Posted on Aug 13, 2019 Devices and Procedures, Laser Tattoo Removal


Tattoos are becoming more commonplace, and as their popularity grows so does the demand for tattoo removal. Dr. Paul M Friedman, a board-certified dermatologist, the director of Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center in Houston, and a spokesman for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, was recently consulted about the tattoo removal process for an article that was distributed by the Associated Press and has been featured in the Washington Times, Yahoo News, and more.

How Common is Tattoo Removal?

It is easier than ever to get a tattoo, which means there are also more opportunities for people to end up with skin art that they regret. Dr. Friedman states that “nearly 3 in 10 U.S. adults have one or more tattoos and 25% want them removed.” He has noticed a particular increase in tattoo removal patients from the millennial generation, but tattoos and laser tattoo removal are popular across several demographics. The article includes a first-person account from one of Dr. Friedman’s tattoo removal patients, a 39-year-old firefighter from Texas.

What Options Are Available for Tattoo Removal?

There are several options available for tattoo removal. Dr. Friedman uses a highly advanced Picosecond Laser which has many advantages over older tattoo removal methods. Whatever method you choose, the article recommends finding a board-certified dermatologist with specific training and experience in tattoo removal. Dr. Friedman’s advice to patients seeking tattoo removal is to be patient – tattoo removal typically takes several sessions and spacing out your appointments can give you the best results.
