What 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.

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 ❤️

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.

Lasers for Tattoo Removal

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.

Picosure

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.

How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
Each treatment of laser tattoo removal costs $500-$2,000 depending on the length of the session. Dr. Khorsandi will talk to each patient during the initial consultation about their treatment plan and reasonable expectations.
Is laser tattoo removal better than other treatments?
There are several alternatives to remove tattoos but mostly by invasive means of skin excision to remove the layers where the ink penetrated. Chemical peels and dermabrasion may also be performed to scrape the upper layers of the skin and help with skin regeneration that will make the ink disappear. The obvious disadvantage of these options over laser treatment is that any of these may eventually lead to scarring. With laser tattoo removal, you don't have these concerns.
How many laser sessions will I need?
The number of treatments may range from 2 – 15 depending on the size, age, and location of the tattoo. Skin condition is also considered a factor. The treatments are spaced between 4 – 7 weeks to give the area time to recover before the succeeding laser treatment. Dr. Khorsandi will be able to give the estimated number of sessions during the initial check.
