Laser tattoo removal is a common method for safely and effectively removing unwanted tattoos. Here’s what you need to know:

How does laser tattoo removal work?

A special Q-switched laser, or pico laser, sends short, high-energy pulses of light into the skin. These pulses break the ink pigments into tiny particles, which are then broken down and excreted by the immune system.

5–30 minutes (depending on size and color)

Number of sessions

3–10+, spaced 6–8 weeks apart
