Laser tattoo removal uses targeted energy to break tattoo pigment into progressively smaller particles. Your body’s natural processes then gradually clear portions of the fragmented pigment over time.

Because ink depth, color, density, tattoo age, and individual response vary, tattoo removal typically requires a series of treatments rather than a single session.

There isn’t one number that applies to every tattoo.
The number of sessions can be influenced by:
– tattoo size and location
– ink colors
– amount and density of ink
– professional versus amateur tattooing
– age of the tattoo
– previous tattoo-removal treatments
– skin characteristics
– individual healing and immune response
At your consultation, we’ll evaluate your tattoo and discuss a realistic treatment strategy.
I would not advertise something like “tattoo gone in 6 treatments.” It creates an expectation you can’t reliably guarantee.

Our tattoo removal treatments may be appropriate for:

Professional Tattoos

Dense, professionally applied tattoo ink.

Amateur Tattoos

Tattoos that may contain less or more superficially placed pigment.

Multicolored Tattoos

Different tattoo colors absorb different wavelengths of laser energy, so your provider will evaluate which colors can be appropriately targeted.

Tattoo Fading for a Cover-Up

Don’t necessarily want your tattoo completely removed? We can discuss strategically fading the existing tattoo to give your tattoo artist a better canvas for a future cover-up.
