Tattoo Removal

What Works and What to Expect

What Actually Works

Laser removal (Pico and Q-switched) is the gold standard. It shatters ink particles for your body to flush out. Black and dark inks clear fastest. Colors like red, orange, and yellow take longer. Amateur tattoos fade quicker than professional saturated ones.

Realistic Timeline & Expectations

• 6–15 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart

• Significant fading after 4–6 treatments

• Complete removal is possible, or lighten for a coverup

• Pain level: like rubber band snaps

Side Effects

Temporary redness, swelling, blistering.

Pro Tips from Experience

Sun exposure before/during slows results. Follow aftercare strictly.
