The art of tattoo removal is almost as old as the art of tattooing. Many methods of tattoo removal have been used in the past, but they have proven to do more harm than good.

Today, lasers are the most common method of tattoo removal. Tattoo removal lasers deliver light at a very high speed which fragments the tattoo ink into tiny particles. The ink is then removed by your body’s immune system. The light is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink without harming the surrounding tissue. Gradual fading is seen with each treatment.

Most professional tattoos require 6-10 treatments, amateur will require 3-5 treatments. Treatments are performed every 8 weeks. Because each tattoo is unique, removal techniques are customized to each individual.
