Laser Tattoo Removal

How It Works

Advanced laser technology targets tattoo ink particles with high-intensity light pulses. The laser breaks down ink into smaller particles that your body's immune system naturally eliminates over time. Different wavelengths target different ink colors for comprehensive removal.

Number of Treatments

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart for complete removal. Lighter tattoos or older ink may require fewer sessions, while darker, more vibrant tattoos may need more. Fading begins after the first treatment with progressive improvement over time.

What to Expect

Treatment sessions typically last 10-30 minutes depending on tattoo size. Most people describe a snapping sensation similar to getting the tattoo. Topical numbing is available for comfort. Mild swelling, redness, and temporary lightening or darkening of skin may occur but resolves within days.

Factors Affecting Removal

Tattoo age (older fades faster), ink colors (black and dark blue respond best), skin tone, tattoo depth, and location all affect removal timeline. Professional tattoos may take longer than amateur ink due to deeper penetration and higher ink density.

Results

Progressive fading with each treatment. Many tattoos can be completely removed, while others fade significantly enough to cover with new ink. Final results vary based on individual factors, but modern laser technology offers the most effective tattoo removal available.
