Tattoo Removal Treatments

Tattoo removal treatments use advanced laser technology to gradually break down unwanted tattoo ink in the skin. Over a series of sessions, the body naturally clears the fragmented pigment, fading the tattoo safely. Treatments are customized based on the tattoo’s size, color, and depth. The goal is to achieve clearer skin with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. 🎯

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during my tattoo removal or pigment treatment?

Before your tattoo removal treatment, the Imber Medical team cleanses and preps your skin and may apply a topical anesthetic. You may not need to be numbed if you are having a pigment treatment. The Enlighten laser emits short energy pulses to shatter the unwanted pigment or tattoo ink under your skin. These pulses may feel like flicks from a rubber band, and most patients tolerate the treatment very well.

What can I expect once my pigment treatment or tattoo removal is complete?

After your treatment, the Imber Medical team applies a cream or ointment to the targeted skin and wraps the area to protect it. You may experience swelling, redness, tenderness, crusting, or itching, or the area may feel similar to when you’ve sunburned. Don’t be discouraged if the area darkens briefly — this will slough off after a few days. The Imber Medical team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. You don’t have to see your skin marred by unwanted tattoos, pigment, or skin concerns when Imber Medical has readily available safe, effective solutions.
