Dermatology Associates of Atlanta is located in North Central Atlanta near the intersection of Georgia 400 and I-285 (the Perimeter) Our physicians utilize their own Q-Switched Ruby and Neodynium YAG lasers, with three wavelengths, to break up tattoo pigments into smaller particles which are removed by the body. Treatment is gentle like a rubber band snap with most patients not requiring anesthesia. The risk of scarring with this technology is much lower than with older methods.

Tattoo regret is very common. What was once a symbol of your self-expression has now become a burden...or worse still an embarrassment.
What are your options?
Laser Tattoo Removal is the by far most common method of getting rid of an unwanted tattoo. These treatments are |
relatively inexpensive, and less painful than older methods. Multiple treatments are usually required.
Other methods which have significant drawbacks and are rarely used since the advent of laser tattoo removal include:
- Tattoo Removal Creams which are largely ineffective.
- Dermabrasion or "sanding" the skin, which leaves scars.
- Surgical Excision or "cutting out" the tattoo, which requires stitches or even skin grafts to close the resulting wound.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser Tattoo Removal uses directed energy to target the ink within the tattoo. The heat generated by the laser explodes the ink particles underneath your skin. These particles are then removed by the body's natural waste processes.
While most tattoos will appear significantly lighter after one treatment, several visits are usually required to completely remove your tattoo. Tattoos fade after each visit as the body breaks down and removes the ink.
Color makes a difference.
Some ink colors are more difficult to remove than others. Black, red, dark orange and dark blue tattoos are the easiest to remove. Green, purple, brown, light orange and light blue colors may require more visits. Yellow and green are the hardest colors to remove.
Lighter skin tones are easier to remove tattoos from than darker skin. Avoid tanning before laser tattoo removal.
How should you choose a Tattoo Removal provider?
- Experience - How many tattoos have they removed like yours? Do doctors perform the treatments?
- Location - Since it often requires multiple treatments you might want someone close to you.
- Price - Again multiple treatments will magnify price differences.
- Equipment - Do they have the newest laser? Do they have several different special purpose lasers? Older lasers often scar more than lasers using newer technology. Some lasers
