Got a Tattoo That Needs to Be Gone?

Tattoo removal in Pittsburgh can be accomplished at Acqua Blu Medical Spa.  Body art has been all the rage in some circles but sometimes individuals have ink on their bodies that doesn’t suit them anymore.  As people go through various life stages, certain symbols and adornments that were perfect for one era might not work for their current lifestyle. Examples are words, names or images reminiscent of a past love or obsession. Someone in awe of a specific rock band might tattoo flaming guitars or skulls on their shoulder. While this might be cool and attractive when a person is in his or her twenties, a decade later this look might not work for job interviews or PTA meetings. If a woman tattoos “John” on her arm but ends up marrying “Harold,” she will likely want to get the inked name removed. Luckily, there are effective methods for erasure.

At Acqua Blue Medical Spa, a MedLite c6 laser has been found to be a highly effective removal device. The MedLite laser has surpassed other processes and is now considered as the “gold standard.” In the medical world, “gold standard” labels refer to highly respected and top-of-the-line procedures. This tool is able to address a multitude of colored inks such as blue, green, browns and blacks. The laser disintegrates the lines within the image without injuring the skin and underlying tissue.

After lasering, a patient will need to take precautions during the healing process. Applying antibacterial topical ointments and giving the site TLC as far as not touching or scratching will allow the area to heal more quickly.
