How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short pulses of high-intensity light energy to shatter tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. The Q-switched laser delivers energy so rapidly that it creates a photoacoustic effect - essentially shattering the ink into tiny fragments. These fragments are then recognized by your immune system and gradually flushed away through natural processes. Different wavelengths target different ink colors, which is why multiple treatment parameters may be used during a single session.

How Does It Work?
Consultation
Assessment of your tattoo (size, color, age, location, skin type) to create a realistic treatment plan and timeline.
Treatment
The laser delivers rapid pulses of energy targeted at the tattoo ink. You'll feel a snapping sensation similar to a rubber band.
Post-Treatment
The treated area may blister, scab, or appear frosty white immediately after. This is a normal healing response.
Healing
The area heals over 4-6 weeks. Your immune system gradually clears the shattered ink particles.
Progressive Fading
Each session fades the tattoo further. Sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions.
