Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment
Laser tattoo removal uses focused light beams to target the skin, which breaks the tattoo ink into small pieces. These fragments are gradually removed by the body’s natural processes. The process is generally safe for almost all skin types and can successfully target different colors and sizes of tattoos.

FAQ’s
Getting a tattoo usually takes about 5 to 10 sessions, but this can change based on the size, colors, age, and where the tattoo is placed. Fading is usually visible after the first few sessions.
The procedure may feel similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Most patients find it tolerable, and we use cooling methods to help reduce discomfort during treatment.
Tattoos can often be completely taken off, but how well this works depends on things like the type of ink used and the person’s skin color. In some cases, a slight shadow or trace may remain. We’ll discuss the expected results during your consultation.
Selective tattoo removal is possible. If you want to lighten just a portion of the tattoo or remove specific elements, we can target those areas with precision during your sessions.
While most tattoos can be significantly faded or removed, certain ink colors—such as bright yellow, light green, and fluorescent tones—can be more resistant to treatment. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your tattoo and provide honest feedback about your expected results.
Treatments are normally scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart. This timing gives your body a chance to get rid of the broken-down ink particles and allows your skin enough time to recover between sessions.
Once the skin has fully healed and the original ink is sufficiently faded, it’s safe to get a new tattoo in the same area. Many clients choose removal specifically to make room for a cleaner, more precise cover-up.
After treatment, avoid sun exposure, soak the area (such as in pools or hot tubs), sweat heavily, and pick up scabs or blisters. Keeping the area protected and moisturized, as recommended, will support the best healing outcome.
