General Questions
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We use advanced cooling technology to minimize discomfort. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and only takes a few minutes per session.
Pricing & Payment
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
Pricing depends on tattoo size, age, colors, and location. Small tattoos (up to 2"x2") start at $199 per session. Medium tattoos (2"x2" to 4"x4") are $299 per session. Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for complete removal. We offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make tattoo removal accessible. You can pay per session or purchase a package at a discounted rate. We also accept most major credit cards and offer financing options through third-party providers.
The Process
How many sessions will I need?
Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Factors affecting the number of sessions include tattoo size, age, ink colors, and your skin type. Black ink typically requires fewer sessions than colored ink. During your free consultation, we'll provide a personalized estimate.
How long does each session take?
Each treatment session typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of your tattoo. The actual laser treatment is very quick - most of the time is spent on preparation and aftercare instructions.
What is the recovery time?
There's minimal downtime after laser tattoo removal. You can return to normal activities immediately, but you should avoid sun exposure and keep the treated area clean. Some redness and slight swelling may occur for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn.
How do I prepare for my first session?
Before your first session, avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks, keep the tattoo area clean and moisturized, and don't apply any numbing creams unless specifically recommended. During your free consultation, we'll provide detailed preparation instructions tailored to your specific situation.
Safety & Side Effects
Is laser tattoo removal safe?
Yes, laser tattoo removal is FDA-approved and considered safe when performed by trained professionals. We use state-of-the-art PicoSure and Q-switched lasers that target only the ink particles, leaving surrounding skin tissue unharmed. All our technicians are certified and experienced.
Can I get a tattoo removed if I have darker skin?
Yes! Our advanced laser technology is safe for all skin tones. We use specific wavelengths and settings optimized for different skin types to ensure safe and effective treatment while minimizing the risk of pigmentation changes.
Results & Expectations
What colors are hardest to remove?
Black and dark blue inks are typically the easiest to remove. Yellow, green, and fluorescent colors can be more challenging and may require additional sessions. However, with our advanced laser technology, we can effectively treat all ink colors.
