Thank you for your question and picture. It is possible to remove the tattoo in a single operation. If there is enough flexibility in the skin surrounding a tattoo, it may be possible to cut around the tattoo and draw the cut skin edges together with stitches. Typically an oval shaped cut is designed as this allows a neat, straight or slightly curved surgical scar to be made. Your tattoo is small, yet covers a large surface area of the finger, therefore the skin not having enough elasticity. Staged Tattoo Removal may need to be an option, where removal of the whole tattoo would leave a gap in the skin which could not be drawn together easily with stitches, staged surgery can be used. A comfortable amount of the tattoo is removed to allow stitching of the wound. A few months later, the surgical wound will be well healed and the skin will have stretched enough to allow a further portion of the tattoo to be removed Skin Grafting an alternative to staged surgery where skin, taken from another area of your body, can be used to fill a gap which cannot be drawn together with stitches. This is a single operation however it leaves a second mark or scar on the body where the skin graft is taken from. More importantly, grafted skin will in many cases be different in texture and appearance to the adjacent skin.These can be performed under local anaesthetic. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can access you properly to give you a realistic idea of the outcome you can achieve. All The Best!
Yes, this can be removed with laser tattoo removal. It will take a series of treatments. Cost will vary, but I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer
You can absolutely remove this tattoo. Finger and "wedding band" tattoos are one of the most common types of tattoos we remove. The fact that the ink is black bodes well as black is the easiest color to remove. What may take some time is the location. Tattoos furthest away from the heart, on the fingers and feet take longer. Price will vary depending on which part of the country you are in. Many clinics offer a discount for purchasing a package upfront. Do your research and choose your provider carefully. Good luck!
The tattoo on your finger that is shown in the photo can be successfully removed. Expect it to take a series of treatments spread apart by 6-12 weeks between each one. The exact number of treatments is unpredictable at the start of process and will be dependent on the type of laser used as well as other factors related to the tattoo itself. The price will vary by provider. As a rough guideline, you should expect it to cost approximately $500-$1000 for the entire series of treatments for a small tattoo like yours. That is an estimate only, but will give you some idea of price range if you haven't looked into this type of treatment prior to now.
Your ring tattoo can be removed by the PicoWay laser. It will take between five and 10 sessions to remove the tattoo. The cost varies by location and your dermatologist’s expertise. A board-certified dermatologist who’s an expert in PicoWay will be able to help you.
The PicoSure laser is has been developed and approved for tattoo ink removal, acne scars and any other blemishes you dislike. The PicoSure is FDA-approved and highly effective for removing regrettable tattoos and scars. I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
I use the PicoSure laser which I think is the best on the market. It will take 6-8 treatments and I would just charge you $100 a treatment. Hope to see you soon! DSR
Yes, this is treatable with laser - either nanosecond or the newer picosecond lasers. To see significant improvement, you will typically require 12 treatments with a nanosecond laser or a minimum of 6 with the newer picosecond laser. Consult with a board-certified and experienced cosmetic physician.
Hello, thank you for your question and for including a photo. This tattoo would be considered an easy tattoo to remove with laser. Black ink is easiest to target and there is such a small amount of ink. I might guess, with the PicoWay laser, it would take between 3-5 treatments at a cost of $250 total. You should find a board certified dermatologist to assure safe/effective treatments.Good Luck!
