What Is Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal uses high-precision Picosecond and Q-Switched lasers to target pigment trapped beneath the skin. These wavelengths break ink into microscopic fragments that your lymphatic system gradually clears away. With each session, the tattoo fades more and more, eventually becoming significantly lighter or fully removed, depending on your goals.

Tattoo Removal Treatment Details

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

During treatment, rapid laser pulses penetrate the skin and break down ink particles without harming the surrounding tissue. Your immune system then processes these particles over several weeks. Each session builds on the last, allowing your tattoo to fade gradually and safely.

What the Procedure Feels Like

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap or a quick prick of heat. We use a powerful cooling system and prescription-strength topical numbing to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Tattoo removal is highly individualized. Amateur tattoos may fade within 3–6 sessions, while professional tattoos, especially those with dense pigment, may require 8–12 or more treatments. Colors like black, blue, and red fade more easily, while colors like yellow, pink, and white may be more resistant.

Treatment Time & Session Frequency

Most sessions take only 10–20 minutes, depending on tattoo size. To allow the body time to clear fragmented ink, we recommend spacing appointments 4–6 weeks apart.

Tattoo Removal Recovery

Recovery is minimal and straightforward. Immediately after treatment, the tattooed area may appear white or frosted, then slightly red or swollen for a few hours. Mild tenderness, similar to a sunburn, is normal. You’ll apply ointment and keep the area bandaged for the first 24 hours to support healing. Over the next week, the skin may flake lightly as ink continues to break down. It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure between treatments to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation and ensure optimal fading.

Tattoo Removal Results

Results appear gradually as your body removes ink particles. You may begin to notice fading after the first session, with more dramatic changes occurring after three to four visits. Outcomes depend on the depth of the ink, age, color, and your body’s natural healing response. Many patients achieve near-complete removal, while others prefer a lighter tattoo for easier cover-up.

Frequently Asked Questions Tattoo Removal Treatment

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Advanced Picosecond and Q-Switched lasers send pulses of energy into the pigment, causing ink to fracture into microscopic pieces that your body naturally eliminates over time. Each session fades the tattoo more.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most patients tolerate it well, describing the sensation as brief snaps of heat. We apply a strong topical numbing agent and use cooling air to minimize discomfort, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the session.

How much does tattoo removal cost?

Cost per Area Size:

Small - $129 (up to the size of a credit card)
Medium - $169 (between one and two credit card areas)
Large - $199 (between two and three credit card areas)
Additional Areas - $30/area

Enhance your treatment with DESCRIBE PFD Patch for just $95 (allows for faster, more effective laser sessions with improved comfort and recovery)

Can all colors be removed?

Black, red, blue, and green respond very well. Lighter colors, such as yellow, pink, or white, may be more challenging, but modern Picosecond technology offers better outcomes than older-generation lasers.

Will laser tattoo removal cause scarring?

The lasers we use are designed to target pigment without damaging surrounding skin, making scarring rare. We will review your skin history to reduce risks, especially if you are prone to keloids.

How should I care for my skin after treatment?

Keep the area clean, bandaged for 24 hours, and protected from sunlight. Apply the recommended ointment and avoid picking or scrubbing the skin as it heals.

Can I lighten my tattoo for a cover-up instead of fully removing it?

Yes! Many artists request partial fading to create a clean canvas for cover-ups. We can tailor your treatment plan to your specific goals.
