2008-03-01 08:44:05 - New Look Laser Tattoo Removal, the leading provider of medical laser tattoo removal in Houston, was featured Sunday on ABC 13 TV for their expertise. The special feature on Eyewitness News discussed the prevalence of homemade tattoos among young people in the Houston area and described New Look as an expert in effective and affordable Houston tattoo removal.

Houston-based New Look Laser Tattoo Removal has years of experience removing unwanted professional tattoos as well as homemade tattoos. One of the leading concerns with homemade tattoos is the risk of infection from the use of shared, unsterilized needles and other pigment injection devices. The news feature showed footage of a tattoo removal procedure performed by New Look's nurse practitioner

- Lynette K. Kennedy, FNP, CLS.

Homemade tattoos are increasingly popular among young people ages 14-22, with the tattoo often applied using homemade equipment such as ballpoint pens, india ink, and tattoo guns made with small motors and metal wires. These teenagers put themselves at risk for infections including hepatitis-c, HIV, Staphylococcus Aureus, and a variety of others.

New Look Laser Tattoo Removal uses what is considered the world's most advanced medical laser for tattoo removal - the Cynosure Affinity QS. The Affinity is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and highly effective at removing a wide range of colors and types of tattoos, including names, tribal symbols, permanent makeup, and gang tattoos.

Ryan N. Lambert, New Look's president, noted in an on-air interview that "many parents aren't aware of how common homemade tattooing is among young people" in Houston, and that laser tattoo removal is the only "safe, effective, and affordable method" of removing unwanted tattoos.
