The technology · Compared

We compare ourselves to the rest, honestly.

There are several routes to remove a tattoo. We use a PicoSure picosecond laser; here is how it stands against the three other common approaches.

The sizes

Mini, small, medium: what they actually mean

The whole price of tattoo removal turns on the size of the design. Here is what each tier means, with the per-session price and the four-session package.

  • A very small tattoo on the inner wrist, barely bigger than a coin.MiniAbout a coin$100per session4 sessions · $299
  • A credit-card-sized tattoo in the middle of the forearm.SmallAbout a credit card$150per session4 sessions · $499
  • A floral tattoo covering the top of a forearm, elbow to wrist, on one side of the arm only.MediumAbout a forearm$300per session4 sessions · $949
  • A large floral tattoo across a woman’s shoulder blade and upper back, seen from behind.LargeAbout a partial back$550per session4 sessions · $1,699
  • A tattoo covering the upper half of a back, the arms and lower back left bare.Extra largeAbout half a back, or one side of a sleeve$700per session4 sessions · $2,099

The examples give the order of magnitude, not a definition: what counts is the area of the design, not where it sits on the body. On an arm or a leg we count one side, not the way around the limb: a tattoo that wraps all the way around counts double. Your tier is confirmed at the assessment, before we start. Taxes extra.

Packages · 4 sessions

Four sessions, one price

A tattoo does not leave in one session: the ink breaks up a little more each pass, and the body clears it between visits. The package follows that reality, and costs less than four sessions paid one at a time.

  • The price follows the tattoo size
  • A dedicated handpiece for yellow, green and blue
  • Medical assessment before starting

Each package shows its per-session rate and what it saves against the à la carte price. Most tattoos need 8 to 10 sessions in total, sometimes more: the package covers four, and we tell you at the assessment how many to plan for yours.

Gradually fades unwanted ink.

Who it’s for

Is it the right choice for you?

An honest gauge before going further. We always confirm together at consultation.

Tattoo removal makes sense if…
  • Ink that no longer feels like you, black or coloured: we have the handpiece for yellow, green and blue
  • You accept several spaced-out sessions: the tattoo fades gradually
  • You want a medical setting and skin monitoring
  • You’re planning a cover-up and want to lighten the old tattoo
Let’s talk first if…
  • White and pastel inks: they respond poorly everywhere, and can even darken. We tell you beforehand
  • A recent tan on the area
  • A known history of poor healing or broken skin over the tattoo
  • You expect full removal in one session: that isn’t realistic
We look at the size, the inks and the depth, then tell you how many sessions to plan for.
FAQ

Before your first visit

The sensation feels like small elastic bands snapping against the skin. Cooling or a numbing cream can be applied to improve your comfort, and the procedure is done under medical supervision after an evaluation.

Most often 8 to 10 sessions, sometimes more, every 6 to 8 weeks. It depends on the ink, how deep it sits, the colour and the age of the tattoo; light shading can go in 1 to 4. We give you an estimate at the assessment, and no complete removal is guaranteed.

Sessions are generally spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to let the skin heal and the body clear the fragmented ink. This interval protects the skin and supports a better outcome.

The area may be red, swollen or form scabs for a few days up to one or two weeks. Keep the skin clean and protected, and avoid picking to reduce risk to healing.

Black and dark shades respond best, and that is true everywhere. Colours depend on the device: a single wavelength cannot see them all. We have the dedicated colour-ink handpiece, the one that lets us treat yellow, green and blue, which many clinics cannot take on. It still takes longer than black, and we give you a realistic picture at the assessment.

The skin must not be tanned at the time of treatment. Avoid tanning and direct sun exposure for about 2 to 4 weeks before and after each session, and apply SPF 30 or higher on the area.

Common effects include temporary redness, swelling, blistering or scabbing, and sometimes a passing lightening or darkening of the skin. These reactions are explained in detail before starting.

The treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active infection on the area, certain skin conditions, or recently tanned skin. The prior medical evaluation confirms whether removal is right for you.

The laser targets the ink while sparing the surrounding skin, which limits the risk, but a risk exists, especially if the area is picked during healing. Following the recommended aftercare helps protect your skin.

Keep the area clean, apply the recommended ointment, do not pick the scabs, and protect it from the sun every day. Tattoo removal starts at $100, taxes extra, depending on size and complexity, confirmed at your consultation.
