Can your tattoo laser removal procedure just treat a section of my tattoo?

Our trained technician can remove or lighten just a section of your tattoo so you can continue the same theme with your tattooist. Our laser is very accurate to remove a minimal section.

Do I have to pay for my sessions in advance?

You can pay for your laser tattoo removal as you go or purchase our discounted packages.

Do you charge for a consultation?

Tattoo laser removal consultations are always FREE to determine time, options and cost. We educate you about the entire tattoo removal process.

Does this treatment remove color tattoos?

With the cutting edge technology of our tattoo removal procedure, our 4 different wavelengths will remove all colors. Yellow and white are stubborn and require additional treatments to produce significant fading.

How does it work?

Lasers work by producing short pulses of intense light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin to be selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigment. This laser energy causes the tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller particles that are then removed by the body´s immune system.

In tattoo laser removal the laser selectively targets the pigment of the tattoo without damaging the surrounding skin. We have 4 wavelengths of light to use to treat all colors to deliver the laser´s output to best remove the tattoo ink. This is why Q–switched ND Yag lasers cause no scarring while continuous lasers almost always do.

How many treatments will it take to remove a tattoo?

All tattoos are different, so our tattoo removal procedure works differently in every case. That means we can only estimate the number of treatments it will take to completely remove the tattoo. This is because:

The wide variations of inks and pigmentation materials used for tattooing
The inks themselves are made up of a combination of different chemical substances
The amount of ink placed in the tattoo, as well as the depth of pigment placement varies from one tattoo to another
The ability of your white blood cells to "gobble up and drag away" different pigment particles varies
Other unknown factors.

As a result of these many issues we cannot be absolutely certain how your particular tattoo will respond to tattoo laser removal procedure.
Most "amateur" or "home-made" tattoos will generally require about 4-6 laser treatments. Professional tattoos and those done with harder inks, tend to be more variable in response, and average about 6-10 treatments. Some stubborn tattoo inks may require even more treatments

How much do you charge?

We are the leading authority in tattoo laser removal.
We charge $45.00 for the first square inch, $ 25.00 each additional square inch.
Multiple treatment packages are sold with savings. We do not charge for skin surrounding your tattoo.

Is the process painful?

The Q–Switched laser emits light in very short pulses. The impact of the energy from the powerful pulse of light is similar to the snap of a thin rubber band. Some discomfort may be experienced during tattoo laser removal treatment and local, topical or no anaesthesia may be recommended.
After the treatment, the area will feel similar to having a slight sunburn. Typically, within a day or so, any discomfort disappears. The area may remain red for two to four weeks. After the redness clears, the skin returns to its normal color and texture.

Will scarring occur?

Our state of the art cutting edge laser technology doesn't´t break or damage the skin. Older laser technology that are used in many clinics are prone to scarring. Follow our aftercare instructions will greatly reduce your chance of scarring.

Will the tattoo completely disappear?

Yes, in many cases our tattoo laser removal procedure will result in the complete disappearance of the tattoo. Greater than 95% fading of the tattoo may be accomplished.
However, it is very important to know that there are many, many types of tattoo inks are in use worldwide today, none of which are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink was used or how deeply the ink was applied, makes it impossible for the physician to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.
