Interestingly, much of cosmetic dermatology involves not adding something to the skin but removing something the patient is unhappy with. Tattoos, however, are a unique situation. They’re a decision that’s intended to last forever, but much can change over the course of a decade or two to make you stop enjoying your body art. Some patients simply want to have their tattoo modified or replaced with an updated design. In any case, laser tattoo removal is a medically proven way to fade away your ink safely and effectively. If you’re considering this popular laser treatment, here are some fun and helpful facts you may enjoy from our laser tattoo removal experts at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta (DAA).

If you’re planning laser tattoo removal, remember that it is a true medical procedure, so safety should be the most important factor in deciding on a facility and a provider. Be sure to look for a qualified medical professional like a board-certified dermatologist or physician assistant with extensive experience in laser tattoo removal. At DAA, not only are our providers highly experienced in the procedure, but we also use the latest and most advanced tattoo removal lasers, PicoWay and PicoSure, to make each treatment as safe and effective as possible.
