Tattoo Removal

Laser treatment usually doesn’t take more than a few minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo, complexity, and color(s) of the tattoo. On average we can have you in and out in fifteen minutes!

Removing a tattoo is a fading process that requires a number of treatments scheduled 6 - 8 weeks apart. Black inks usually respond more quickly than bright colors because they absorb the light better. The depth, ink color, and amount of ink, location of the tattoo, are all determining factors in how quickly we’ll be able to get your tattoo off. Depending on your preference for fading or full removal, the process can take between 5 – 12 sessions.

Our lasers pulse is so quick that they’re able to dissolve the ink without destroying the live tissue in the process. Similar to running your hand over a candle very quickly, there is not enough time to burn the skin. Redness, swelling, blistering, and scabbing may follow tattoo removal laser treatments. But our laser technology combined with proper aftercare ensures that there will be no scarring.

Most patients say that the laser treatment feels like being snapped by a rubber band and that the discomfort is roughly equivalent to having a tattoo applied. We focus on making the procedure as comfortable as possible. In preparation for a laser procedure doctors recommend that non-aspirin products be used for minor pain. Don’t use aspirin or Ibuprofen as this can produce bruising after treatment.

Laser treatment is a safe and effective method for removing tattoos when it’s performed by a certified technician trained to use tattoo removal lasers.

Thanks to our advanced technologies, we can work on even the more challenging tattoo colors that at one time would have been impossible to eliminate from the skin. It is even an alternative for those who have tried tattoo removal before, but gave up after seeing the poor results.
