How laser tattoo removal works:

Laser tattoo removal works by focusing laser energy to the pigment in your
tattoo.  Our
Affinity QS laser is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser used exclusively
for tattoo removal,  making it the very best laser to use for your procedure.

On Second Thought... Tattoo Removal can remove a wide range of colors
in tattoos and permanent makeup.  Our laser uses two separate
wavelengths of light to remove darker (black, purple, blue) and lighter (red,
green, orange) tattoo pigment.  The laser needs only a fraction of a
second to break down the pigment allowing your treatment to be completed
in only a short time.  Tattoo removal lasers do not penetrate the deeper
layers of skin, making scarring very rare and enabling quick healing.
An average tattoo takes 3 to 10 treatments to remove completely.  The
number of treatments depends on the age of the tattoo, age of the
patient,  color of ink, quality of ink, color of skin, individual immune system,
location of tattoo, and technique used to create the tattoo (professional
vs. homemade).
Types of tattoos we can remove:

As the leading expert in Springfield tattoo removal, we’ve helped patients with a very wide range of tattoos.  Here are a few examples
of tattoo removal that we can do:
Names: "On Second Thought...maybe writing your boyfriend's name in that
'forever' heart across your back, wasn't such a good idea."

Rings: "On Second Thought...maybe scrolling that keltic-knot around your
ring finger isn't exactly what your NEW husband wants to see on your
wedding night."

Designs: "On Second Thought...maybe putting that dolphin across my
stomach and watching it grow to a 'blue whale' after giving birth to my first
child, isn't going to look good at the neighborhood pool."
Large artwork: "On Second Thought...maybe having my fire breathing
dragon wrap around my forearm and wrist wasn't such a good idea for my
future in banking."
Minimal side effects           

Laser tattoo removal is the safest and easiest way to remove any unwanted tattoo.  With
today’s technology, we are able to precisely target the ink in your tattoo with minimal side
effects.  The laser energy gently passes through the outermost layer of skin until it reach
your tattoo’s pigment, and leaves the lower layers untouched.  The skin is very rarely
broken, so even pinpoint bleeding is uncommon. Our superior technology allows us to be
the leader in Springfield Missouri tattoo removal.

You may experience redness and some slight swelling in addition to blisters as the area
heals after your procedure.  For your comfort, during the procedure we use a high-tech
cooling system to numb the skin prior/during to the tattoo removal procedure.

Many patients are familiar with laser hair removal. Tattoo removal lasers do not need to
penetrate as deeply into the skin and procedures are less painful and much shorter in
duration.

everyone wasn't such a good idea."
