The laser delivers extremely short pulses of light energy into the treatment area. Beneath the skin, the ink selectively absorbs the light without destroying the surrounding normal issue. After absorbing the light, the ink shatters into exceedingly small particles that are harmlessly cleared by your body’s natural immune system in the weeks following the treatment.

On average, each treatment only takes a matter of minutes to complete, depending on the complexity and size of your tattoo. We’re committed to working around your schedule and will even provide you with numbing cream prior to your treatment day so as to reduce waiting time.
