Session number depends on tattoo size, color, ink depth, age and immune response. Small black tattoos may clear in 3–6 sessions; larger, multicolor or older pieces often need 8–12+ treatments spaced weeks apart for safe, effective fading.

Most clients describe mild to moderate discomfort similar to a rubber band snap. We minimize pain with topical numbing, continuous cooling, and tailored settings; stronger anesthesia options are available for sensitive areas or anxious patients.

Our multi-wavelength lasers target a broad spectrum of pigments—black, blue, green and many reds. Light or pastel inks like yellow and some fluorescent pigments can be resistant; we assess each tattoo and recommend the best approach.

Laser removal can be safe across skin tones when systems and parameters are customized. Darker skin has higher pigment-change risk; we perform expert consultation, test patches, and conservative settings to minimize scarring or color changes.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanners for at least two weeks. Arrive with clean, shaved skin; avoid topical retinoids or chemical peels beforehand. Disclose medications and medical history during consultation for safe treatment planning.

Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, topical ointment, and keeping the area protected from sun. Expect temporary redness, scabbing, and fading over weeks. Avoid picking scabs, use SPF, and wait required intervals between treatments for optimal healing.
