Astanza will be attending the Annual Clinical Meeting of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in San Francisco from May 15-19, 2010.
Laser tattoo removal is a procedure that has grown rapidly in popularity in the United States, Europe, Latin America, and several Asian markets. Obstetricians and gynecologists have found that their patient demographic matches very well with those demanding laser tattoo removal - a patient population that trends 2/3 female.
The declining reimbursement rates that affect the entire medical community have struck the OB/GYN community especially hard. Physician practitioners are forced to see more patients to support their overhead and a decent level of income for themselves. It seems clear that this trend will continue rather than retreat, and that physicians are looking for new sources of income for their practices.
Laser tattoo removal may be an appropriate addition for these OB/GYN practices. The demographics of these practices is well suited for a variety of cosmetic procedures, including laser treatments. As women age, the skin loses some its tightness and elasticity, and pregnancy and weight gain lead to stretching of skin. In many areas where tattoos are common - the hip, the lower back, the belly, the upper breast - these changes affect the attractiveness of tattoos.
Additionally, as women move towards having families of their own, they may focus less on the self-expression and rebelliousness of earlier years. The tattoos that were appealing five or ten years prior may not fit into the image or lifestyle that these new mothers seek for themselves. As these women visit their medical caregiver for issues related to the health of their newborn or the evolution of their pregnancy, many may discuss the removal of their tattoos and other skin-related cosmetic issues. Astanza offers technology that lets practitioners profit from these conversations.
