How Long Does Laser Tattoo Removal Take?

Each individual laser tattoo removal session takes from 2 to 10 minutes. We also take pictures during each session so you can see how your tattoo fades over time. However, the sessions are spread out with a gap of about 6 weeks between them, so it typically takes at least half a year to fully remove a tattoo.

Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?

There is some discomfort since we are a high-powered laser that breaks down the ink under and on your skin. However, we do our best to relieve this by cooling your skin ahead of time and by providing you with products that can take off the edge. Our specialists will also give you information about what you can do beforehand.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions you need depends on whether you want it faded for a new tattoo or removed altogether. The size and color will also contribute to the number of sessions you need. A complete removal will take at least six sessions. Schedule an appointment with one of our specialists for a more accurate number. 

How Much Does Laser Tattoo Removal Cost?

The price of your laser tattoo removal procedure varies depending on the number of treatments and the size of your tattoo. You will pay about $139 per session, but we'll provide a flat rate for large tattoos.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

During laser tattoo removal, after cooling your skin, our specialists target the top layer of ink with a high-powered laser, which shatters the ink particles. Your immune system treats the shattered particles like a virus and flushes them away. With each session, we go deeper into the dermis.

Why Should I Choose Lexington Tattoo Removal?

Our specialists, technology, and tools set Lexington Tattoo Removal apart. We use the most advanced technology in the industry, including high-powered lasers that are quick and efficient, and creams, lotions, and procedures that reduce discomfort. Those things wouldn't matter without our specialists, who undergo training to remove hair, tattoos, and microblading with lasers, so they're more effective than a dermatologist at this process.
