Laser Tattoo Removal

• What Happens: Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with our certified laser technician. We'll assess your tattoo's size, age, ink colors, and depth, as well as your skin type and medical history. This is your opportunity to ask any questions you have.

• Our Goal: To understand your specific needs and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your tattoo and desired outcome (complete removal or fading for a cover-up). We'll also provide a clear estimate of the number of sessions likely needed.

• Preparation: Before each session, we'll cleanse the treatment area. Topical numbing cream or a cooling device may be used to enhance your comfort.

• The Laser Process: The laser handpiece is gently passed over your tattoo. You'll hear a rapid snapping sound and feel quick pulses, often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. These pulses deliver energy to shatter the ink particles.

• Session Length: Treatment times are typically very fast, ranging from a few seconds for small tattoos to 15-30 minutes for larger ones, depending on the tattoo's size and complexity.

1. • Immediate Aftercare: Immediately after treatment, you may notice temporary frosting (a white residue), redness, and slight swelling, similar to a sunburn. We'll apply a soothing ointment and a sterile dressing to protect the treated area.

   • At-Home Care: You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. This typically includes keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from picking at any scabs or blisters that may form.

   • Healing Time: The treated area will usually heal within 1-2 weeks after each session. You'll notice gradual fading as your body works to clear the shattered ink particles between appointments. Consistent aftercare is crucial for best results.
