Laser Tattoo Removal
State-of-the-art Q-switched laser technology
Overview
Kassir Dermatology offers one of the most effective tattoo removal programs in Dallas using state-of-the-art Q-switched laser systems. These advanced lasers deliver ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter tattoo ink into microscopic particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body — leaving behind clear, healthy skin.
How It Works
Q-switched lasers produce extremely short, high-intensity pulses that are selectively absorbed by tattoo ink particles. The rapid energy absorption causes the ink to shatter into tiny fragments that the immune system can remove. Different wavelengths target different ink colors — the 1064nm wavelength targets dark inks, while 532nm targets red and orange pigments.
Am I a Candidate?
Most patients with unwanted tattoos are candidates for laser removal. Older, faded tattoos typically respond faster than newer, darker ones. A consultation is required to assess the tattoo's colors, depth, and your skin type.
What to Expect
The number of sessions required varies widely based on tattoo size, color, age, and ink density — typically 6–12 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Significant fading is expected with each session. Complete removal is achievable for many patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most tattoos require 6–12 sessions for significant fading or complete removal. Amateur tattoos with less ink typically respond faster than professional ones.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
The sensation is often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment for comfort.
