TATTOO REMOVAL REVIEWS
More Frequently Asked Questions for tattoo removal
Will the Tattoo Disappear Completely?
Often times it will. Under optimum conditions, up to 97% of the fading of the Tattoo can be eliminated. However, since we do not know the exact specifics on the ink used, how deep the ink is below the skin, it is impossible to predict the exact degree of removal of any specific Tattoo. Some ink colors respond better than others. Dark blue/ black inks typically respond and fade very well. Purple and orange inks also fade very well. Green and yellow inks are the most difficult to remove.
Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?
Some people describe the procedure as similar to having an elastic band being snapped on your skin. A topical anesthetic may be used to minimize any discomfort.
This must be applied 45 minutes prior to your treatment.
You can purchase this in advance at one of our locations.
Does Laser Tattoo Removal cause Scarring?
Risk of scarring is very low - under 5%. It is important that each patient follow our after care instructions to reduce scarring risk.
How many Tattoo Removal sessions will I need?
The number of treatments really depends on many variables: type of ink used, depth of the ink under the skin and the patient's skin type and condition. It can take as few as 3 sessions to as many as 12 sessions, and they must be spaced at least 6+ weeks apart.
The procedure itself takes approximately 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo and the location.
