HOW LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORKS IN CHICAGO
So glad you asked! Laser Tattoo Removal in Chicago, IL is a quick and effective process. Our advanced lasers use light and heat to target and break up the tattoo pigment, leaving the surrounding skin untouched—this technique is known as selective photothermolysis.
Laser Tattoo Removal works by focusing on the pigment deep in the dermis, the second layer of your skin. The tattoo pigments absorb the laser’s light energy, causing them to break into small fragments. These fragments are then naturally absorbed and eliminated by your body.
At our Chicago – River North clinic, we use cutting-edge dual-wavelength Q-switch lasers, which emit highly focused light pulses. These lasers are powerful and precise, allowing for immediate pigment fragmentation, while the surrounding tissue remains unharmed.
With 18+ years of experience in Laser Tattoo Removal, we've perfected the art of ink removal in Chicago. Our advanced technology and proven techniques ensure you're in the best hands every step of the way.
In Chicago, our clinics are supervised by board-certified dermatologists, and treatments are performed by skilled registered nurses, physician associates, and nurse practitioners trained through one of the most comprehensive programs available.
Let’s get rid of that unwanted tattoo. Book your consultation with the top experts in Chicago now!
