Small Tattoo

Laser tattoo removal works by targeting pigment colors in the skin’s dermis—the layer beneath your epidermis. The tattoo ink absorbs the laser energy and breaks apart into tiny fragments, which are then gradually absorbed and eliminated by your body’s natural processes.

You’ll need several treatment sessions before noticing a significant difference. The exact number depends on factors such as the amount and type of ink used, the colors, and how deeply the ink sits in the skin. On average, most tattoos require 6–10 sessions for optimal fading or removal. Keep in mind that there must be at least eight weeks between treatments to allow your body time to absorb and eliminate the pigment residue naturally.

Most people say it feels like a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin. It can be a little uncomfortable, but it’s manageable. We can use numbing cream or cooling techniques to make your session more comfortable.

Most tattoos can be faded or fully removed, but results depend on the colors, ink quality, and your skin type. Darker inks and older tattoos are usually easier to remove, while bright colors like blue, green, or yellow may only fade.

Before your session, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks. Afterward, keep the area clean, moisturized, and protected from the sun. Don’t pick at any scabs or blisters—it’s part of the normal healing process. Follow your aftercare instructions carefully for the best results.

You may experience minor bleeding, redness, swelling, or blistering for a few hours or days after treatment. Over the next few weeks, the treated area may flake, peel, or scab as your skin heals—this is completely normal. Be gentle with the area, avoid sun exposure and public swimming pools while it’s healing, and don’t pick at the skin. If any side effects bother you or don’t seem to be improving, let your laser technician know right away.

Anyone in good health who wants to fade or remove a tattoo can be a candidate. Non-smokers and people who maintain a healthy lifestyle usually see faster results. With modern laser technology, most skin types can be treated safely and effectively.

We use the Q-switch laser by Alma lasers, one of the most trusted technologies in tattoo removal. Q-switch lasers produce extremely short, high-power light pulses that break tattoo pigments into tiny fragments without damaging the surrounding skin.

Scarring is very rare, especially when you follow aftercare instructions carefully. If your tattoo already had scar tissue, it may remain even after the ink fades.
