What happens during the tattoo removal process?

Prior to your treatment, you will need to meet with Dr. Coverman in order to determine if you qualify for this procedure. Dr. Coverman will photograph the target area and discuss your tattoo removal options. Depending on various factors, Dr. Coverman may suggest more than one treatment session.

During a consultation, Austin, West Lake Hills, and Round Rock tattoo removal patients will learn that there is no guarantee that the tattoo will be fully removed; these days, some tattoos consist of "laser resistant ink." This means that many tattoos are impossible to treat.

After your surgical tattoo removal, you will be able to return to work but should refrain from strenuous physical activity. Though the treated area will be bandaged, it is an open wound that must be treated with care in order to attain optimal results and avoid infection.

Final results will highly depend on each patient's skin type and the tattoo itself. The tattoo will fade to a certain degree, if not completely. Dr. Coverman highly recommends at least two sessions. Be sure to view tattoo removal before and after photos to see previous patient results.
