Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a medical-grade treatment designed to safely fade and remove unwanted tattoo pigment by breaking ink particles into smaller fragments that the body can naturally eliminate over time.

This treatment may be used for complete tattoo removal or for fading prior to a cover-up.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

Laser energy is delivered into the skin and selectively absorbed by tattoo pigment. The energy breaks the ink into microscopic particles, which are gradually cleared by the body’s immune system.

Each treatment progressively lightens the tattoo, with fading occurring over multiple sessions.

What Can Be Treated

•     Unwanted tattoos
•     Tattoo fading for cover-ups
•     Black and multi-colored ink
•     Professional and amateur tattoos

Treatment Schedule

Tattoo removal is performed in a series.

Most patients require 6–12 treatments, spaced approximately 10–12 weeks apart, depending on:

•     ink color and depth
•     tattoo age
•     location on the body
•     individual healing response

If fading for a cover-up, noticeable lightening may often be achieved in 2–4 sessions.

Recovery & Downtime

Following treatment, the area may appear red, swollen, or tender. Temporary blistering or scabbing may occur and is a normal part of the healing process.

Healing typically occurs over 1–2 weeks, while continued fading occurs between sessions.

Schedule a Tattoo Removal Consultation

A consultation is required to evaluate tattoo characteristics, skin type, and treatment expectations before beginning laser tattoo removal.
