Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo regret, you’re not alone. With over 40 million people tattooed, nearly 25% want them now removed. What once seemed like a good idea at the time now is a lifetime of regret. With all the potions and creams and other removal myths out there, what is the best way to remove a tattoo?

Why use a laser?

Have you ever notice that darker color clothes and apparel attract the sun’s rays. Using the proper beam of light and q-switch technology we are able to disrupt the ink underneath the epidermal layer.

How does it work?

Laser energy is directed at the tattooed area for a matter of milliseconds, passing harmlessly through the epidermis and targeting the tattoo ink directly. The laser works as chisel to disrupts and break down the ink, allowing your body to absorb the smaller fragments and break it down naturally.

How many sessions does it take?

Every tattoo responds differently. Most amateur tattoos can be removed in 2-4 sessions, with professional tattoos on average taking 6-12. Colors may vary.

How does it feel?

It has been described as a warm snapping rubber band. If you remember getting it on, you can expect the same sensation to get it off. However each session will last a few seconds to a few minutes and can be numbed with topical and or local anesthesia.

How much does it cost?

Starting as low as $50 as session, each session is determined on size, color, and location. Unlimited packages are available. Please contact us at 205-871-7332 or info@skinwellnessal.com to schedule a consultation.

What laser is used?

We use the latest in Q-switch technology. The device that used can treat a variety of inks and colors using four different wavelengths of PhotoAcoustic energy that penetrates the surface of the skin and shatters the ink into microscopic particles. With the shortest pulse duration and the quickest repetition rate we are able to remove tattoos from all skin types and most colors.
