Tattoo removal has a reputation for being painful, but with advancing technology, the treatment process has become more comfortable. Most patients liken the experience to the same level of discomfort as getting the tattoo initially. Topical numbing cream may also be used to minimize this discomfort.
Because it takes time for the body to absorb and eliminate inks broken down during laser treatment, your tattoo removal sessions will be spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. The exact number of treatments needed will vary—it may be anywhere between 3 and 10 sessions. Treatments only take about 10-30 minutes and do not require any significant downtime.
