BODY TATTOO LASER REMOVAL

Most people describe the sensation of tattoo removal with the nd YAG laser as similar to an elastic band snapping against the skin. While this might be a bit uncomfortable, the majority of clients find it tolerable. Additionally, it's important to note that each treatment session is typically very quick, with most tattoos being treated in just a matter of minutes.

Body Tattoo removal is a gradual process. Several factors influence how quickly a tattoo fades during the removal process. These include the effectiveness of the client's immune system in flushing out the broken-down ink particles, the depth at which the ink was placed in the skin, the colors of the ink, and whether the tattoo was done professionally or not.

Because of these variables, it's difficult to predict the exact number of sessions required for complete removal. However, on average, most people achieve full removal within 8 to 15 treatments. Each person's experience is unique, and the number of sessions needed can vary based on these factors.

It's important to allow your skin to fully heal after each tattoo removal session. To ensure the best results and avoid any complications, we schedule treatments no sooner than every 6 weeks initially.

This gradual approach helps maximize effectiveness while protecting your skin.
