Can Laser Tattoo Removal Be Used on Any Type of Tattoo?

While tattoos may seem like a good idea in the youthful years, many patients regret having these tattoos completed as they enter into their adult years. Perhaps the location of their tattoo keeps them from the career they want, or maybe the tattoo is a trigger for a memory of the past that a patient wants to move on from. Whatever the reason, tattoos don’t have to be permanent. With the help of Remington Laser Dermatology Centre, patients can achieve ink-free skin with laser tattoo removal.

How laser tattoo removal works

Laser tattoo removal works on the skin by breaking up the pigmentation of the ink and allowing the body to natural absorb and flush it through the body’s lymphatic system. When this happens, the tattoo will slowly begin to fade over time until it is no longer visible. To achieve this, patients need to undergo several treatment sessions.

Whether your tattoo is large or small, dark or light, or old or new, our laser device can assist. There are certain characteristics of a tattoo that may make it more difficult to remove, and therefore require more treatment session. Many factors need to be considered when determining how many treatments are needed, including:

The age of the tattoo
The quality of the inks used
The colors of the inks used
The area of the body
The size of the tattoo

During an initial evaluation appointment with Drs. Todd and Kent Remington, patients can voice their concerns and ask questions about the procedure. Our team can also give an idea to the patient as to how many treatment sessions are required to achieve the results they desire.

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Remington Laser has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was referred by my family doctor, I knew I was in good hands. My initial apprehension about my daughter’s ear damage was quickly dispelled when we met Dr. Remington and his team. Dr. Remington’s transparency and honest approach stood out to me as a leader and innovator. Thanks to his laser techniques, my daughter’s ear damage was repaired painlessly, and she can now wear earrings without any issue. No one would ever know that at one stage she had a tear and I worried she would never be able to wear earrings again.

I first met Dr. Kent Remington after several other doctors were unable to resolve my medical issue. When I arrived at Remington Laser, Dr. R and Pam took their time to understand the problem and my health history. Dr. R never gave up and, with constant kindness and expertise, he resolved the issue that others could not. That was 7 years ago. Since that time, I have had cosmetic procedures with Dr. R and Pam. They provide excellent advice and solutions and only use the best quality “tools and equipment” in their practice. Combined with their unparalleled skills and ability to find the right solution for me, they keep me feeling my very best. There is always a warm welcome from the entire team from the moment I arrive at the front desk. My heartfelt thanks to all at Remington Laser from your grateful and happy patient.

Dr. Kent Remington and Nurse Pam have been so positive with their guidance in my dermatological cosmetic journey so far. My last visit was life-changing, and I feel blessed to have these wonderful professionals in my life. I am over the moon with how I look. Thank you both for your expertise and personable approach!!!
