Ink and deep pigment need more than a surface treatment
Some dark spots sit near the surface, where peels, skincare and light treatments can reach. Tattoo ink and some dark patches sit much deeper. The pieces are too large for your body to clear, which is why ink stays put for years.
This laser breaks those pieces into much smaller ones, in pulses that last a tiny fraction of a second. Your body then clears them gradually between sessions, so the tattoo or patch can fade over time.
What to expect during treatment
Sessions take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on size. The pulses feel like a rubber band snapping quickly against your skin. Numbing and cooling are part of the plan.
Treated areas turn white right away, then settle within an hour. Tattoos may show tiny spots of bleeding and some swelling. The area stays tender for a few days, like a scrape, and we cover it before you leave.
Who it’s for
It’s for you if you want to fade a tattoo or a deep dark patch, gradually, and you’re ready to keep the area out of the sun during your series. Black and dark blue ink tend to respond most predictably. Some colors fade only partly, and we’ll tell you which at your exam.
On skin tone: this laser puts less of its energy into the pigment in your skin than other lasers do. That makes it the most conservative laser choice for pigment work in darker skin, and it’s why we chose it. We still check your skin tone first and use a test spot when needed.
It isn’t a treatment for melasma, which starts with sun protection and skincare. Any spot that looks unusual gets a medical check before any laser.
How we do it
Not bookable yet. Georgia requires an exam by a qualified provider before this kind of laser treatment. We’re setting that up now. Until it’s in place, this treatment can’t be scheduled.
Once it is, your visit starts with your skin, not the machine: a skin tone check, a close look at the ink or pigment, a test spot when needed, then sessions 6–8 weeks apart so your body has time to clear what’s been broken up. If something else will serve your skin better, we’ll tell you. We take photos at every session to track fading.
Downtime and aftercare
- Keep the area clean and dry for 24 hours. We’ll cover it before you leave.
- Expect tenderness, redness and some swelling for a few days. Blisters can form on tattoos; leave them alone.
- Don’t pick at crusting or flaking skin.
- Skip pools, baths and hot tubs until the skin has healed.
- Cover up or wear SPF on the area for your whole series.
- You’ll get written aftercare after every session.
Results timeline
Fading happens between sessions, not during them. The white look settles within an hour, and the skin heals over 1–2 weeks. Your body then clears the broken-up ink or pigment over the following weeks. We check progress at 6–8 weeks, which sets the pace: often 1–3 sessions for deep pigment, and often 6–10 or more for tattoos.
Pricing
Prices will be published when this treatment becomes available, per session and based on the size of the area. Tattoo removal takes several sessions, so at your exam we’ll give you a realistic range instead of a hopeful single number. We don’t sell packages before we’ve seen your skin.
Questions and answers
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
Prices will be published when this treatment becomes available, usually per session and based on the size of the area. We don’t quote prices before then.
Can I book this now?
Not yet. Georgia requires an exam by a qualified provider before this kind of laser treatment, and we’re setting that up now. The waitlist records your interest. It isn’t a booking.
Will my tattoo come off completely?
Complete removal isn’t always possible. Results depend on ink color, depth, how much ink there is, the tattoo’s age and your skin. Some tattoos fade a lot; some leave a faint shadow. Your exam gives you an honest read.
How many sessions does tattoo removal take?
Often 6–10 or more, 6–8 weeks apart, so your body has time to clear the ink between visits. Deep dark patches often need fewer, sometimes 1–3. Anyone giving a fixed number before seeing your tattoo is guessing.
Does it hurt?
It feels like a rubber band snapping quickly against your skin. Sessions are short, and numbing and cooling are part of the plan. The area stays tender for a few days.
Can it darken or burn my skin?
It can leave lighter or darker patches, and that’s more likely on brown and deeper skin. That’s why we chose this laser: it’s the most conservative laser choice for pigment work in darker skin. We still check your skin tone first, use a test spot when needed, and start gently.
Can this laser treat melasma?
We don’t use lasers for melasma, because heat can make it worse. We start with sun protection and skincare, then an assessment.
Can you treat sun spots and freckles with this?
Sun spots and freckles sit near the surface. For light to olive skin, those are usually a conversation about an IPL photofacial. This laser is for pigment that sits deeper. Your exam tells us which kind you have.
What does my skin look like right after?
Treated areas turn white right away, then settle within an hour. Redness, swelling and tiny spots of bleeding on tattoos can follow, then a few days of tenderness.
