Laser Tattoo Removal…are you a candidate?

Louisville, KY Laser Tattoo Removal.

Not all skin types are candidates for laser tattoo removal. Darker complected patients may not be good candidates because the laser can bleach the skin. If you are considering laser tattoo removal please click this link and complete the Fitzpatrick Scale evaluation.

If you are skin type I-IV you are likely to be a good candidate for Louisville Tattoo Laser treatments.

Laser Lipo

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Liposuction is now being done with the aid of a laser. Louisville Liposuction has been traditionally performed using the superwet or tumescent technique. Now laser technology is being introduced.

The laser shoots out the end of the liposuction cannula. A typical cannula is a hollow metal tube that is 2 or 3 mm in diameter. The laser serves to help break down the fat and more importantly to heat up the tissue, including the skin, to produce better skin retraction and tightening.

The technology has been around for a few years so the jury is still out on its advantages vs traditional liposuction.
