Getting Lasered
Q Aftercare
The more you ice after treatment, the better you’ll heal. Keep it dry for a few days, stay out of bacteria-heavy places (pools, gyms, hot tubs), and protect from sun. Questions? Text us.

Q How Long Does Tattoo Removal Take?
We don’t know. And anyone who says they does isn’t being honest.
It’s generally not a one-and-done sort of situation. How long it takes depends on so many factors: including your goals, your tattoo, your lifestyle and health, and your laser tech.
Q How Tattoo Removal Works
Laser tattoo removal uses photoacoustic energy to shatter pigment into tiny particles that your body flushes through its renal system.
This partnership of technology and your body’s natural processes requires adequate spacing between sessions for best results.
Q How To Switch Laser Tattoo Removal Providers
