HOW IT WORKS
Breaking up ink, one session at a time
The laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break tattoo ink into tiny particles. Over the following weeks, your body's immune system gradually clears those particles away, and the tattoo fades a little more after each session.
The MedLite C6's 1064 nm wavelength is considered one of the safest options for melanin-rich skin, which is why we chose it for our studio.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your tattoo removal journey
- 1
Consultation
We look at your tattoo, review your skin and history, and talk through your goals. A quick virtual Good Faith Exam confirms you're a safe candidate and stays valid for up to one year.
- 2
Treatment
Sessions are fast. Most clients describe a quick snapping feeling, like a rubber band, and we use cooling when appropriate.
- 3
Healing
Whitening, redness and swelling right after treatment are normal, and blisters or scabs can form within 8 to 72 hours. Primary healing is usually complete within about 4 weeks.
- 4
Next session
Sessions are spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart so your skin can heal and your body can clear the ink. Your tattoo keeps fading between visits.
REAL RESULTS
Tattoo removal progress
Results vary by client. This photo shows progress after just 2 sessions. Full tattoo removal takes several sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart.
How many sessions will I need?
Every tattoo is different, and most need several sessions for full removal. The number depends on the ink colors and density, how deep and how old the tattoo is, where it is on your body, and how your body heals. Darker inks usually respond best, and some colors can take longer. We'll give you an estimate at your consultation.

FAQ
Laser tattoo removal questions
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most clients describe a quick snapping feeling, like a rubber band. Sessions are fast, and we use cooling when appropriate.
How many sessions does it take to remove a tattoo?
Most tattoos need several sessions for full removal, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. Ink color, density, depth, age, location and your body's healing all play a part. You'll get an estimate at your consultation.
Can you fade a tattoo for a cover-up?
Yes. Many clients come in to lighten a tattoo before a cover-up, which usually takes fewer sessions than full removal. Let us know your goal at your consultation.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for dark skin?
We use the MedLite C6, whose 1064 nm wavelength is considered one of the safest options for melanin-rich skin. We review your skin at your consultation, and a Good Faith Exam is required before treatment. Temporary pigment changes can happen and usually resolve.
What is the aftercare like?
Keep the area clean, dry and covered for the first few days, don't pick blisters or scabs, avoid soaking, and protect it from the sun between sessions. See the full aftercare instructions.
How much does tattoo removal cost?
Cost depends on the size of your tattoo and how many sessions you need. Starting prices are listed on our booking menu, and your exact cost is confirmed at your consultation. Payment plans are available.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. A consultation is required before any new treatment, and laser treatments also require a quick virtual Good Faith Exam.
Ready to say goodbye to that tattoo?
