Tattoo Removal FAQs
Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions spaced 6-12 weeks apart. Professional tattoos typically need more sessions than amateur ones. Factors affecting sessions needed include ink color, depth, density, location on body, and your immune response. During consultation, we'll estimate how many sessions your specific tattoo may require.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting tattooed - a quick snapping or rubber band sensation. We use numbing creams and cooling devices to maximize comfort. Pain level depends on tattoo location (more sensitive areas hurt more) and your personal pain tolerance. The procedure is much quicker than getting a tattoo.
Black and dark blue inks respond best to treatment. Lighter colors like green, turquoise, yellow and fluorescent inks are more challenging. White ink can sometimes turn darker when treated. Modern picosecond lasers have improved removal of difficult colors. During consultation, we'll assess your tattoo colors and recommend the best approach.
Keep treated area clean and dry for 24-48 hours. Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with bandage if blisters form. Avoid picking at scabs. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen once healed to prevent pigmentation changes. Avoid swimming, hot tubs and excessive sweating for 1 week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment.
While most tattoos can be significantly faded or completely removed, some may leave slight ghosting or texture changes. Complete removal depends on factors like ink composition, depth, colors, and your body's ability to clear broken-down ink. Older tattoos generally remove easier than new ones. We're typically able to achieve 90-95% clearance with proper treatment.
