FAQs on Laser Tattoo Treatments at Prestige Skin & Body

  • How does laser tattoo removal work?

    Laser tattoo removal uses high-energy light pulses to break down ink particles beneath the skin. Over time, your body’s natural immune system flushes out these particles, causing the tattoo to gradually fade with each session.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    The number of sessions depends on factors such as tattoo size, ink depth, colors, age, and skin type. On average, most tattoos require 5-10 sessions for full removal, while fading for a cover-up may take fewer treatments.

  • Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

    You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but a cooling system and numbing options are available to minimize discomfort. Most clients find the procedure tolerable and quick.

  • What colors can be removed?

    Black ink is the easiest to remove, while colors like red, blue, and green may require additional sessions. Our advanced laser technology is designed to target a wide range of ink colors effectively.

  • Will laser tattoo removal leave a scar?

    When performed by experienced professionals, laser tattoo removal does not typically cause scarring. Following aftercare instructions—such as avoiding sun exposure and picking at the skin—helps ensure smooth healing.

  • How long should I wait between sessions?

    To allow your skin time to heal and your body to process the broken-down ink, we recommend waiting 6-8 weeks between sessions. This ensures the best possible fading results with minimal risk to the skin.

  • Can I remove part of a tattoo instead of the whole thing

    Yes! Laser tattoo removal can be targeted to remove specific areas of a tattoo while leaving the rest intact, making it perfect for tattoo modifications or corrections.

  • What should I do before my laser tattoo removal session?

    Avoid sun exposure & tanning for at least two weeks.
    Keep the area clean & free from lotions or creams on the day of treatment.
    Stay hydrated and well-rested for optimal skin recovery.
    Avoid blood-thinning medications (if possible) before your session.

  • Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types?

    Yes! Our advanced laser technology is designed to safely treat a variety of skin tones while minimizing risks. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type and customize the treatment for the best results.

  • What is the aftercare for laser tattoo removal?

    Keep the area clean & dry for the first 24 hours.
    Avoid hot showers, saunas, or swimming for a few days.
    Use soothing gels or creams as recommended by your specialist.
    Avoid picking or scratching the treated area.
    Protect the skin from direct sun exposure using SPF 50+ sunscreen.

  • Can I get a new tattoo after laser removal?

    Yes! Once the area has fully healed (typically 6-12 weeks after your last session), you can safely tattoo over it. Many clients choose laser fading for better cover-up results with a new tattoo.
