Laser tattoo removal works by delivering highly concentrated pulses of light to the tattooed area. This breaks apart the ink particles, which are then gradually eliminated by your body’s immune system. Over a series of treatments, the tattoo fades until it is barely visible or completely gone.
What to Expect During Treatment
Laser tattoo removal is a quick, non-invasive procedure, but knowing what to expect can help you prepare:
- Pain Level: Most clients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap against the skin. A cooling system helps minimize discomfort.
- Treatment Time: Sessions typically last 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the tattoo’s size and complexity.
- Healing Process: Redness and swelling are normal immediately after treatment, but this fades within a few days. The tattoo will begin to lighten over the following weeks.
Factors That Affect Tattoo Removal
Not all tattoos fade at the same rate. Several factors influence how quickly your tattoo will disappear:
- Ink Color: Darker inks (black, blue) fade faster, while lighter colors (yellow, white, pastels) require more sessions.
- Tattoo Depth & Age: Older tattoos and amateur tattoos are usually easier to remove than deep-set professional tattoos.
- Skin Type & Location: Tattoos on areas with good circulation (like arms) fade faster than those on hands, feet, or ankles.
Aftercare and Healing Process
- Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
- Avoid sun exposure, as UV rays can interfere with the fading process.
- Apply a healing ointment (recommended by us) to keep skin moisturized.
- Expect some redness, swelling, and possible light scabbing—this is normal and will subside within a few days.

Glow & Know
How many sessions will I need to fully remove my tattoo?
The number of sessions varies based on factors like ink color, depth, age of the tattoo, and skin type. On average, most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for full removal, with treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow your body time to clear the ink. Some lighter or older tattoos may fade faster, while stubborn ink colors may take longer.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. While some discomfort is expected, we use cooling technology to minimize pain and ensure a more comfortable experience. If needed, a numbing cream can also be applied before treatment.
Will laser tattoo removal leave a scar?
When performed correctly by a trained professional, laser tattoo removal should not cause scarring. Any temporary redness, swelling, or scabbing will heal naturally over time. Following proper aftercare, such as avoiding sun exposure and keeping the area moisturized, will help promote smooth, healthy skin.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Darker colors like black and dark blue absorb laser energy more easily and fade the fastest. Lighter colors such as yellow, white, and pastels can take more sessions to break down completely. Our advanced laser technology is designed to target a wide range of ink colors, making removal effective for most tattoos.
What should I do before and after my tattoo removal session?
Before Treatment: Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks. Keep the skin clean and free of lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.
After Treatment: Keep the area clean, dry, and moisturized, avoid sun exposure, and do not pick at any scabbing or blistering that may occur. Following proper aftercare ensures the best fading results with minimal side effects.
