What to Expect
What to Expect During This Treatment
01
A consultation assesses the tattoo's size, color, ink depth, and skin tone to set realistic expectations.
02
During treatment, the laser delivers pulses of energy to the tattooed area. You may feel a snapping or stinging sensation — a cooling device or numbing cream can be used for comfort.
03
Some redness, mild swelling, or blistering post-treatment is normal and expected.
04
The body gradually breaks down and absorbs the fragmented ink over 4–8 weeks between sessions.
05
Multiple sessions are required — the number varies based on tattoo size, color complexity, and how the skin responds.
