Laser tattoo removal is considered the gold standard for the removal of unwanted tattoos and most tattoos can now be successfully removed with the latest laser technology. Whether your tattoo happens to be a (former) loved one’s name, the product of an ill-conceived night on the town, or something else, most tattoos are removable with the help of an experienced laser surgeon. The process of laser tattoo removal usually involves a number of treatment sessions to completely remove the tattoo. Some tattoos need more treatments than others and its necessary to schedule a consultation to discuss your tattoo and what may be needed to remove it.

Removing an unwanted tattoo is serious and requires an experienced physician. Tattoo removal patients are generally quite pleased with the results of their procedure but it’s important to have a consultation to understand what to expect. Each tattoo is unique and it’s impossible to know how many treatments or what the cost to remove the tattoo will be without seeing it in person. Call today to schedule a consultation to review your tattoo and discuss the laser tattoo removal process, possible cost, and other factors.

Average Waiting Time
First of all, I was really impressed with Dr. Pilest's web site. I learned some very important points even before seeing him. Second, his consultation with me was very complete. After 3 children and a body I want to hide, I was dreading baring my belly. But, he made me immediately comfortable and explained not only WHY I had stretch marks, but the difference in the old ones and the new ones, what I'd have to do to prepare for laser treatments since I've got some dark skin ancestry (no one ever asked me about that before or explained why it was important!) We're tackling the red marks first with Vmax laser and I've seen some very obvious improvements after just a couple of sessions. Later we'll get into the white marks with Fraxel. I know what to expect (apparently no miracles here) but I appreciate the candid assessment. It's nice to know the limitations. The nursing staff is the best. Joanne spent plenty of time reassuring me, re-explaining the process and generally being a professional hand holder. I feel very confident and comfortable with Dr. Pilest.
