Tattoos have been around for thousands of years... and people have been trying to remove them for just as long! Until recent laser technology became available, the only methods of tattoo removal were skin grafting, surgical removal, dermabrasion or CO2 lasers, all of which were horribly painful and left noticeable scars. The tattoo-removal method used at INK-B-GONE is the award-winning Medlite C6 laser, which is known in the industry as the “best of the best” and produces great results with minimal treatments. And our Certified Laser Specialists are best-of-class and received certification from the nation’s top accredited laser college.
