Tattoo Removal Results

Happy Sunday-

We've been received a large number of calls the last few months that catch us by surprise. They come from patients who have been to other tattoo removal clinics and have gone through 5 or more treatments but are unsatisfied with the results.

Laser tattoo removal is a procedure that takes several key elements to be successful. First, the clinic needs to have a provider who has experience and specialized training at tattoo removal. Tattoos vary across dozen of variables - color, size, type of ink, depth in the skin, previous treatments, skin sensitivity, history of scarring, etc. Having a strong medical background allows the tattoo removal specialist to use the right settings on the laser and know when a patient needs something extra. A tattoo that is professionally done is handled differently than a tattoo done with a ballpoint pen and deeper in the skin.

Second, the Houston tattoo removal clinic should be using the correct laser for the procedure. Many of the patients who are unsatisfied with their prior treatments have been somewhere where the wrong laser was used. A medical laser used for laser hair removal isn't appropriate for laser tattoo removal. An IPL (intense pulsed light) machine used for facial resurfacing/rejuvination isn't appropriate for laser tattoo removal. A laser with 20 different handpieces for a variety of procedures isn't as effective as one designed exclusive for laser tattoo removal.

At New Look Laser Tattoo Removal, the medical staff uses a laser designed specifically for tattoo removal. The wavelength, energy output, and other settings are perfect to remove a wide range of colored tattoos, but would never be used for laser hair removal or other procedures.
