What is laser tattoo removal?
Nearly 25% people who have a tattoo in the U.S. say they regret getting it. If you’re in that 25%, there is good news.
Laser tattoo removal is a treatment to help diminish the appearance of unwanted tattoos. Laser tattoo removal can significantly diminish the appearance of your unwanted tattoo with minimal side effects.
How does Laser Tattoo Removal work?
During this treatment, technicians use lasers to send out high-intensity pulses of light that target the ink inside your tattoo. As the ink absorbs these pulses of light, it begins to heat up. This heat makes the ink break into tiny pieces, which your immune system can then clear away. Your tattoo starts to fade as the ink goes away.
Why should I consider Laser Tattoo removal?
- CHANGE OF HEART
Tattoos that once felt empowering or meaningful may no longer represent your current identity, lifestyle, or taste. - POOR QUALITY
If you’re not happy with your tattoo, laser tattoo removal can fade the existing design enough for a cover-up or remove it entirely. - RESTORED CONFIDENCE
Many clients talk about feeling more comfortable in their own skin after removing an unwanted tattoo. It can feel like wiping the slate clean—literally. - NON-INVASIVE SOLUTION
Compared to surgery or dermabrasion, laser tattoo removal is far less invasive, has shorter recovery times, and involves fewer risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?
Laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, but there are ways to help deal with the pain.
Before they start using the laser on you, your doctor will give you numbing cream or a shot of numbing medication in the area they’re treating. They can also do a small test patch to see how painful the laser is for you, and to make sure it’s working well.
After a treatment session, your skin might feel sore or swollen. You can put an ice on it to make it feel better. Your doctor might also tell you to take an over-the-counter pain medicine like ibuprofen or acetaminophen before or after your treatment sessions.
How much pain you feel will depend on where your tattoo is, the kind of lasers your doctor uses, and other details. Some people say that the laser feels like a rubber band being snapped against their skin. Other people think it hurts about the same or less than it did to get the tattoo. Tell your doctor if you feel a lot of pain during or after a treatment session.
What you should expect during a Laser Tattoo Removal session?
- The technician will answer any questions and make sure it’s OK with you to go ahead. Let them know if you have any concerns.
- They might take a picture of your tattoo to show the “before” and “after.”
- You’ll be given a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes, and the doctor or technician will clean your skin and let it dry.
- If you have darker skin, your doctor might put a cold pack or cooling gel on the area.
- The technician will either give you a shot of numbing medication or put numbing cream on the area they’re going to be treating.
- They might do a quick test patch to see how your skin reacts. This will help them decide what kind of lasers and techniques will give you the best results.
- The technician will use the laser to pass pulses of light through your skin. The ink in your tattoo absorbs this light and starts to break up. They might pass the laser over your tattoo at least a few times, and sometimes they wait a little while in between passes.
- It can be uncomfortable, but tell your doctor or technician if you’re in a lot of pain so that they can change what they’re doing, if needed.
Does Laser Tattoo Removal Cause Scars?
All tattoo removal methods can leave lasting scars where your tattoo was. Out of all the different ways of getting rid of tattoos, laser tattoo removal has lower chances of leaving scars, but it can still happen.
Right after a laser tattoo removal session, you might have blisters, scabs, or flaky skin on the area they treated. It might also be itchy. It can be tempting to scratch or pick at it, but you are more likely to get scars that last if you do.
If you find yourself picking, apply petroleum jelly or a moisturizer, and cover the area or put an ice pack on it to stop yourself.
Keeping the area clean and protecting it from the sun while it heals also helps prevent scars. Make sure to wear sunscreen and cover the treated area if you have to be in the sun.
Can Laser Tattoo Removal completely remove tattoos?
Laser tattoo removal treatment can make most tattoos much harder to see, but it might not get rid of the tattoo completely. Even if you can’t see the tattoo itself anymore, you might also have a scar, or a patch that’s darker or lighter than the skin around it.
Before you start treatment, your doctor should do a thorough exam and ask you a lot of questions about your tattoo and your health. This will help them guess how well laser tattoo removal might work for you, and what your tattoo might look like at the end of treatment. They should let you know what to expect and how much your tattoo might fade.
How many laser tattoo removal sessions does it take to remove a tattoo?
Everyone is different, and tattoos respond to treatment differently. Laser tattoo removal can take anywhere from four to 15 sessions, or more. Doctors recommend waiting at least a month in between sessions so that your skin has time to heal and your immune system can get rid of the broken-down tattoo ink.
