Experience safe, effective tattoo removal with advanced laser technology at Care Nashville in Brentwood, Tennessee. Our state-of-the-art laser tattoo removal system delivers superior results, fading or completely removing unwanted tattoos with minimal scarring for patients throughout the Nashville metro area seeking professional tattoo removal solutions.
Laser tattoo removal is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses powerful, targeted laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin's surface. This FDA-cleared treatment safely and effectively removes unwanted tattoos by fragmenting ink pigments into smaller particles that your body's immune system can naturally eliminate over time, allowing for gradual fading and eventual complete removal of unwanted body art.
Our advanced laser tattoo removal system provides superior results through sophisticated technology:
Selective Photothermolysis: The laser delivers specific wavelengths of light that target tattoo ink particles while leaving surrounding skin tissue unharmed.
Ink Fragmentation: The intense laser energy breaks down large ink particles into smaller fragments that your body's lymphatic system can naturally process and eliminate.
Multi-Wavelength Technology: Our advanced laser system uses multiple wavelengths to effectively target different ink colors, ensuring comprehensive tattoo removal across all pigment types.
Gradual Elimination: Over the weeks following each treatment, your body's immune system naturally removes the fragmented ink particles, resulting in progressive tattoo fading.
Our laser tattoo removal technology provides optimal results through advanced features:
Multiple Wavelength Capability: Different wavelengths effectively target various ink colors including black, blue, green, red, and multicolor tattoos.
Precise Energy Delivery: Adjustable settings allow for customized treatment based on tattoo characteristics, skin type, and location.
Minimal Skin Damage: The rapid pulse duration (nanoseconds) ensures ink is targeted without excessive heat damage to surrounding tissue.
FDA-Cleared Technology: Our laser system meets the highest safety and effectiveness standards for tattoo removal treatments.
Our advanced system effectively removes multiple tattoo ink colors:
Dark Inks (Black, Dark Blue): Most responsive to laser treatment, typically requiring fewer sessions for complete removal.

Complete or Significant Fading: Most tattoos can be completely removed or significantly faded to allow for cover-up artwork.
Minimal Scarring: Advanced laser technology minimizes tissue damage, resulting in little to no scarring when proper aftercare is followed.
Precise Targeting: The laser specifically targets ink particles without damaging surrounding skin, ensuring optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Natural Elimination: Your body's immune system naturally removes fragmented ink, providing gradual, natural-looking fading.

Skin Preparation: The tattoo area is thoroughly cleaned, and protective eyewear is provided for both patient and practitioner safety.
Topical Anesthesia: Numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort during treatment, though many patients tolerate the procedure well without anesthesia.
Laser Application: The laser handpiece is systematically passed over the tattoo, delivering precise pulses of light energy to fragment ink particles.
Post-Treatment Care: The treated area is cooled, and antibacterial ointment and protective dressing are applied to promote healing.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin or hot grease splatter. While some discomfort is normal, it's generally well-tolerated and brief. Topical numbing agents and cooling devices enhance comfort during treatment.

Medium-Sized Tattoos: Typically need 6-10 sessions depending on ink density and colors.
