Contact UsWhat is Laser Tattoo Removal?
There may be many reasons why you no longer want a tattoo. Maybe it reminds you of a painful memory. Maybe it has lost color or just no longer represents who you are. Regardless of the reason, breakthroughs in tattoo removal technology have helped make it feasible to lighten and maybe even eliminate unwanted tattoos completely. At Stalder Plastic Surgery in New Orleans, LA, Dr. Mark W. Stalder offers tattoo removal using a high-tech laser system. This laser energy device is known to yield better results than other tattoo removal systems and might necessitate fewer treatments.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal?
At Stalder Plastic Surgery, laser tattoo removal technology can help New Orleans patients wanting to resolve unwanted, spotty, or badly drawn ink by offering several benefits from treatment, such as:
- Effective, safe treatment
- Performed in convenient, easy sessions over time
- Reduces the appearance of problematic, outdated, or unwanted art from your body
- Protects healthy cells from injury or scarring
Am I A Good Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?
Several considerations can increase the success of your tattoo removal. Good candidates for laser tattoo removal:
- Have strong immune systems: A strong immune system improves the body's ability to dispose of the broken-down ink properties.
- Are overall healthy: Not smoking and eating a well-balanced diet aid the body's immune system in working efficiently.
- Have significant differences between the ink color and the pigment of the skin: The greater the contrast, the greater the result.
- Have tattoos that are several years old: Older tattoos tend to respond better to laser removal treatment.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Once Dr. Stalder decides that your skin is ideal for tattoo removal treatment, the tattoo will be prepped with a deep cleansing and an application of numbing cream. Dr. Stalder will pass the device over the tattooed skin as it emits laser light and pulsing energy. The treatment time varies and depends on the size and type of the treatment area. In some situations, the tattoo may require multiple sessions before noticeable results can be seen. These factors will all be discussed during your consultation.
What Should I Expect after Laser Tattoo Removal?
After each treatment, a topical cream will be applied to the skin along with bandages to help protect the area. You might experience redness, sensitivity, and swelling. You could also feel a sunburned sensation and experience minor scabbing. It's important to follow aftercare instructions carefully to speed up the healing process. Once the skin is ready, your next treatment session can be scheduled. Dr. Stalder does not recommend scheduling sessions sooner than 4 – 7 weeks apart.

Laser Tattoo Removal FAQs
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The cost of your tattoo removal treatment will depend on the total of sessions needed and the part of the body being treated. Every patient's situation is distinct, and a percentage of patients require more sessions, while others might just need a few. At your first consultation, we can talk about the estimated amount for your laser treatment plan and refer you to low-interest medical financing to make your care more accessible.
Why do I need multiple laser tattoo removal sessions?
Dimension, color, location, and the span of time you've had the tattoo all influence the number of treatments necessary to successfully erase the tattoo. At your first visit, your treatment strategy will be reviewed, and any concerns about the amount of necessary treatments may be presented at that time.
When will I see results?
The outcomes and final look of the tattoo differ from person to person. After each tattoo removal appointment, you should see the tattoo fade. Due to the various kinds of inks utilized in tattooing, the end results and the amount of treatments might differ. More often than not, a number of sessions will be required and are spaced 2 – 4 weeks between.

I can’t give enough thanks to Dr Stalder and his PA Megan. After a DMX to implant and a year of complications, they immediately developed a plan and I underwent a SHAEP FLAP procedure. The recovery from this surgery compared to the implants from another plastic surgeon was night and day. I knew right then I had chosen the right team this time. Megan is readily available by text for any questions or advice. I cannot say how grateful I am to this amazing team of medical professionals and a simple thank you is not enough.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication. Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I am hopeful that I will never have to hear those dreaded words, “you have breast cancer,” in my lifetime. I highly recommend Dr. Mark Stalder to anyone considering breast reconstruction. He listens attentively, provides compassionate care, and is dedicated to his patients. His team worked diligently to ensure I was fully informed and confident in my decisions regarding the surgery, making me feel valued and well-cared-for throughout the process.

Dr. Stalder and his team are truly the best in their field.
When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
