Tattoo Removal

Dermatology Associates provides full spectrum tattoo removal services at our Johnson City Cosmetic Center.

Tattoo Removal treatments are currently provided only at the Johnson City Cosmetic Center.

Treatment

The Lumenis PiQo4 laser is used to perform the procedure. The PiQo4 brings unique new technology with a combination of unsurpassed advantages: both Pico and Nano technology, high energy, deep reach, and 4 wave-lengths.

A topical anesthesia may be used to minimize any discomfort. Patients who elect to have it done without any anesthesia may do so. Treatments generally can take 15 minutes to 1 hour, with most averaging 30 minutes, depending upon tattoo size. The number of treatments can vary.

Although most treatments are successful, depending upon the tattoo, complete removal cannot be guaranteed.

Please contact us for details on the treatment. An initial complimentary consultation and evaluation are required, and can be scheduled by calling our Johnson City Cosmetic Center at (423) 928-9014.

Post operative considerations

After treatment, it is best to protect the treated area from sun exposure for 5 to 7 days. More detailed post-care will be provided at initial consultation as well as at treatment.

Reviews from our Patients

I can not say enough about Dr. Chad Thomas and his two nurses, April and Rachel. There were caring, compassionate, professional and personable. They treated my mother in the Mohs Surgery area and made sure that all her questions were answered and everything was explained. They were even apologetic for the length of the treatment which was far and away a more swifter and pleasant experience than most doctors visit. I cannot recommend Dermatology and Associates enough.

Everything from start to finish was just great! Quick check in and check out. They have a welcoming and pleasant staff in both Dermatology and Cosmetology departments! Dr. Ramsauer was prompt and very thorough as was PA Sarah. I was made to feel very comfortable during the examination. She froze something off my back; I'm so glad that she is cautious after losing a family member from melanoma.

Today I was a patient at Dermatology Associates in Kingsport, TN. I want to THANK AND BRAG on Dr. Chad J. Thomas and his three Nurses. They ALL are very caring and professional. They go above and beyond to meet the needs of their patients. Dr. Thomas's Nurses assisted him each time. Rachel assisted him in the final stitching and was amazing explaining everything. They ALL were! My husband and I were amazed with them and thank them for what they do for their patients. We HIGHLY recommend them!

Great visit as I hadn't been there since 2019, for I'd had no recent reasons to go. Just wanted to do an overall skin check, since I'm 70 and can't see well, nor see areas of ears, back and back of arms and such. Really nice nurse and doctor, and I highly recommend them. All is well.
— R.D.

I came in to let the Dermatologist look at a couple of spots that I have on my scalp. Everyone was very good to me during my visit. The nurse and nurse practitioner were extremely comforting and gave me great information. Luckily the spots were nothing that I should be worried about!
