Dermacare`s Medlite C6 laser removes ink by generating a variety of light wavelengths that target different ink colors. The light passes into the skin and is absorbed by the ink, causing it to break into tiny particles, which can then be removed by the body's natural filtering systems.

Patients report a sensation similar to the snap of a small rubber band. Most patients don't require local anesthesia, however we provide anesthetic creams if needed.

Following a series of treatments, the tattoos appearance may fade more than 95 percent, often erasing it completely. Results vary depending on the type of ink used and the depth of its application.

Blue, black and red inks react most favorably to laser tattoo removal as do oranges and purples. Green and yellow inks are the most difficult to remove, additional treatments may be needed to produce significant fading.
