FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser energy is delivered to the tattoo, targeting the ink and breaking it down into smaller particles. The particles are eliminated by the body natural processes resulting in a lightening of the tattoo ink.

How many treatments will tattoo removal require?
The number of laser treatments needed for tattoo removal is dependent on a number of variables such as ink type, size of the tattoo, type of laser used, lifestyle habits, etc. During your consultation, Dr. Tsyganovwill evaluate your tattoo and recommend a specific treatment regime to help you achieve the best results.

How often will I need treatments?
While it typically it takes 4-6 weeks for the body to absorb ink particles, every patient and tattoo responds differently. Following the recommended post treatment protocol will likely improve the results and reduce the chance of adverse events.

Can I have only a portion of my tattoo removed?
Yes, the Revlite® SI laser provides energy precisely enough so that a small amount of a tattoo can be removed without affecting the surrounding tattoo.

How much does tattoo removal cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on several factors, including the size of tattoo and the number of treatments it will require. After your consultation, Dr. Tsyganovwill provide you with a price estimate for the treatment series.

Can I lighten the tattoo to have another one put on top?
Tattoos can be lightened in preparation for a cover-up tattoo. We recommend that you wait six weeks between your last treatment and when you have the new tattoo completed.

Each laser tattoo removal procedure is slightly uncomfortable, however it is very fast. Many treatments may take less than a minute. Dr. Tsyganov has over 10 years of practice as a certified Anesthesiologist by the State of New Jersey and will use his experience to come up with the best pain management option for you based on your individual situation and skin type.

Stretch Marks/Striae Distensae


What are stretch marks?

Normal skin is 80% collagen and 4% elastin fiber network.  Elastin is the protein in the skin that gives it flexibility and allows it to stretch and recoil back to its original position.

Stretch marks, otherwise known as striae distensae, are a form of discolored scar found in the skin, in which the elastin fibers have been irreversibly damaged.  Since our skin cannot repair elastin fibers, stretch marks do not heal.

Depending on one’s skin type and the age of the scar they can appear brown, white, or red. Stretch marks often begin red, then turn brown and subsequently lose most of their color altogether. 

Common areas for developing stretch marks are the abdomen, the breasts, inner upper arms, thighs, hips and buttocks. They pose no health threat but are cosmetically unappealing. Between 75% and 90% of women develop stretch marks to some degree during pregnancy.

What causes stretch marks?

The cause of stretch marks is unknown.  Previously it was thought that rapid stretching of the skin led to the rupture of the connective tissue (collagen-elastin) framework and formation of an atrophic scar.

Recently scientists have discovered that stretch mark formation is associated with hormonal influences in the body.  Therefore people get stretch marks at times of increased hormones, such as adolescence, pregnancy, weight gain, etc, which cause a change in metabolism in their skin. 

Stretch marks are also seen as a side effect of using topical steroid medications or taking oral steroids, such as prednisone.  That is because the structure of steroid medications resembles hormones. 

Stretch marks are also seen in some systemic diseases like Cushing’s disease, an internal cause of increased steroid hormones.

Who gets stretch marks?

Stretch marks develop during times of hormonal changes in our skin.  70% adolescent women and 40% adolescent men have stretch marks.  Almost all pregnant women will develop them as well.
 
  • Pregnancy
  • Puberty
  • Weight gain
  • Intense muscle building exercises
  • Use of topical or oral steroid medications
  • Certain systemic diseases

What do stretch marks look like?

Stretch marks appear as parallel streaks of red, thinned, glossy skin that over time become whitish and scarlike in appearance. The stretch marks may be slightly depressed and have a different texture than normal skin.
