They are the best in the business, with extensive training and cutting-edge laser tattoo erasure technology. Rest assured that your tattoo removal process will be in the hands of a skilled professional using the most advanced techniques available today.
Have you ever looked at your tattoo and asked yourself, “What was I thinking?” Using advanced technology, Southern Skin & Electrology’s highly trained staff can safely, comfortably, and effectively remove tattoos you no longer want. Southern Skin & Electrology utilizes the latest technology in tattoo removal. A beam of light of a specific wavelength selectively targets different colors of ink pigment. The heat generated from this type of energy shatters particles in the ink, and your body safely absorbs “leftovers” of the tattoo.
Kickstart your tattoo removal process in Panama City, FL. Our treatment specialists will assess the specific characteristics of your tattoo, including location, ink color, depth, and density, to estimate the number of sessions needed for the removal or fading process. You'll end your consultation with a detailed plan designed to fit your tattoo needs and your desired results.
Anesthetic Cream: Your tattoo removal session begins with the application of anesthetic cream to the tattooed area, ensuring comfort during the treatment.
Protective Gear: We'll provide you with protective eye gear to keep your eyes safe from the laser light during the procedure.
Laser Treatment: Once the anesthetic takes effect, your clinician will use our advanced laser technology to target the tattoo pigment. The number of laser pulses will depend on the size and complexity of your tattoo.
Pain Level: While some discomfort is normal, most clients find the sensation manageable. It’s often described as a rubber band snapping against your skin, but don't worry—our cooling device will help keep you comfortable throughout the session.
Session Duration: At Southern Skin & Electrology, laser tattoo removal sessions are typically quick and efficient, lasting only a few minutes, depending on your tattoo size.
Post-Treatment Care: After your session, we'll walk you through post-care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results, so you can keep moving forward with confidence.
Professional tattoos usually take from six to over 15 treatments, while amateur tattoos require four or more sessions due to the different composition of inks. Treatments are spaced approximately six to twelve weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the quality and depth of your tattoo application, the type of ink used in your tattoo, the color used and the length of time between each treatment. With the use of a pico laser, our laser technicians often achieve greater than 95 percent fading. Your tattoo will continue to fade for up to 5 years after your treatment. The longer you wait between treatments the fewer treatments it will take to remove your tattoo.
Cosmetic tattoo ink, typically the lighter ink colors, may contain ferric oxide that can permanently turn black when exposed to Q-switched laser pulses. The color changes are probably due to reduction of rust-colored ferric oxide to jet black ferrous oxide and from white Ti4+ to blue Ti3+. Further treatment often removes the ink, but permanent darkening of the ink is a possibility. Titanium dioxide ink content is associated with poor results.
Difficult colors are yellow, green and blue. Red and black are the easiest colors to remove.
However, tattoo removal is not suitable for everyone, and certain conditions may prevent you from undergoing laser tattoo removal. If you have recently tanned, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of keloid scarring, experienced an allergic reaction to tattoo ink in the past, or have known adverse reactions to laser tattoo removal patients are advised to refrain from the procedure. Your safety and well-being are our priority, and our team will carefully assess your individual circumstances to ensure the most effective and safe approach to achieving your desired tattoo removal results.
The laser tattoo removal process is a gradual process that takes a series of treatments. Generally, black ink is quicker to remove than pastels or bold colors. Each color absorbs a given wavelength differently. The volume and quality of ink used by your tattoo artist also matter, as does the tattoo’s age and depth. Our licensed Electrologist/Laser & Light-Based Technician will consider these factors when estimating the number of sessions to fade or eliminate unwanted body art. Additionally, we provide the Zimmer chiller for pain relief and skin treatment, reducing treatment waiting times and minimizing the likelihood of reactions. Protective eyewear will be supplied to safeguard your eyes from the laser beam.
The laser device will be skillfully maneuvered over your skin, pulsing over the tattoo in small sections. With each pulse, you may experience a quick zap of warmth or a sensation similar to a rubber band snap. The duration of the process depends on the size of your tattoo, ranging from a few minutes to an hour or more. Rest assured that throughout the procedure, our team at Southern Skin & Electrology will ensure your comfort and safety, guiding you toward the optimal results you desire for your tattoo removal journey.

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a noninvasive procedure that uses high powered laser light technology to penetrate deep into the skin and break down the pigment colors of trapped ink particles. Laser tattoo removal is considered the safest, most effective tool to remove unwanted tattoos.
What Laser Do We Use For Tattoo Removal?
Our laser features extremely short and high-power picosecond laser pulses, which efficiently and quickly break down the ink particles in tattoos. A picosecond is one-trillionth of a second and is 1,000 times shorter than the nanosecond pulses lasers currently utilize for tattoo removal. Picosecond laser pulses are clinically proven to remove tattoos more completely and in fewer treatment sessions than traditional laser methods.
Why Are Multiple Visits Required For Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo ink is deposited deep into the skin. In order to reach all of the ink, multiple treatment sessions are needed for clearance. The depth, size, and color of the tattoo will also affect the number of treatments needed.
Will My Tattoo Completely Disappear?
In many cases, yes. However, it is very important to know that some ink colors are more difficult to clear than others. Consult with the experts at Southern Skin & Electrology to ensure that your expectations will be met.
What Does the Procedure Feel Like?
Laser tattoo removal is generally reported to have a similar feeling to first receiving your tattoo. Some patients compare our tattoo removal to a rubber band being snapped against their skin. Topical anesthetics are always available to minimize any discomfort. Post-tattoo removal care often requires a bandage to be worn for 7-10 days and the skin will be red and irritated, again, similar to the process that occurred when first getting the tattoo.
• Is There Any Downtime Associated With Tattoo Removal?
No downtime; patients can return to their daily routine directly after treatment.
