You No Longer Need to Live with that Regrettable Tattoo

Last updated 2 months ago

In the past, those who got tattoos committed to an irreversible and permanent change to their bodies. However, recent developments in technology and medicine have allowed for the development of new, effective techniques to remove unwanted tattoos. Tattoo removal procedures, such as those offered by the Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre, can be used to successfully remove tattoos of all shapes, sizes, and colors. These procedures include:

Laser Surgery: During laser tattoo removal, the surgeon treats the ink pigments with a high-intensity laser beam. Lasers have become the standard treatment for the removal of tattoos because they offer a low-risk and highly effective way to remove the ink without an incision. Depending on the pigments used in the tattoo, your surgeon will select the type of laser to use and possibly recommend multiple treatments.
Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion essentially ‘sands’ the skin of the tattoo, causing the surface and middle layers to slough off. A combination of surgical and dressing techniques helps to raise and absorb the remaining ink.
Surgical Excision: During the surgical excision process, the surgeon removes the tattoo with a scalpel and stiches the wound. This approach allows the surgeon to target and remove the ink with precision.

Whether you decide to remove your tattoo for social, cultural, or aesthetic reasons, a consultation will help you determine which procedure will fit your individual needs.
