a white spider-y scar can develop over time. 1-2 sessions with the C02 laser and it's nearly invisible. Some prefer to do their whole face for fresh youthful skin and the results we saw were GREAT. Also - Mel is amazing we love her!! And Dr K is highly experienced, makes you feel comfortable and the process fun. Highly recommend VIP for literally everything ❤️
Stop looking for the best plastic surgeon because you just landed on Dr. Christopher Khorsandi and found the ELITE. I cannot put into short words how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Khorsandi and his incredible team for my breast augmentation revision. Had I found him sooner I would’ve never had to have a revision in the first place. From the moment I sent my inquiry for a consultation to the day I stepped into his office I just knew I was making the best decision. I expressed my concerns to Dr. Khorsandi and he knew exactly what needed to be done without hesitation or question. The trust was immediate so I moved forward with scheduling the revision. At pre-op everything was solidified and bloodwork was done to make sure I was in good health to even have the procedure which wasn’t something my previous surgeon did. Fast forward to surgery day, check in was seamless and I was in the operating room before I knew it. With my revision Dr. Khorsandi had to repair my pockets and add a Galaflex internal mesh to prevent them from bottoming out again and falling into my armpits. With all of this there was certainly more discomfort this time around but it was worth it in the end. My insecurity is gone and my confidence is through the roof. So I just want to thank Dr. Khorsandi, Patricia, Sara, Yadira, Tina, Melanie, and everyone on his team for all they have done. I’ve now done Dysport and Laser Tattoo removal with them because they are WORTH IT. Now, I just want to add that when I came to write the review I noticed some recent negative reviews that are just completely absurd. Most of which come from people who have only left negative reviews wherever they go. One in specific left negative reviews on multiple plastic surgeons in the valley so if you’re reading this I hope you’re grown enough to understand that there are malicious people everywhere who attack businesses behind keyboards and have never stepped foot in this office. Make the call for your consultation because you will not regret it and you'll see for yourself that you're in the best hands.
This is my favorite place for all of my procedures. Sarah is my favorite aesthetician, ever! She takes care of my face with lasers and peels, has successfully removed 90% of this awful arm tattoo and does laser hair removal on my whole body. I highly, highly recommend VIP and SARAH! I look forward to our monthly pain sessions lol
I have had the best experience at VIP Plastic surgery. Melanie is the "Master Esthetician". She is knowledgeable and on top of the latest new trends with lasers, skin care, etc. I will be going to her for all my upkeep work on maintaining a youthful face and neck. And especially with the removal of a few tattoos with the "Picosure Laser". She is a complete doll! *Before and After* *1 session of the picosure laser treatment *
This is my go to spot! Dr. K is a very talented and knowledgeable man and I feel very confident relying on him for my fillers and Botox. I am looking into trying some of their facial and laser services they also offer :-)

Will the laser COMPLETELY remove MY TATTOO?
Patients should always maintain realistic expectations when it comes to laser tattoo removal. Even in the best cases, it is unlikely that your tattoo will become entirely invisible because there is usually some residual ink remaining. The results depend on the intensity of the tattoo ink and the patient’s skin reaction to treatment. For example, black and blue ink often respond very well to laser tattoo removal, while green, light blue, and neon colors are more difficult. However, you can expect to experience a dramatic reduction in the visibility of your tattoo until it's barely noticeable.
How long is the recovery time for a laser treatment?
After a laser tattoo removal treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, and irritation with blistering and scabbing. It can be uncomfortable, but keeping the area clean and well cared for in addition to taking pain relievers and using ice packs can help. Depending on the area treated and the size of the tattoo, you can expect to be healed in about four to six weeks. You can shower about two to three hours after your treatment, but it is not recommended to allow the shower stream to directly hit your treated area. You should avoid swimming, hot tubs, and taking a bath until the blistering and scabbing have healed.

PICOSURE
Cynosure’s newest Alexandrite laser, PicoSure, is named after the picosecond (one trillionth of a second), which is how fast it emits short pulses of light energy. The PicoSure can remove tattoo ink faster than other lasers, but it works best on lighter skin tones.
