How does laser tattoo removal work?

Laser tattoo removal works by using specialized light energy to target and break down tattoo ink trapped beneath the skin. The laser shatters the ink into tiny particles, which are gradually eliminated by the body’s immune system over time.

Who can get laser treatments?

With our Astanza Trinity laser, we can safely treat all skin types. However, certain factors, such as tattoo ink colors and location, may impact how well the treatment works. A consultation with our laser tattoo removal specialists will help determine if laser tattoo removal is right for you.

How many sessions does tattoo removal take?

The number of sessions depends on several factors, including tattoo size, color, and location. Most tattoos require between 5 to 10 sessions for complete removal. Fading for a cover-up typically requires fewer treatments.

Is laser tattoo removal painful?

The sensation is often compared to the snap of a rubber band or a quick, hot pinch. At ZAP Tattoo Removal, we use a Zimmer Cryo machine to numb the skin during treatment, minimizing discomfort.

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, itching, or blistering at the treatment site. These typically resolve within a few days to two weeks. Our specialists will walk you through any potential risks before treatment.
