Dr. Barber in the News!

Latest News in Plastic Surgery!

 

There are several ways to remove tattoos including laser removal, excision of the tattoo (if it is small enough) and dermabrasion. The most common way these days is the use of the laser. This technique allows the removal of complex and large tattoos with minimal or no scarring. Tattoo removal requires several different kinds of lasers depending on the colors of the tattoo. A blue-black tattoo is typically the easiest one to remove. The tattoos with more exotic colors tend to be more difficult to remove and therefore take more time. One can expect that it will take up to 12 treatments or more to erase the tattoo, and even then there may be a shadow of the tattoo left. The procedure is done in the office and does not require the use of an anesthetic. If the tattoo is small enough and in an area that is hidden, it is often less expensive and less time consuming to simply surgically remove the tattoo. Surgery can remove the area in one or two surgeries but will leave a scar at the site of the excision. Dr. Barber will be happy to evaluate any tattoo and give you an idea of what will be involved with its removal.
