FAQS

How does Surgical Tattoo Removal differ from laser removal?

Surgical tattoo removal involves physically cutting away the tattooed skin, providing a permanent solution by completely eliminating the ink. Laser removal fades the tattoo by heating and dissolving the ink, often requiring multiple sessions and potentially altering skin pigmentation.

What factors influence the success of Surgical Tattoo Removal?

The success of Surgical Tattoo Removal depends on factors such as tattoo size, location, and ink color. Darker colors may require more sessions, while larger tattoos may necessitate serial excision or tissue stretching techniques.

Are the results of Surgical Tattoo Removal permanent?

Yes, Surgical Tattoo Removal offers permanent results by physically removing the ink-stained skin. Dr. Kaweski’s meticulous techniques aim to exchange the body ink for a small, inconspicuous scar, ensuring lasting outcomes without additional future procedures.

What is serial excision, and when is it used for tattoo removal?

Serial excision is employed when a tattoo is too large to be removed in one session. Dr. Kaweski performs multiple excisions, gradually removing the tattooed skin over several sessions. This approach minimizes scarring and ensures comprehensive tattoo removal.

How many treatment sessions are required for Surgical Tattoo Removal?

The number of treatment sessions needed for complete tattoo removal varies depending on factors such as tattoo size, ink color, and individual healing response. While some patients achieve satisfactory results after one session, others may require multiple sessions to eliminate the tattoo and achieve the desired outcomes.
