Will the tattoo be completely gone?

Benefits
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment, with only mild redness or swelling that subsides within days.
Safe for All Skin Types
Laser settings can be adjusted for darker or more sensitive skin tones, reducing risks and optimizing results across all patient profiles.
Precise & Targeted Treatment
Laser energy specifically targets ink particles without damaging surrounding skin, ensuring a controlled and accurate removal process.
Effective on Multiple Ink Colors
Advanced lasers can remove a wide spectrum of ink hues-from black and blue to reds and greens-often in fewer sessions than older tech.
Comfortable Treatment Options
Topical anesthetics or cooling devices help manage discomfort, making each session quick and more tolerable.
Boosts Confidence & Self-Expression
Removing an unwanted tattoo can restore clear skin, enhancing self-esteem and allowing you to move forward with a fresh start.
Gradual Fading for Cover-Ups
If you’re planning a cover-up, partial or staged removal allows precise fading, giving artists a cleaner canvas for your new design.
Long-Term Results
Once ink particles are broken down and expelled by your immune system, they won’t return, offering a permanent solution to unwanted tattoos.
Tattoo Removal
Pretreatment Care
Avoid Sun Exposure (2 Weeks Before)
Keep the treatment area out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds. Sunburned or tanned skin increases the risk of side effects.
Do Not Apply Products to the Area
On the day of your treatment, avoid lotions, creams, makeup, or deodorant on the tattooed area.
Shave the Area if Needed
If the tattoo is in a hairy area, gently shave the spot 24 hours before your appointment to allow clear access for the laser. Eyebrows do not need to be shaved.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Hydrated skin responds better to treatment and heals faster.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose loose, breathable clothing that allows easy access to the tattooed area and avoids friction after treatment.
Avoid Blood Thinners (24–48 Hours Before)
Unless prescribed, try to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or alcohol, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
Notify Us of Any Changes
Let your provider know if you are pregnant, nursing, taking new medications, or have had recent skin treatments or illnesses.
Eat a Light Meal Before Your Appointment
Having a small meal before treatment helps maintain your energy and comfort, especially if it's your first session.

Aftercare
Keep the Area Clean and Dry (First 24 Hours)
Gently cleanse with mild soap and water, then pat dry. Avoid soaking the area in water (no baths, swimming, or hot tubs).
Apply a Healing Ointment
Use an antibiotic ointment (like Aquaphor or Neosporin) 2–3 times daily for the first few days to protect the skin and aid healing.
Cover with a Sterile Bandage (First Day)
Keep the area loosely covered with a clean, non-stick bandage for the first 24 hours, especially if blisters or oozing occurs.
Avoid Picking or Shaving
Do not pick scabs or pop blisters. Let them heal naturally to avoid scarring or pigment changes. Avoid shaving the area until fully healed.
Avoid Sun Exposure (2–4 Weeks)
Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight. Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen once the skin has healed to prevent discoloration.
Avoid Intense Exercise (24–48 Hours)
Excessive sweating and friction can irritate the area. Take a break from heavy workouts for 1–2 days after treatment.
Do Not Apply Harsh Products
Avoid exfoliants, retinols, acids, or scented lotions on the treated area until fully healed.
Monitor for Side Effects
Mild redness, swelling, or blistering is normal. Contact your provider if you notice signs of infection like pus, extreme pain, or prolonged swelling.
