Laser Tattoo Removal
The Candela V-Beam removes spider veins without bruising or excessive down time. The laser light targets the red blood in the superficial veins which causes blood flow to cease. Your body will then naturally absorb the rest of the unwanted vein without any damage to the surrounding skin. Most of our patients return to normal activities almost immediately.
Laser tattoo removal works by producing short pulses of intense light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin and then are selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigment. This laser energy causes the tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller particles which are then removed by the body’s own immune system; selectively targeting the pigment of the tattoo without damaging surrounding skin. However, patients with darker skin types may need pre-treatment with bleaching cream. Direct sun exposure should be avoided before and after the laser treatment. This laser can also be used for the removal of brown spots and pigmented birthmarks.
