Career change? Made a mistake? Multi-color? Marvelous results!

Experts estimate that approximately 10 million Americans have at least one tattoo. Of those 10 million people, at least half later regret it and want them removed! Tattoo removal is often prompted by a change in lifestyle, personal taste or career.

For the past 3 decades, tattoo removal was done using unsophisticated surgery techniques, all of which could leave individuals with scarring. However, with the recent advances in medical technology, laser therapy has become the gold standard for removal of tattoos.

VanderVeer Center has the most advanced laser on the market—the AlexTriVantage by Candela. It treats a broader range of tattoo colors than any other system available today. Current medical technology allows for effective tattoo removal with less chance of scarring and no need for surgery.

Before and After Pictures

How does it work?

The AlexTriVantage targets tattoo ink with bursts of laser light that penetrate the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. This laser light is then absorbed by the tattoo ink and causes the pigment of the tattoo to deteriorate. The ink is gradually removed by the immune system after each treatment in stages. Scarring is relatively rare, no surgical procedures are involved, and the risk of infection is low provided the treatment site is properly cared for after each treatment session.

The AlexTriVantage also works wonders on benign pigmented lesions and brown spots, scars, freckles, sun and age spots and birthmarks. It is safe for children and adults and can be applied to all skin types.
