How Does Tattoo Removal Work?
The immune system views tattoo ink as a foreign substance, similar to dirt or bacteria, and slowly attacks it over time. That’s why tattoos fade, distort, and discolor.
Traditional Q-Switched lasers heat up and melt tattoo ink, making it easier for the body to absorb and metabolize over 6-8 weeks. This process lightens the tattoo’s appearance.
Each laser treatment breaks down the particles even more until the tattoo is fully absorbed. This can typically take between 10-15 treatments.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal effective?

Who is a good candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?
Anyone that has a tattoo they would like removed is a good candidate. Questions? Schedule a consultation!
Your technician will use your personal skin type to decide what settings to use to achieve the best results while being safe for you. Make sure you are not on any photosensitive medications, the area has been out of the sun and avoiding heat after treatment will avoid the risks.
Are there risks or side effects?
Scarring and blistering are possible side effects for Laser Tattoo Removal. To avoid these risks please keep the area out of the sun and heat before and after your session and let your technician know if you are on any medications.
How quickly can I expect to see results?
You can see your results from tattoo removal the same day but will notice fading over the next 10-12 weeks as your body breaks down the remaining ink.
How long does a Laser Tattoo Removal treatment take?
Laser Tattoo Removal treatments can be as short as 5 minutes up to 90 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo.
Is there any downtime with laser tattoo removal?
The treated area will be tender for the next 3-5 days and may dry out. To help speed the healing process you should apply EltaMD Laser Enzyme Gel 3-4x daily and cover with a bandage for 5 days.
