Laser Tattoo Removal

What is Tattoo Removal?
Laser energy is delivered to the tattoo, targeting the ink and breaking it down into smaller particles. The particles are eliminated through the body’s natural processes resulting in a lightening of the tattoo ink.

How many treatments will tattoo removal require?
The number of laser treatments needed for tattoo removal is dependent on a number of variables such as ink type, size of the tattoo, location on the body, type of laser used, lifestyle habits, etc. During your consultation, a practitioner will evaluate your tattoo and recommend a realistic treatment regime to help you achieve the best
results.

Treatment Pricing

Due to the fact that laser procedures are contingent on tattoo type, size of the area, and ink color, we ask you to come in for a consultation. After this assessment, we will be able to better address your needs and price out the best package to yield the most optimal results
