What To Expect

The Process

Forms and legalities

Before your treatment begins, we’ll review your tattoo, skin type, and treatment history. We’ll discuss your goals and answer any questions you may have.

You’ll complete the necessary consent forms, and we’ll take before photos to document your progress throughout the removal process.

Pre Cooling of the skin

Before the laser treatment, we’ll cool the treatment area to help make the procedure more comfortable and protect the surrounding skin.

Cooling may continue throughout the treatment as needed.

The Laser

During treatment, You may feel a rubber band snapping on your skin, but pre cooling helps to minimize the discomfort

Treatment time varies depending on the size, color, location, and complexity of the tattoo.

It’s normal for the tattooed area to appear temporarily white or “frosted” immediately after treatment. Some redness, swelling, and sensitivity may also occur.

Aftercare and Cleanup

After your treatment, we’ll apply ointment to the treated area and wrap it.

Aftercare instructions will be provided to help the area heal properly and book your next session

Tattoo removal is a process, not a single treatment. Multiple sessions are typically needed, with time between treatments to allow your skin to heal and your body to clear the fragmented pigment.

Aftercare

Ice For 20 Minute Intervals

After treatment, apply a clean cold pack or ice pack wrapped in a cloth for approximately 20 minutes at a time. Allow the skin to return to normal temperature between applications.
This will help minimize damage from the treatment and help prevent swelling or irritation

Let Sit For An Hour

Keep the treated area covered with the bandage provided for approximately one hour after your treatment.

Gently Wash & Pat Dry

After removing the bandage, gently wash the area with mild soap and water. Do not scrub or exfoliate the treated skin. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.

Avoid Heat & Irritation

For the first few days, avoid activities that may cause excessive heat, sweating, or irritation to the treated area. This includes hot tubs, saunas, and strenuous exercise when the area is likely to become irritated.

Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing the treated area while it heals.

Elevate When Needed

If possible, take a day to rest and keep the area elevated above your heart to reduce swelling and discomfort.
