How Tattoo Removal Works
We use short bursts of laser light to break apart the ink in unwanted tattoos.
If you have a tattoo you want to eliminate, come to our clinic. At The Skin Clinic, we prefer the Alma Harmony for tattoo removal in Mankato, MN. Our preferred device for tattoo removal in Mankato, MN, is the Alma Harmony, a Q-switched laser device. “Q-switched” means that the laser delivers energy in short pulses for enhanced effect.
The pulsed laser targets the ink pigment that lies deep in the skin, breaking it up into small particles, so your skin can absorb and flush it out more easily. This process eliminates unwanted tattoos, but since the laser targets only the ink pigment, it also protects surrounding skin from damage.
What to Expect
On the day of your tattoo removal in Mankato, MN, we’ll check you in and get you comfortable in a treatment chair. Then, we’ll perform the laser tattoo removal procedure, passing the laser over your tattoo, treating it with short, steady pulses. The entire treatment should only take about a few minutes, and then you’ll be free to go.
After your treatment is complete, you will notice an immediate change in the color and intensity of your tattoo. You will need multiple sessions before the tattoo completely disappears. Your provider will help you schedule your next treatment.
Laser Hair Removal for Men
Laser hair removal in Mankato isn’t just for women. Men also use laser hair removal to achieve a well-groomed appearance in areas like the chest, back, and face. This treatment helps manage ingrown hairs, reduces the hassle of frequent shaving, and enhances muscle definition. It’s a long-term solution for unwanted hair and enhanced confidence.
