Laser Tattoo Removal in Denver, CO

You may have many reasons why you no longer want a tattoo. Perhaps it reminds you of a painful memory? Maybe the ink has faded over time, or it just doesn't represent who you are. Whatever the reason, breakthroughs in tattoo removal technology have helped make it possible to lighten and maybe even completely remove the unwanted tattoo. At Mountain Med Spa in Denver, CO, Dr. Rock Navarkal performs tattoo removal with the Harmony XL Pro laser system. Compared to other tattoo removal technologies, laser treatments tend to provide better results and might require fewer sessions.

Laser tattoo removal in Denver, CO at Mountain Med Spa using the advanced Harmony XL Pro laser can help you erase the past and achieve clearer skin with a number of great benefits, including:

• Uses an innovative highly-effective photo-acoustic effect to remove ink
• Treats tattoos anywhere on the body
• Works for tattoos of any size
• Achieves effective results for the widest range of colors
• Does not cause scarring
• Requires fewer treatments than other systems
• Clears skin if you want new ink
• Recovery time is minimal
• Creates a sense of relief and renewal

When it comes to laser tattoo removal treatments, our group will assess your skin, medical history, and tattoo to determine if this procedure is right for you. Ideal candidates for this procedure:

• Have strong immune systems. A strong immune system helps the body’s ability to break down and eliminate the ink.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Smoking and eating an unhealthy diet limit the body's immune system and prevent it from working at full capacity.
• Have a strong contrast between the ink color and the pigment of the skin. The greater the contrast, the greater the result.
• Have tattoos that are several years old. The older a tattoo is, the better it will respond to treatment.

In a private treatment room, we will start by cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream. Once your skin is ready, Dr. Navarkal will move the device over the surface of the treatment area while it releases pulsing laser light and energy. At the end of each session, we apply a topical cream and bandages to the skin so the treatment area remains protected. You may experience swelling, redness, and sensitivity. Afterward, the treated area may feel like you have a sunburn, and you could experience some scabbing. To improve the recovery process, we highly recommend following all aftercare instructions. Once the skin has healed, we can schedule your next treatment session. Dr. Navarkal recommends scheduling sessions 4 – 7 weeks apart.

How many laser tattoo removal sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed will depend on the color, size, and age of your tattoo, along with your tattoo removal goals. Most patients will need multiple sessions to achieve the results they want.
