Tattoo Removal

Cosmetic

Tattoos can be a beautiful form of self-expression, but sometimes they become an unwanted blemish. At Phoenix Plastic Surgery, we specialize in tattoo removal, helping individuals achieve a clean slate and renewed confidence.

Tattoo Removal: A Personal Choice

Tattoos are often deeply personal representing a moment in time, a belief, or an artistic expression. However, circumstances change, and what was once cherished may no longer align with your present life or aspirations. That’s where tattoo removal surgery comes in.

Tattoo Removal Techniques: Precision and Expertise

Tattoo removal surgery employs various techniques to effectively eliminate unwanted tattoos. These techniques include:

  1. Laser Tattoo Removal: This is one of the most common and effective methods for tattoo removal. A specialized laser targets the tattoo ink, breaking it down into smaller particles that are then naturally eliminated by the body.
  2. Surgical Excision: In cases where a tattoo is small and superficial, surgical excision may be an option. The tattoo is cut out and the surrounding skin is stitched together.
  3. Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion involves the removal of the tattooed skin’s top layer with a rotating device. While it can be effective, it may leave a scar.

The Tattoo Removal Process: What to Expect

Tattoo removal is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation: During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your tattoo, its size, location, and your desired outcome. This is also an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have.
  • Procedure: The method chosen will depend on various factors including the tattoo’s size, color, and depth.
  • Recovery: Recovery time varies depending on the method used. Laser removal typically has a shorter recovery period while surgical excision may require more time.
  • Results: Over several sessions (for laser removal), you’ll begin to see the tattoo fade. Complete removal may require multiple treatments, depending on the tattoo’s characteristics.
