Dermabrasion

Looking for a doctor that uses Dermabrasion for tattoo removal. I’ve had 4 treatments on a half sleeve with a pico laser and don’t want to spend the next 2 years getting treatments. Looking for an old school doc to get this thing off.

Procedure: Tattoo Removal

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Difficult to recommend without knowing your full history but typically laser treatments, such as with a pico laser, offers the best results at tattoo removal versus dermabrasion.

Agree with Dr. Castillo. Laser treatment would be expected to give a result far superior to dermabrasion. The only advantage to dermabrasion might be the costs would be significantly less. This reflects the minimal cost for purchasing dermabrasion equipment versus the high cost of owning a premium state-of-the-art tattoo removal laser such as the picolaser. Best wishes
