Laser Tattoo Removal

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light pulses to break down tattoo ink particles. The body's immune system then gradually removes the fragmented ink over time. Multiple sessions achieve significant fading or complete removal—erasing regret and enabling fresh starts or cover-up tattoos.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Black ink responds best to laser treatment. Colored tattoos, especially green and blue, may require more sessions with specialized laser wavelengths—discuss your specific tattoo during consultation.

⚠️ Insider Note: Complete removal isn't always guaranteed, especially for professional tattoos with dense ink. Discuss realistic expectations with your practitioner before starting treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does tattoo removal hurt?

The sensation is similar to getting a tattoo—often described as hot rubber band snaps. Numbing cream applied beforehand and cooling during treatment significantly reduce discomfort.

How many sessions will I need?

6-12 sessions typically, depending on tattoo size, color, age, and ink type. Black ink may clear in 6-8 sessions; multi-colored tattoos often require 10-15+.

Which ink colors are hardest to remove?

Green, blue, and white inks are most resistant and may require specialized wavelengths. Black and red respond best to standard Q-switched lasers.

Will there be scarring?

With proper technique and careful aftercare, scarring risk is under 5%. Pre-existing scar tissue from the original tattooing may become more visible as ink fades.

How long between sessions?

6-8 weeks minimum to allow complete healing and for your body to process broken-down ink particles. Rushing sessions doesn't improve results.

Can all tattoos be removed?

Most tattoos can be significantly faded (90-95%). Complete 100% removal isn't always possible, especially for professional tattoos with dense, deep ink.

Is it safe for dark skin?

Nd:YAG lasers are safest for darker skin tones when used with proper settings by experienced technicians. Discuss your skin type during consultation.

What about cover-up tattoos?

Multiple ink layers require more sessions but can still be effectively treated. Most cover-up preps need 3-5 sessions to fade the original sufficiently.
