TATTOO REMOVAL
WHAT TATTOO REMOVAL DOES
We use different wavelengths of laser light to treat different colors of ink in your tattoo. As the light energy is directed into your skin, it is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles trapped in the dermis of your skin. When the ink particles absorb this energy, they instantly shatter into tiny fragments. In just a few laser sessions, your skin can be ink-free.
HOW TO PREPARE
To receive this treatment it is important that you discontinue: antibiotics, topical prescriptions, retinols 2 weeks prior; tanning, self-tanners and sun exposure 4-6 weeks prior. All tattoo removal appointments are scheduled as a consultation with possible treatment. This treatment cannot be performed on pregnant or nursing patients.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We do offer numbing cream for an additional charge, but most patients opt out as the sensation is manageable. Depending on the size, color, and patient's skin type most tattoos can be treated in less than 5 minutes. Your provider will cover the treated area with a bandage. Avoid washing the area or participating in physical activity for the next 48 hours. Some patients may blister – this is normal, simply apply Aquaphor and ice area until blistering subsides.

VEIN THERAPY
WHAT VEIN THERAPY DOES
The laser we use to treat vein abnormalities delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel so it can be reabsorbed by your body.

To receive this treatment it is important that you discontinue antibiotics, topical prescriptions, and retinol 2 weeks prior and discontinue tanning, self-tanners, and any direct exposure to sun 4-6 weeks prior.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This procedure can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or telangiectasia) can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins and large, blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates for this treatment. Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece.
POST CARE NOTES
- Compression stockings (30-40 mm Hg pressure) are required to maintain optimal results. Wear them immediately following treatment for up to 2 weeks after.
- Avoid heat and exercising for 48 hours post-treatment.
- Hot tubs and saunas should be avoided for 2 weeks following treatment to avoid venous dilation.
