We use the Discovery Pico laser, a picosecond laser that shatters ink particles into microscopic fragments so your body can clear them more efficiently than with older, slower lasers. The Discovery Pico’s broad range of laser wavelengths allows us to treat the full spectrum of ink colors, including more stubborn colors like blue and green.

Most tattoos require 6 to 10 sessions, and where you land in that range depends on your tattoo’s ink color, density, size, and location, along with your own skin type. If you’re fading a tattoo to prepare for a cover-up rather than going for full removal, you may need fewer sessions. Because every tattoo is different, we build your specific session plan around your tattoo and skin at a complimentary consultation rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all number.

Tattoo removal sessions are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. That waiting period gives your body time to naturally clear out the ink fragments the laser has broken down before we treat the area again, and it also allows your skin to fully heal between sessions.

Results vary by client — some tattoos clear completely, while others fade significantly, depending on the ink colors involved, how dense the ink is, your skin tone, and the tattoo’s age. Black ink clears most easily since it absorbs all laser wavelengths, while colors like blue and green can be more stubborn and, especially on darker skin tones, may not fully clear due to the limitations of the wavelengths available. We’ll give you an honest, realistic expectation for your specific tattoo at your consultation rather than a blanket promise of full clearance.

The Discovery Pico is safe for all skin tones, though we take extra precautions with darker skin tones, especially when treating blue and green ink, since those colors can be more difficult to fully clear without affecting the surrounding skin pigment. Beyond skin tone, factors like your tattoo’s age, ink density, and location on the body all factor into your treatment plan and expected results. We review these details, along with your health history, at your complimentary consultation so we can build a plan that’s appropriate and safe for you specifically.

This is exactly why we require a consultation before treatment. Rather than guess at a generic list that may not apply to your situation, your Laser Specialist will review your health history and assess your skin and treatment area individually at your complimentary consultation, and let you know clearly if anything needs to be addressed first.

Yes — every laser tattoo removal package starts with a complimentary consultation. This gives your Laser Specialist the chance to assess your skin type, treatment area, and goals so we can build a customized, safe treatment plan and give you transparent pricing before you commit to anything.
