Typically, tattoo excision provides less than satisfactory cosmetic results. I would recommend tattoo excision as your last option. Laser tattoo removal has revolutionized the industry of removing tattoos. It is the safest, quickest and most likely to leave your skin intact following treatment. Size, color, location and the age of the tattoo will determine the number of treatments necessary to effectively complete removal. For small tattoos my office charges $40 per treatment. Excision of tattoos may be more economical than multiple laser tattoo removal treatments. So, if scarring isn’t an issue I would seek counsel with a skin surgeon who does tattoo removal and by the way…. I have an office in Santa Monica.

It may be difficult and/or unsafe to excise the tattoo in one session. You should at least consider laser tattoo treatment as well. I hope this helps.

You would be a great candidate for the Alex Trivantage laser. This laser is the only one on the market that can target colors. The multiple wave lengths can target all the colors in the tattoo with 4-6 sessions. You should contact a board certified dermatologist as soon as possible.
