Before Your Treatment

Preparing for laser tattoo removal is essential to achieving the best results. Before your first session:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks.
  • Discontinue products like retinol or glycolic acid that could make your skin more sensitive.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine to promote healing.

Your provider will give you specific instructions to ensure your skin is ready for treatment.

During Your Treatment

Numbing Cream

A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the session to minimize discomfort.

The Procedure

The laser emits concentrated energy pulses that target the tattoo ink, breaking it into smaller particles that your body can naturally eliminate.

Duration

The entire process may last about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Many patients compare the sensation to the snap of a rubber band, and we do everything possible to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

After Your Treatment

Post-treatment care is crucial for optimal healing and results. After your session:

  • Expect mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area.
  • Refrain from applying heavy makeup, perfumed products, or hot water to the area for several days.

Your provider will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your skin recover smoothly and effectively.

FAQs About Tattoo Removal

The number of sessions depends on the tattoo’s size, color, location, and skin type. Most tattoos require five to ten sessions spaced about eight weeks apart.
