Laser Tattoo Removal
Over the last several decades, tattoos have become increasingly popular for people of all ages. While a tattoo may have suited you at first, you may regret what you have done. Thankfully, our laser tattoo removal in Burbank can safely fade and get rid of unwanted tattoos with a series of rapid treatments – restoring your skin with no unsightly scarring.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal is performed by targeting the pigment in your skin with a scientifically-advanced laser that breaks up the pigment into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally absorbed and metabolized by your body, removing the coloration from your skin. The laser is designed to specifically target pigment without causing damage to the surrounding skin, making the procedure both safe and effective.
Laser tattoo removal usually requires several treatments to fully remove a tattoo, with the number of treatments varying based on the depth, thickness, and color of your tattoo, as well as the individual quality of your skin. Entirely removing a tattoo may require as few as three treatments, or as many as seven or eight, with each treatment resulting in your tattoo becoming progressively lighter.

Am I a candidate for laser tattoo removal?
Almost anyone who wishes to fade or remove an existing tattoo is a good candidate for this procedure, though we always require an in-house consultation to make sure no pre-existing skin conditions might make this treatment unsafe.
What to expect with laser tattoo removal
Laser tattoo removal begins with an application of a local anesthetic or numbing cream to reduce any discomfort from the treatment, and the treatment itself typically takes anywhere from ten minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the tattoo. Once the procedure is complete, we will cover your tattoo with antibiotic ointment and a light bandage, and you can return to your usual activities. For patients in Burbank, laser tattoo removal is quick and our modern approaches reduce pain normally associated with this procedure.
Recovery after laser tattoo removal
Your skin may be slightly tender and red immediately after treatment and form a light scab, but these minor discomforts usually fade within two to three days. Aftercare instructions will be provided, and the most important thing to keep in mind is that you must protect your skin from UV radiation after the procedure.
