ABOUT TATTOO REMOVAL

Tattoo pigment resides in the deep layers of the skin making it permanent and difficult to
remove. Lasers are the most effective way to remove tattoos with the only other option being
excision. Lasers specifically designed for tattoo removal bypass the epidermis, the top layer of
the skin, applying a powerful blast of energy to the tattoo pigment particles, effectively "blowing
them up" and releasing the pigment. The body then absorbs the released material. It takes
approximately 6 weeks for the body to absorb and clear of the released pigment. Because a
large number of pigment particles exist to create a visible tattoo, multiple treatments are
required. The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal depends on the following factors:

Ink Color - Darker colors such as green, blue and black are faster and easier to remove
because darker colors easily absorb laser light.   Red, yellow and other bright colors may be the
last to go in a tattoo removal process. Different lasers wavelengths are used to target different
colors.

Professional vs. Amateur - Professional tattoo artists deposit ink deeper in the skin to improve
the longevity and the integrity of the tattoo. Therefore, professional tattoos are more difficult to
remove. "Street" tattoos are easier to remove and may take fewer treatments.

Laser Power - Higher power lasers with multiple wavelengths have the capability to target
deeper pigment and multiple colors. With the RevLite, we can effectively treat all tattoo colors
with fewer treatments as compared to predicate technology.

Does it hurt? We utilize many methods of topical, local and applied anesthesia depending on
the size and site of the tattoo. Even though pain tolerance varies from patient to patient, pain is
not a major factor to consider when deciding on this treatment. A sunburn type effect is usually
reported by patients. Local anesthesia is available for those less tolerant.

Tattoo removal treatment is usually performed every 5 to 6 weeks and at least 6 treatments are
required in most cases. Some tattoos may need multiple treatments depending on the factors
as described above.

Tattoo removal is affordable and credit is available. Please call or e-mail our office for a quote.
