What is Tattoo Removal?

A tattoo used to be a permanent and irreversible adornment to your skin. However, in recent years dermatologic surgeons in Texas and across the United States have developed safe and effective techniques to successfully remove unwanted tattoos. Tattoo removal in Spring can be used on professional and homemade tattoos of all sizes and colors.

Am I a Good Candidate for Tattoo Removal in Spring?

Patients in Spring request tattoo removal s for a variety of reasons — social, cultural and physical. Some patients develop an allergic reaction to a tattoo several years after the initial application. Because each tattoo is unique, Spring tattoo removal techniques must be tailored to suit each individual case.

The tattoo removal specialists at Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre will give you a thorough evaluation and help you determine if the procedure can work for you. Our services have assisted patients in Spring, The Woodlands and other Houston-area locations.

What is the Process for Tattoo Removal in Spring?

Tattoos can be removed by a dermatologic surgeon on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. The most common techniques used in Spring tattoo removal are:

Laser Surgery — The surgeon removes the tattoo by selectively treating the pigment colors with a high-intensity laser beam. Lasers have become the standard treatment because they offer a "bloodless," low-risk, highly effective approach to tattoo removal in Spring. There are also minimal side effects. The type of laser used generally depends upon the pigment colors. In many cases, multiple Spring tattoo removal treatments may be required.

Dermabrasion — The Spring tattoo removal surgeon "sands" the skin, sloughing off the surface and middle layers of the tattoo. The combination of surgical and dressing techniques helps to raise and absorb the tattoo inks.

Surgical Excision — The surgeon removes the tattoo with a scalpel and closes the wound with stitches. This Spring tattoo removal technique can be highly effective and allows the surgeon to excise inked areas with great control.
