At Bod Medical, we specialize in safe, effective, and personalized laser tattoo removal using only dedicated, medical-grade laser systems, never “multi-purpose” devices that compromise results. Laser tattoo removal is performed by Dr. Bodner himself. Dr. Bodner has over 20 years of experience performing laser tattoo removal and has successfully performed over 1000 laser tattoo removal procedures. Successful tattoo removal depends on having the right technology for your skin type, tattoo color, and depth, and the truth is, one laser simply isn’t right for everyone.

A truly effective laser tattoo removal practice requires multiple lasers and multiple wavelengths and that’s exactly where Bod Medical stands apart. We have three lasers dedicated exclusively to tattoo removal, including the Candela PicoWay, Cynosure PicoSure, and the Hoya ConBio MedLite. By using multiple gold-standard lasers, each with different wavelengths specifically designed to break down various tattoo pigments, we’re able to precisely target ink while protecting the surrounding skin. The result is safer treatments, more effective fading, and superior results over a series of sessions, backed by professional care offered by Dr. Bodner himself, advanced technology, and noticeable improvement with every visit.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. Over a series of sessions, your body naturally eliminates these fragmented pigments, leading to gradual fading of the tattoo. The treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique skin type and tattoo characteristics for optimal results.

Consultation & Preparation Steps

Before beginning laser tattoo removal at Bod Medical, you’ll meet with Dr. Bodner for a personalized consultation. We assess your tattoo, skin type, and medical history to develop a safe and effective treatment plan. Preparation may include avoiding sun exposure and certain skincare products prior to your session, ensuring optimal results and reducing the risk of side effects.

The Importance of Having a Qualified Physician Perform Your Treatment

Who performs your laser tattoo removal makes a significant difference in both your results and your safety. A recent Dermatology Times article reported high dissatisfaction and complication rates among individuals treated by non-physicians for laser tattoo removal.

At Bod Medical, every laser procedure is personally performed by Dr. Bradley Bodner, a physician with over 20 years of experience and thousands of successful laser treatments completed. His expertise ensures precise, effective, and safe outcomes for every patient.

Unlike many offices where consultations are handled by sales representatives, Dr. Bodner personally conducts your consultation. His focus is on honesty, setting realistic expectations, and ensuring you’re a suitable candidate for treatment. He will never recommend or perform a procedure unless it’s appropriate for your skin type and tattoo characteristics.

Thanks to the advanced technology available at Bod Medical, Dr. Bodner is able to safely and effectively treat the vast majority of individuals seeking laser tattoo removal.

Pain Control That Makes Laser Tattoo Removal Easier

If you have researched laser tattoo removal, you may have heard that treatments are painful. They can be. But they don’t have to be! While Dr. Bodner has been performing laser procedures for almost 20 years, his training in pain management procedures goes back even further. Therefore, he is uniquely skilled to make your laser treatment comfortable. There are multiple options to make treatments more comfortable. Some offices have few options Dr. Bodner has all the options.

1. Topical anesthesia (numbing cream). Topical anesthetics may change a painful treatment to a painless one. But it’s all about the right topical ingredients. Prescription topicals are far stronger than over-the-counter options, and not all prescription options are equal. Dr. Bodner can make sure you get the best option for you!

2. Intradermal lidocaine injections – for those who are very sensitive or don’t deal with creams, Dr. Bodner can use a variety of techniques to inject the area being treated with Lidocaine. This often completely eliminates discomfort for you!

3. Pro-Nox™ for those that don’t like needles or numbing cream, Pro-Nox™ is a great option. Pro-Nox™ is an FDA-cleared analgesia that delivers 50% Nitrous Oxide and 50% Oxygen. Best known for its ability to safely and effectively ease pain, anxiety, and discomfort

4. Cold Devices Air cooling devices, such as a Zimmer chiller and ice, are simple ways that Bod Medical also uses. The Pagani cryo-t device can achieve controlled cold much deeper.

What to Expect During Treatment?

Before starting the laser tattoo removal session, your provider will thoroughly cleanse the treatment area to remove any oils, lotions, or debris. A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure. This preparation helps ensure optimal laser penetration and reduces the risk of irritation or side effects.

During the procedure, the provider uses a specialized laser device to deliver short pulses of light energy directly to the tattooed area. The laser targets the ink particles, breaking them down so your body can gradually eliminate them. Patients may feel a snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin, but discomfort is typically minimal.

After the laser session, the treated skin may appear red, swollen, or feel warm—these effects usually subside within a few hours. Your provider may apply a soothing ointment and cover the area with a sterile dressing to protect it. Proper post-treatment care helps promote healing and minimizes the risk of complications.

You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of infection. It’s important to avoid sun exposure, picking at scabs, or using harsh products on the treated area. Multiple sessions are typically required for complete tattoo removal, with follow-up appointments scheduled several weeks apart.

Healing and Aftercare Tips

Managing Redness and Swelling

Immediately after your laser tattoo removal session, it’s common to experience redness, swelling, and mild tenderness in the treated area. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Applying a cool compress and keeping the area clean can help soothe discomfort and promote faster healing.

Caring for the Treated Area

Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and ensure optimal results. Gently cleanse the area with mild soap and water, patting it dry before applying any recommended ointment. Avoid picking at scabs or blisters, as this can increase the risk of scarring.

Sun Protection During Recovery

Protecting the treated skin from sun exposure is crucial during the healing process. Direct sunlight can increase sensitivity, slow healing, and lead to pigmentation changes. Always cover the area with clothing or use a broad-spectrum sunscreen if exposure is unavoidable.

When to Resume Normal Activities

Most patients can return to their usual activities shortly after treatment, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise or soaking the area in water for a few days. Listen to your body and follow your provider’s specific recommendations for a smooth recovery. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact Bod Medical for guidance.

Fading Timeline and Expected Results

Results from laser tattoo removal are gradual, with most patients noticing fading after each session. Complete removal often requires multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart, as the body needs time to break down and eliminate ink particles. While some tattoos may lighten significantly within a few months, final results depend on factors like ink color, tattoo size, and individual healing response.

Who Benefits Most From This Treatment

Individuals with unwanted tattoos seeking complete or partial removal.
People with realistic expectations about gradual fading over multiple sessions.
Those in good overall health without skin infections or certain medical conditions.
Candidates who are committed to following aftercare instructions for optimal results.
