Tattoo removal has evolved significantly, and our Q-switched Nd:YAG laser technology offers safe, effective treatment to fade or completely remove unwanted tattoos. Whether your tattoo no longer fits your image or you simply want a fresh start, we can help you achieve clear skin with minimal scarring.
Our advanced Q-switched Nd:YAG laser delivers ultra-short pulses of light energy that pass through the skin and are absorbed by tattoo ink particles. This energy breaks down the ink into microscopic fragments that your body’s immune system gradually eliminates through natural processes.
Selective Targeting - Laser wavelengths specifically target ink pigments Ink Fragmentation - High-energy pulses shatter ink particles Natural Elimination - Body’s lymphatic system clears fragmented ink Progressive Fading - Each session lightens the tattoo further
Number of Sessions Needed:
During Treatment: Sensation similar to rubber band snapping; cooling helps comfort After Treatment: Whitening, redness, and possible blistering (normal healing response) Days Following: Scabbing and gradual healing over 1-2 weeks Between Sessions: 6-8 weeks to allow complete healing and ink clearance

Ready to remove your unwanted tattoo? Schedule a consultation to assess your tattoo and create a personalized treatment plan for achieving clear, ink-free skin.
Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Amateur tattoos often fade faster than professional ones due to shallower ink placement.
Some discomfort is expected, often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. We offer topical numbing and cooling to maximize comfort.
Black and dark blue inks respond best to laser treatment. Green and light blue may require more sessions. Our Q-switched Nd:YAG laser effectively treats most colors.
When performed properly with appropriate aftercare, scarring is minimal. Pre-existing scarring from the original tattoo may become visible once ink is removed.
The laser delivers light pulses that break down ink particles into smaller fragments. Your body's immune system then naturally eliminates these particles over time.
