Tattoo Removal Treatments

The number of treatments that it will take to remove a tattoo depends on a number of factors. These include the age of the tattoo; the colors used, the type of ink, as well as how long it has been in place. However, on your first visit we will be able to give you an estimate of the number of treatments needed.

How Does Tattoo Removal Feel?

There is some amount of pain involved in getting a tattoo removed, but it’s not quite as painful as it was getting it inked. However, laser tattoo removal is a lot faster. Also, there is the added benefit of anesthetic options such as numbing cream, or a local anesthesia injection, to minimize the discomfort.

After laser treatment, you can expect some swelling, and the area may also blister, or bleed slightly. Daily care is required to prevent infection and ensure that the area heals well. The tattoo will gradually fade, and after 6-8 weeks another laser treatment will be performed. Fading will take several months, and treatment periods will be spaced further apart as time goes by.
