TATTOO & MICROBLADING
REMOVAL
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Step 1
Targeting Ink Pigments
Our advanced lasers precisely target the ink pigments in your skin during a laser tattoo removal session
Step 2
Breaking Down Ink Particles
The laser energy breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments.
Step 3
Natural Elimination
These smaller ink fragments are naturally eliminated by your body's immune system over time, resulting in the gradual fading of your tattoo with each treatment session until it's virtually gone.
F A Q
-
Don’t I need sweat glands?While your body does need sweat glands to cool itself, your body has 2-4 million sweat glands and only about 2% are found in your underarms.2Eliminating 2% of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. After miraDry, you will experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the underarm area, but you will continue to sweat normally in other areas of your body.

What is the procedure like?Most patients describe the procedure as painless with little downtime. Local anesthesia is administered to the underarms prior to the treatment to assist in increasing comfort.
