Tattoo Removal & Skin Tightening – Latest Treatments discussed by Dr Lycka & Dr Katz

Tattoo removal has seen a great leap forward with the introduction of a new tattoo removal laser using pico second technology. And another area of skin care that is benefitting from new laser devices, as well as radio frequency and ultrasound devices, is that of skin tightening.

To explain & review the latest devices and techniques for tattoo removal and skin tightening, host of Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today, Edmonton Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka welcomes back Dr Bruce Katz, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York.

In this in-depth interview, Dr Katz begins by explaining how the new PicoSure ™ tattoo removal laser actually works. He describes the technology and the benefit the new laser has for people who want a tattoo removing, particularly the speed of treatment, the reduced numbers of treatments required and the increased range of colors the laser can remove. Dr Lycka & Dr Katz share stories around tattoos, why people get them and why they want them removed, and discuss charitable organisations they work with to help people such as ex-inmates, ex-gang members and victims of the sex trade to have tattoos removed as part of a way of getting back into society & employment again.
The two doctors then move onto the problem of skin tightening, and review the latest devices that are having some effect in producing skin tightening. They consider laser devices, as well as those using radio frequency and focused ultrasound technology and discuss the differences between them, and the results that can be achieved.
