The Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal vs. Cover-Ups

At our medical spa in Orlando Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center we have been performing laser tattoo removal for 3 years & have seen over 400 tattoos within that time walk through our doors for consultations. I can't tell you how many times the tattoos people want removed our "cover ups" meaning a tattoo on top of a tattoo. Why tattoo cover ups can be a bad idea: #1 the tattoo usually ends up being MUCH bigger-& when you do decide to get it removed via laser tattoo removal it will cost you double! #2 Most of the time you can still see the first tattoo & that looks weird. #3 Do not get a flesh tattoo b/c laser tattoo removal works via pigment meaning the darker the pigment the easier it is to remove it, flesh color is virtually impossible to remove. #4 If you do not fade it via laser tattoo removal first the colors can look awkward #5 You risk making it worse & are spending money to do so!! Laser tattoo is a much better option. Even if you truly want to cover up a tattoo most good tattoo artists will advise you to have at least 1-3 sessions of laser tattoo removal to fade the tattoo first. Laser tattoo removal will give you a fresh start removing the tattoo completely over a series of sessions depending on the color of the tattoo. If you don't like your tattoo remove it-don't try to put on a bigger butterfly over an ugly butterfly-it never seems to work out.

Laser Tattoo Removal Gives Orlando residents a Second Chance

When you are walking down the street in Orlando chances are you don’t know who has tattoo and who doesn’t. This is because there are many “upscale” residents including businessmen, elected officials, physicians, attorneys, and Mothers who don’t want you to know they have a tattoo. While you may not know-Winter Park Laser does. We have been performing laser tattoo removal in Orlando for 3 years. Many people got tattoos when they were very young and it is now something they don’t feel represents them as a person or their image and they want to be positive role models for their children. It is not uncommon for a wealthy businessman dressed in a suit to come in and want a crazy fraternity symbol or dare to be removed from his body. Laser tattoo removal gives a second chance to make a good first impression especially for those trying to get a job in law enforcement or the government as they now require that tattoos not show in uniform. While there are many types of lasers the best is a Q-switched Yag laser-we prefer the Naturalase by Focus Lasers. This is the highest energy q-switched system in the world. Take advantage of four Q-switched wavelengths in one system. Tattoo ink is removed by using specific wavelengths of light which pass into the skin, and is absorbed by the ink. A given wavelength targets only a single color (or a group of nearby colors). For example, the red wavelength removes the green ink and the green wavelength removes the red ink. The rapid absorption of the light energy (shock wave) causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body’s natural filtering systems often referred to as the body’s lymphatic drainage system.
