Erasing the Past

Earlier technology for tattoo removal often produced results that were less than satisfactory, and sometimes involved significant risks. Dr. Benedetti uses advanced laser technology which allows him to remove even the darkest and largest tattoos with:

  • Excellent tattoo removal outcomes
  • Fewer treatments
  • Reduced risk of scarring or infection
  • Minimal post-procedure downtime

Dr. Benedetti can adjust the laser wavelengths and spot size in order to efficiently target a wide range of ink colors with fewer treatments. Due to the versatility of this technology and Dr. Benedetti's level of skill and training, he has achieved excellent results on all sizes and types of tattoos, including permanent makeup tattoos.

How It Works

Prior to your procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The laser handpiece delivers concentrated pulses of laser energy that are selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigments; surrounding tissues are unharmed by these specifically selected laser wavelengths. The laser energy breaks down the ink, which is then gradually eliminated by the body's natural cleansing process. The tattoo then fades or disappears completely over time.

Your Recovery

There may be some flaking and/or redness at the treatment site, but you should be able to resume normal activities immediately. Dr. Benedetti will give you specific instructions for aftercare, and let you know when your follow-up treatments can be scheduled. You may need to wait up to 2 months between treatments for your body to eliminate the tiny ink particles. The number of treatments required will vary, but typically ranges from 6 to 10. Risk of scarring from laser tattoo removal is extremely low.
