Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Much Does Tattoo Removal Cost?
Cost for Tattoo Removal
Apr 11, 2017
The cost is based on the size and the number of colors in the tattoo (as we may have to use 2 or 3 different machines at each visit to get the most possible color out). This usually runs about $50 per square inch per treatment session. Remember, multiple visits spread out over months, are required to remove most tattoos.

Laser Tattoo Removal Scar

This allows us to remove most tattoos in half the time of the previous technology. We use a unique combination of Q switched, Pico, and fractional lasers, used in a special sequence to get the optimal response.
The laser breaks up the ink particles, but it's...
What Tattoo Ink Colors Are Easiest to Remove?
Every Color in the Rainbow Can Be Removed! :)
Apr 11, 2017
Hello,
Any color can be removed, but colors such as yellow, pink, bright sky blue and bright kelly green takesomewhat longer to respond. We have been performing Laser Tattoo Removal since 1978 and have more experience in this area than virtually anyone else performing these procedures. Using the wrong tools, lasers, light sources or chemical peels can make successful tattoo removal very difficult, sometimes impossible without leaving a scar. This is why it is so...
How Long Does Botox Last?
3-4 Months Usually
Apr 11, 2017
Hello,
Botox usually lasts around 12-16 weeks. The loss of the Botox effect depends primarily on internal issues (the effectiveness of your immune system with specific regard to this specific chemical substance) rather than any other issues that you have control over. Hope this helps!

Can You Exercise After Botox or Will It Decrease the Results?
Not Advisable to Exercise After Botox
Apr 11, 2017
Dear cory in chi town,
Since the Botox needs to be absorbed into the muscle after the injection, and since this takes about 3-4 hours, it's advisable not to spend a lot of time bending over with you head down, or exercising after your Botox injections, as this may cause the Botox to shift to the wrong area and create undesirable muscle weakness. Hope this helped!

Laser Hair Removal Side Effects and Risks?
Expect a Few Side Effects
Apr 11, 2017
Hello,
The pigmentation or scarring of the skin is related to the activity of the color producing cells. Since all lasers use a form of localized heating to destroy the hair follicle (the portion that forms the new hairs) heating of the color cells is inevitable. Most patients will see some form of hyperpigmentation after treatment, but the use of the correct laser with the correct settings is important, as well as not treating tanned skin. Bleaching agents...
What's the Best Laser Hair Removal Machine?
There's Something for Everyone
Apr 11, 2017
Hello,
Thank you for asking this question because you're right, there are several options right now for patients to choose from. As practitioners, it is important to choose the best tool for each patient, skin color and location of hair, and thus, these choices must be made on an individual basis. It is for this reason
that we have 5 or 6 different lasers and light sources to choose from for every patient's needs.
Make sure to go to a reputable medical office with trained and...
