About Laser Tattoo Removal

We use one of the most trusted and advanced Pico Lasers on the market. It holds up to four wavelengths (1064nm, 532nm, 585nm, 650nm) that treats all colors of ink, including black, gray, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, and red. The pulse duration fires at the speed of pico seconds, enabling  precise, safe, and effective treatment every time. This laser can also remove benign pigmented lesions, such as sunspots, freckles, birth marks, skin tags, and skin rejuvenation.

All permanent makeup can be removed with our lasers, including brows, lips, eyeliner, faux freckles, etc. Our lasers are equipped with the proper wavelengths to remove or fade all colors, including purples, blues, greens, yellows, oranges, reds, and of course black and gray. Note that some colors are more difficult than others for any laser on the market to remove.

Laser tattoo removal feels different for everyone. Some people say it feels like a rubber band snapping your skin, some say it feels like getting a tattoo. Most people end up saying "that wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be."A cryo machine is used throughout your entire treatment, blowing freezing cold air onto your tattoo to ensure comfort. We also offer numbing cream before the start of treatment at an additional cost. Note that it has been proven that pain sensitivity can vary throughout the month for people who menstruate, typically at its worst during the luteal phase, so keep that in mind when booking.

During a tattoo, ink is injected into the dermis of the skin. Your body attempts to remove this foreign substance (the ink), and that's why tattoos fade naturally over time. Lasers shoot high-intensity light beams through the top layer of the skin, hitting the pigment. The ink absorbs the energy, shattering the ink into smaller particles, making it easier for the body to remove this foreign substance through the lymphatic system. Note that removal and fading is generally slower for tattoos where there is less blood flow, such as fingers, wrists, feet, and lower legs.

Those with darker skin (Fitz V-VI) have a higher risk of side effects with ANY laser treatment, including tattoo removal. With the appropriate laser and proper knowledge, settings are tailored to protect the skin.

Laser tattoo removal can cause temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, pain, bruising, itching, pinpoint bleeding, scabbing, crusting, blistering, and temporary skin color darkening or lightening. Infection, permanent scarring, and permanent hypo/hyperpigmentation changes are rare but possible risks with any laser procedure. Treatment may reactivate pre-existing skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, or HSV. Allergic reactions are very rare but have been reported if the tattoo ink contains Mercury, Cobalt, or Chromium. Tattoos with Iron oxide can turn red-brown or black upon laser treatment. Tattoos with Titanium oxide (typically white ink), can also turn black upon laser treatment (oxidation). There is no way for us to tell what elements are in your tattoo, but rest assured that majority of tattoo ink used over the past few decades is hypoallergenic.
