Tattoo removal is also often desired when it fades and deforms with age, interferes with employment, or becomes outdated. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Most tattoos, may clear in 4-8 treatments. The laser treatment feels like a hot rubber band snapping, similar to the discomfort experienced when getting a tattoo. We use a topical and/or local anesthetic to reduce or eliminate pain during your treatment.While in most cases we can achieve complete clearing, because of the great variability in the chemical makeup of different inks we cannot promise that the entire tattoo will completely disappear.
