Tattoo removal has been performed with various tools since the start of tattooing. While tattoos are considered permanent, it's most common to remove them with lasers.

Tattoo Removal & Lightening for Men

Let's face it... every once in a while you need a change. Like that tattoo of the rose with your ex's name in it. It is now possible to remove tattoos without surgery using Laser Tattoo Removal.


Caddell's Laser Clinic has been performing Laser Tattoo Removal sinces 2002 and are experts in our field. Caddell's is trusted by tattoo studios and tattoo artists themselves. When they want a tattoo removed or lightened so they can add another piece of art to their skin, tattoo artists recommend Caddell's Laser Clinic.


During laser tattoo removal, the laser is used to selectively target and destroy the tattoo without damaging the surrounding tissue. 

Lasers have differing wavelengths, and different laser wavelengths are absorbed by specific colors, allowing the technicians to choose the precise combination of wavelengths for the depth and color of a particular tattoo as well as for multi-colored tattoos. Quite often, with enough treatments, the skin looks like it did before the tattoo was put on. And with our current laser there is no change in skin texture.

Tattoo Lightening for Men

At times you may want to replace an old tattoo that no longer represents who you are. You want to "cover" over your old tattoo with a new one. Some old tattoos are just too dark for an artist to ink over with good results. The result may not be what is intended, so to avoid a problem like this, laser tattoo treatments may just be the answer because it can significantly help in the transition process so that the new art has a better place to stand out. More and more tattoo artists are recommending laser treatments prior to getting a cover because they know the final result will be better.

Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal

During laser tattoo removal, the laser is used to selectively target and destroy the tattoo with no damage to the surrounding tissue. Because of the different wavelengths, pulse duration and how laser wavelengths are absorbed by different colors, the esthetician can choose the precise combination of wavelengths for the depth and color of a particular tattoo. The lasers at Caddell's used for tattoo removal do not cause scar tissue, these lasers to not compromise the skin. 

Tattoo Removal Procedure

Before

Before beginning Laser Tattoo Removal, make sure that you don't have a tan or a spray tan. The laser is attracted  to color, and we want all of the energy to go to attacking the ink.

During

During Laser Tattoo Removal you'll feel intense emissions of light penetrate the tattooed area. You'll hear noise as the laser does its work, both from the machine itself and from the fans that operate continuously. The laser is attracted to the  tattoo ink, and it shatters the ink into tiny crystals. The tattoo will then form a scab, and a lot of ink will come off with the scab. Some ink will also be absorbed into the lymphatic system.

After

To prevent infection, it is very important to keep the tattoo covered and coated with an antibiotic for approximately 3 days after the treatment. It is normal for the tattoo to get pin point bleeding and then light scabs, and blisters are normal for colored ink. Be sure to review the post care form or call your esthetician if you have any questions or concerns.

How Many Treatments Does it Take?

We cannot predict how many treatments will be needed to remove your tattoo.  There are several variables that determine how many treatments it takes.  The brand of ink is very important. Some inks lift very quickly while other inks are very resistant.  The older the tattoo, the easier it is to lift.  Shading comes out much faster than linework. Tribal tattoos are the most difficult to remove.

Is the Procedure Painful?

You should expect pain during the treatment. This is most often described as a the feeling of hot bacon grease spattered on your skin.  A numbing cream applied to the skin can be used to minimize pain.

How Much Does it Cost?

The cost for Laser Tattoo Removal at Caddell's is based on the size of the tattoo and treatment cost may be reduced as treatments continue. Medical insurance generally doesn't pay for tattoo removal, since it is considered aesthetic or cosmetic in nature.

What should I expect after the procedure?

The area may be red, as if mildly sunburned, for a couple of days. The area may be treated with an antibiotic ointment and a bandage applied.
People heal from tattoo removal or lightening one of three ways:

1. They experience flaky skin (most common).
2. Blisters may form on larger tattoo removals.
3. No visible response.
Recovery times depend on the extent of the treatment and the individual's capacity to heal. Redness and sensitivity may continue for several days. You should avoid exposing the treated area to the sun, as this may retard healing.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

While I just recently started my tattoo removal process, I am fully confident and comfortable with Debbie Caddell’s professionalism, empathy and abilities. Having a not so great tattoo experience led me to seek laser removal, and I am so happy Debbie is the one performing the procedure. Getting tattoos removed by laser doesn’t go without pain, but Debbie makes each session a little easier with her consideration and understanding of the clients’ needs and wants. Not only is she friendly and professional, but she also is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She answers my questions fully and also provides additional information that makes me feel far more content with the process. I would recommend Debbie and her staff to all who are seeking these specific services. They will make a possibly frightening experience into a positive one. 

- ER

It is MUCH easier to do work over a tattoo that has been lightened. I have had laser treatments myself done at Caddell's Laser Clinic, and I know I can trust their work. They are very professional and definitely knows their stuff. I refer to them all of my clients who are needing laser tattoo work done, including other artists that work in my shop. We are all very pleased with the outcomes.
