If You Have Tattoo Regret, Do Your Research Before Getting Your Tattoo Removed!

TORONTO - Nov. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- As tattoos increase in popularity, so too does tattoo regret. People looking to have a tattoo removed entirely or faded so they can add another tattoo on top of the original one,  need to research the options carefully as tattoo removal is not regulated in Canada. A fully licensed level 3 hospital grade medical facility certified by the government, Rice Cosmetic Surgery was the first plastic surgery clinic in Canada to offer PicoSure®’s patented PressureWave® technology to effectively erase tattoos with fewer treatments, better results and minimal discomfort.

“There have been recent cases of people being scarred from laser-free tattoo removal,” states Dr. Sean Rice, Rice Cosmetic Surgery. “It is always essential to research thoroughly before having a tattoo removed. Health Ontario inspects the machines but they do not regulate who operates the lasers. There are many small businesses across Canada that have people who are not regulated as medical professionals carrying out tattoo removal.”

One of the biggest concerns patients have about tattoo removal is pain. PicoSure is used in conjunction with a cooling technology before, during and after the removal treatment to numb the skin and as a result, patients feel minimal pain and discomfort while getting their tattoos removed, however if a patient is having multiple tattoos removed, or would prefer to be sedated during the procedure, Rice Cosmetic Surgery is a fully licensed level 3 hospital grade medical facility, the highest level able to perform surgery under a general anesthetic.
