How does laser tattoo removal work?

Laser tattoo removal works by using focused light beams to break down tattoo ink particles into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally removed by your body's immune system over time. The process typically requires multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on several factors, including:

• Tattoo size and location
• Ink colors and density
• Your skin type
• Age of the tattoo

Most people need 6-12 sessions for complete removal, though some tattoos may require more or fewer sessions.

How much does tattoo removal cost?

Costs vary depending on the size, complexity, and number of sessions required. Generally:

• Small tattoos: $200-500 per session
• Medium tattoos: $400-700 per session
• Large tattoos: $600-1000+ per session
