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.

Ok so i went in for a consultation for tattoo removal and i couldn't be more happy about this place.. very clean and professional every employee was very helpful.. i met Sarah and felt welcomed and she was very knowledgeable with her lazers... she told me it would be a process and would take several treatments... so i decided to go through with it and I'm glad i did.. thank you Sarah for everything I'm very pleased with the turn out. I would recommend this place and Sarah to any friends i have i will be back for more treatment and hair removal.. all around great experience thank you vip!
Absolutely love the staff at Vip everyone is so kind and friendly. I've been getting my laser hair removal and tattoo removal done by Sarah and am so happy with my results. I've followed Sarah from her previous employer and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have treatments done. Bye bye hair and ugly 20yr old tattoosonly few treatments left and they will be completely gone.
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.
REVLITE SI
The RevLite SI uses an Nd:YAG laser for tattoo removal. The RevLite is best at removing tattoo pigments from dark skin tones. The RevLite may also be used for laser skin resurfacing and other skin treatments.
