LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
aesthetic medicine
TREATMENT PROCESS
During the initial consultation, Dr. Castaldo evaluates the tattoo, discusses expectations, and outlines the estimated number of sessions needed. Each session is quick, usually lasting only a few minutes. Treatments are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal properly between sessions.
ADVANTAGES OF THE Q-SWITCHED ND:YAG LASER
Precision and Safety: Targets ink pigments without affecting surrounding tissue.
Effective on Multiple Colors: Dual wavelength capability allows for removal of both dark and light tattoo inks.
Minimal Side Effects: Advanced technology reduces the risk of scarring or hypopigmentation.
Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
Temporary redness and peeling are normal and usually subside in a few days. It is essential to moisturize the treated area and avoid sun exposure to protect the healing skin and preserve the results.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE
Laser tattoo removal is suitable for most individuals who wish to remove tattoos for personal or professional reasons. However, it is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those with certain medical conditions that could affect treatment safety.
