What is Tattoo Removal?
If you regret a tattoo or feel that a tattoo is no longer meaningful, tattoo laser removal is a great option. The laser tattoo removal procedure is a safe, effective option that uses a Q-switched laser light. The laser treatment releases energy in a single, powerful pulse, shattering the tattoo pigment on the tattooed skin, which is naturally removed from the body. The number of treatments will vary based on your tattoo.
Tattoo Removal Consultation Pricing: $49
Each laser tattoo removal patient should expect unique results based on a number of factors, including:
- The age of the tattoo
- The density of the ink
- The depth of pigment
- Ink composition
- Tattoo color
- The patient’s overall health

Tattoo Removal Treatment
Before your treatment, Dr. Bilbruck will review your medical history and discuss your expectations for treatment. She will also assess your tattoo and create a personalized treatment plan for you.
To begin treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin, or an injection of local anesthetic is given to ensure you are comfortable. Then, the laser handpiece is used to apply a powerful pulse of energy to the tattoo, shattering the tattoo ink in the skin. A treatment session can take anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo.
Tattoo Removal Results
After laser tattoo removal, you may experience swelling and possible blistering, which can take two weeks to heal. An antibacterial ointment may be prescribed to help promote healing. Our team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions for safe and quick healing.
Repeated sessions are most likely needed to lighten the tattoo; the exact number of sessions can be determined during your consultation appointment.
