Trust Dr. Ross for all my skin needs!

I have been going to Dr. Ross for 3 years now for Dysport and once per year for Fraxel on my face to help with acne scars and large pores. My skin has has never looked so good!

This year I decided to get a tattoo from my ignorant years removed. I had looked at other doctors in the past but they expected you to buy a bundle of sessions up front in quantities of 5. So if your tattoo takes 6 sessions you have to pay for 10, and I never found a place I felt comfortable enough taking a laser to me without causing scars and still not removing the tattoo....until Dr Ross! He gave me an honest opinion on the number of sessions, and let’s you pay per session (calculating it out, even if it takes me 10 sessions it’s still cheaper than the other places). Not only that, he’s the first and only provider to offer numbing agents (cream and local anesthetic). I get both the cream (for 1 hr) then the anesthetic shot, it still hurts like a mother f#@&er but shows that at any other place I wouldn’t have made it through even 1 session, let alone walk out smiling and booking my next.

It hurts, but he’s quick and the staff is awesome, plus he has the #1 tattoo removal laser on the market and with his certifications, the referrals from several people about him, and my own experience with other procedures by him, I know I made the right choice! After just 1 session my tattoo color was cut in half, HALF! Just had my 3rd and everyone, even the staff says how well my tattoo is reacting to the treatment, and it’s looking like I only have a few left (note: other providers estimated 10-15 sessions each scheduled 2-3 months apart. At this rate I’ll only need a total of 6 sessions, and I’m doing them 8 weeks apart). Results definitely are a combination of the laser and the doctor, but the patients also need to know they have a responsibility to take care of their tattoo between sessions. That includes not irritating the skin with clothes rubbing on it, not exposing it to the sun, and treating it well with a healing cream like aquafor, or a good healing moisturizer. Treating the area ensures you don’t cause scar tissue build up that may make future sessions less successful.

Info: tattoo is on lower back and 5inch x 5 inch, white female with low exposure to the sun. Actual time of the laser for each session is less than 5 minutes total. Tattoo is 18 years old, black ink, but not done in a professional setting (remember my “ignorant” age statement earlier? Artist was professional and used a professional gun, but don’t believe the ink itself was the stellar professional quality). Luckily for me my stupidity of not going “professional” actually helps to make the tattoo easier to remove, since there’s no color that also helps since color, ink type, depth (into the skin), age of tattoo and how skin was treated in the time between getting the tattoo and removing all makes a difference, which is something everyone should keep in mind when considering tattoo removal.

So happy and looking forward to starting 2020 without this regret on my body anymore. Only wish I was required to feel a tattoo laser before being allowed to get a tattoo, would definitely have made it so I never put ink on my body!
