Why Have A Dermatologist Remove That Tattoo?
Dermatology is the study of the skin and all conditions that affect your skin, hair and nails. A dermatologist is a trained professional that understands how tattoos color and affect the skin over time and will take several things into consideration before giving you the options available for removing that tattoo.
Some of the things that will need to be considered when removing a tattoo is the location of the tattoo. A tattoo on your face where scaring could be quite visible and embarrassing may require a different removal option than one on your shoulder or hip. You also need to consider just how deep into your skin the tattoo ink is. The longer you've had your tattoo the deeper it may have gone into your skin layers and may need more treatments to remove it completely or it may not even be possible to remove it entirely without the necessity for surgery.
Your dermatologist also knows that some colored inks are more difficult to remove than others and will also take into considerations the outcome you desire and the cost of the removal procedure. Once he has spoken to you and examined the tattoo he can discuss with you the options that are available, explain the benefits and the handicaps of each option and help you to make an informed decision based on your needs and desires.
Once you know your options and have reached a decision then an appointment will be made to begin treatment. While some tattoo removals may only take one or two treatments others may have to include surgery in order to produce the desired out come. Your dermatologist is skilled at performing all the tasks needed to complete the removal and will also discuss with you the after care that may be needed if healing is involved.
Choosing a skilled professional in dermatology can give you the best results possible and will give you confidence in the removal option you have chosen.
