The UltraLight-Q has been suited with an arsenal of light-based wavelength the that are specifically attracted to tattoo ink. In order to clear the ink from the skin, the laser system creates a collimated energy beam of light. The light will pass through the outer skin layers targeting only the embedded ink. Energy from the laser is rapidly absorbed by the ink causing the pigment to fracture into microscopic particles. Over time, the body’s immune system will clean the particles from the skin causing the tattoo to fade and eventually disappear.
Not all body art is created alike; many factors are involved that determine the number of treatments needed, such as:
Usually professional tattoos will need 6-8 treatments, while amateur tattoos take about 4-5 treatments. The sessions will be spaced 6-8 weeks apart, allowing the body’s immune system to naturally remove the pigment fragments.
Most patients report that the treatment sensation for removing a tattoo is similar to getting a tattoo. Other patients say the laser treatment feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. A numbing cream can be used to make the procedure more comfortable.
An anti-bacterial ointment and ice will need to be applied. If a scab forms, it is vital that the area is never picked or scratched in order to avoid scarring. For optimal results, follow any post treatment instructions given to you by the clinician.
Costs will vary depending on the type and size of the tattoo. Schedule a consultation today to start the process of removing the ink from your skin!

Thermo-Lo can treat epidermal skin imperfections including: Sun / Age Spots, Cherry Angiomas, Small Capillaries, Milia, Sebaceous Hyperplasia, Acne, Skin Tags and Unwanted Hair. Thermo-Lo ONLY treats the top layer of the skin (epidermis), leaving the lower layers (dermis) of the skin unaffected. Machines that utilize pulsed light treatments (Broadband / IPL / Laser) usually penetrate both the epidermis and the dermis layers of the skin, which in turn can cause temporary or permanent hypo/hyper pigmentation.
