Tattoo Removal

A procedure that removes permanent ink from the skin’s surface.

What is it?

Eliminating tattoos is a intricate procedure that might require numerous sessions to fully erase the tattoo(s). This is because the pigment permeates under the surface of your skin. The success of the procedure heavily relies on the expertise of the person performing the tattoo elimination. This is why the American Academy of Dermatology advises seeking advice from a board-certified dermatologist, like the practitioners at Buckeye Dermatology.

Tattoo removal is typically an outpatient process that, if desired by the patient, utilizes a local numbing agent to alleviate pain and discomfort. Smaller, older tattoos that are black, brown, dark blue, and green are simpler to remove. Larger, newer tattoos that utilize more vibrant pigments are more difficult to remove.

Our skilled dermatologists perform this treatment at their offices in Springfield, Grove City, and Dublin, Ohio.

What to expect

There are numerous methods for eliminating tattoos, with laser tattoo removal being the most prevalent. The laser generates intense pulses of light and employs specific light wavelengths to target the tattoo. This process fragments the ink into minuscule particles that your body will eventually absorb and dispose of. To safely and effectively erase your tattoo, you will require several sessions spread out over time. Since the ink is applied in layers during the tattooing process, each layer needs gradual breakdown and removal by your body after each laser session. After treatment, you may notice temporary redness, swelling, and minor blistering. You can anticipate progressive fading of the tattoo after each session.
