Can laser treatment for tattoo removal alter blood tests?

Hi NN.  Permanent makeup removal is not typically placed at 2 mm (2000 microns).  If we are using our fractional laser, we will typically treat at 300-500 microns.  In fact, we do not know of fractional lasers that have an ablation depth of 2000 microns.For permanent makeup removal before and af...

There a several variables that can make the process a lengthy time, however, 17 sessions is quite a lot. We usually require 4-8 for black tattoos depending on the ink used and depth of the tattoo. It is best to seek consultation with a well trained, reputable, and experienced provider. Go over...

Yes white spots/ white bubbles are normal. This is gas that has formulated under the skin after the laser treatment. This will fade over time. Make sure to consult with your attending provider so they can assess and discuss your concerns.

Thank you for your question. Red tones respond best to the 532 wavelength. I would recommend a Pico laser with this wavelength. My preference is the PiQo4 laser that has 4 Pico wavelengths including 532 making it possible to remove 96% of ink colors.Dr. Daniel Ritacca

Hello, Thank you for your question.  Pricing is not only based on the size of the tattoo, but it is based on the volume of ink in the tattoo. A tattoo that is mostly outline with less ink volume requires far less pulses than a tattoo that is heavy with ink. Another thing that may determine ...

The most reliable laser wavelength for red/orange colors is 532 nm.  I would recommend either a traditional Q-switched 532 nm laser or a picosecond 532 nm laser.  Caution is required with 532 nm in darker or tanned skin because it is well absorbed by pigment in the skin and could have a higher r...
