At Vita Nova Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Clinic in San Antonio, TX, board-certified internist Dr. Francisco Cardona provides laser tattoo removal with the sophisticated Alma Harmony® XL PRO. This laser energy device has proven to yield better results than other tattoo removal systems and may necessitate fewer treatments.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?
There are a number of factors which could improve the success of your tattoo removal. Good candidates for this procedure:
- Have a strong immune system. A strong immune system improves the body’s ability to dispose of the broken down ink properties.
- Are healthy overall. Smoking and eating an unhealthy diet limit the body's immune system from working at max capacity.
- Have great contrast between the ink color and the skin color. Greater contrasts yield greater results.
- Have older tattoos. Older tattoos have a tendency to respond better to laser removal treatment.
What Can I Expect from Laser Tattoo Removal?
As soon as Dr. Cardona determines that your skin is ideal for tattoo removal, the tattoo will be prepared with a careful cleansing and an application of numbing cream. We will then begin by passing the Harmony XL PRO handpiece over the tattooed skin as it releases laser light and pulsing energy to break down the ink pigment. Your body's lymphatic system will flush out the ink particles from your body over a period of time. This will cause your tattoo to lighten in color or disappear altogether. At times, the tattoo may require multiple treatments before obvious results can be seen. This will all be discussed with you at your consultation.
