Laser Tattoo Removal

Service Description

Tattoos are designed to be permanent because the ink is embedded deep within the skin layers. When a tattoo is created, ink is injected into various depths of the skin using a needle. Laser tattoo removal works similarly to other aesthetic laser treatments: by carefully heating the deeper layers of the skin to break down the ink. Our advanced Spectra system is faster and more effective than older laser technologies, allowing it to target multiple skin layers at once—making it more efficient than many other providers in the greater Portland, ME area. Since the laser can only address the surface layers of the ink initially, multiple sessions are typically needed to fully break down the tattoo. The body then clears away these broken-down particles, giving the laser access to the deeper layers. Thanks to the power of the Lutronic Spectra system, we can treat more ink layers at once compared to older methods. Darker, more heavily inked tattoos may require more treatments for complete removal, while lighter or shaded tattoos may take fewer sessions.
