As with all lasers, the effectiveness of our lasers and the number of treatments required to remove and/or lighten a tattoo will depend on factors such as factors size, location, color, depth, how the tattoo was applied, the length of time it has been on the skin, and the patient’s individual skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions

DOES TATTOO REMOVAL HURT?

It's a common belief that tattoo removal is excruciating, yet most patients say that the sensation of removal is comparable to having a tattoo applied. Basically it's uncomfortable but bearable.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Side effects of laser procedures are generally few but may include hyperpigmentation or an abundance of color in the skin at the treatment site and hypopigmentation, where the treated area lacks normal skin color. Other possible side effects include infection of the site, lack of complete pigment removal, and a chance of permanent scarring.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

The first week after your laser treatment is about healing. In the following six weeks, your skin cells and other immune cells will slowly remove the tiny ink particles, which have been broken up by the laser treatment. Within this time you will notice your tattoo begin to fade. The precise results and appearance of your tattoo vary from patient to patient. After each treatment session, you will see the tattoo become lighter.
