Q: Is laser tattoo removal painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

Laser tattoo removal uses focused light energy to break down tattoo ink particles. The laser emits specific wavelengths that target tattoo ink, breaking ink particles into tiny fragments. Your body’s immune system then removes the broken-down ink over weeks. With multiple treatments, the tattoo fades completely.
