Unwanted Tattoos

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Tattoo ink is deposited in the skin and gradually enclosed by the body. Laser energy can fragment selected pigment so the immune system can clear smaller particles over time.

How Is It Evaluated?

Assessment considers ink colors, professional versus amateur placement, scarring, skin tone, location, health history, and prior treatments.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

Laser sessions are spaced to allow healing and pigment clearance. Multiple sessions are usually required, and complete removal cannot be guaranteed.

How many tattoo-removal sessions will I need?

The number varies widely with ink color, density, depth, tattoo age, location, and individual response. A consultation provides a more useful estimate.
