Laser energy is directed at the tattooed area for a fraction of a second, passing harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and targeting the tattoo ink directly. The laser disrupts the ink, allowing your body to absorb it and break it down naturally.

The process is not immediate. After the treatment, the ink that was exposed to the laser will break down and be removed by your body's immune system over a period of weeks. Once that process is complete, you can come in for your next visit, repeating the process until the tattoo is gone. Most tattoos average 5 to 15 treatments for full removal—some take longer and rarely may be complete after just a few visits. Some ink colors are harder to target and require more sessions. Because it is your body that actually breaks down the ink, every person's removal process will be different.
