I have 2 dots, about 1/16 of an inch each,1 on my chest and 1 on my side. How hard and how expensive would it be to remove them?
Answer: Removal of radiation markers Absolutely! As long as your oncologist has cleared you to have them removed, meaning the markers are no longer needed they can be readily removed with good laser technology. Many laser centers, such as ours, are happy to treat these at no charge

Answer: Laser removal of tattoos from radiation treatment Hello and thanks for your question. Tattoos used to guide radiation therapy are relatively easy to remove with laser treatments. These tattoos are generally very small and are composed of black (graphite) ink, which readily absorbs laser energy and is thus highly responsive to treatment. Because there is very little ink present in these tattoos they tend to clear after only a few treatments and should not be too expensive to get rid of.

Answer: Removing Radiation Tattoo Markers Thanks for you question. Congratulation on completing your cancer treatment. These tattoos are usually quite easy to remove. We remove cancer survivor's radiation tattoos for free. We think it is a pretty standard practice. Your actual time in front of the laser will be only 10-30 seconds. Most offices would have a hard time justifying anything more than a nominal charge. They would more than likely celebrate your victory over cancer and do it complimentary. Best of luck.

Answer: Easy to remove these markers I have had many ladies come in to me after breast cancer radiation desiring removal of these marks. They may be small, but are a constant reminder of the cancer and can easily be removed. Cost should not be very high since they are very small tattoos. Seek an in person consultation in your area for best advice. Good luck!
