Laser Tattoo Removal Q & A

What is laser tattoo removal?

Laser tattoo removal at Rocky Mountain Spine & Sports Medicine uses advanced laser technology to target and remove tattoo pigment within your skin.

It spares surrounding skin damage and disperses blue, black, green, red, yellow, orange, and other ink pigments. Dr. Navarkal tailors each treatment to give you the best results.

What are the benefits of laser tattoo removal?

Some of the numerous benefits associated with laser tattoo removal at Rocky Mountain Spine & Sports Medicine include:


  • No surrounding skin damage
  • Tattoo ink elimination
  • No pain or downtime
  • Clearer, smoother skin
  • Enhanced collagen and elastin production
  • Younger-looking skin


Getting an undesirable tattoo removed can enhance your overall appearance, give you a boost of confidence, and improve your quality of life.

What happens during laser tattoo removal?

Prior to laser tattoo removal at Rocky Mountain Spine & Sports Medicine, Dr. Navarkal reviews your medical history, examines your skin, and discusses the desired outcome. If you’re a good candidate for the procedure, he offers topical anesthetic to make laser tattoo removal comfortable.

During laser treatment, you lie down on a comfortable chair in a relaxing room. Dr. Navarkal gives you special eye shields to protect your eyes from the laser’s light. He applies laser energy to targeted tissues using a handheld device. The length of time each procedure lasts depends on the size of your tattoo and the treatment area.

What should I expect after laser tattoo removal?

There’s no downtime after laser tattoo removal, so you can resume a normal routine right away. You might notice some swelling or redness at the treatment site, but it soon subsides. Apply ice packs to the area or take over-the-counter pain relievers if you’d like.

Make sure to protect your skin from the sun before and after each treatment. Dr. Navarkal often recommends multiple laser procedures to give you the best outcome and clear skin. Results from laser tattoo removal are permanent.

Don’t live with a tattoo that makes you feel self-conscious. Schedule a laser tattoo removal consultation with Dr. Navarkal at Rocky Mountain Spine & Sports Medicine over the phone or online today.
