Laser Tattoo Removal

Is Tattoo Removal Painful?

Laser tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, but most patients describe the feeling as similar to a rubber band snap or quick pinching sensation. Treatments are fast, and numbing methods like topical anesthetics are used to help minimize discomfort. The sensation typically fades quickly after the session, and any post-treatment irritation is usually mild and short-lived.

How long does a treatment session take?

Most appointments last anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the tattoo. But the exact length of your session will depend on factors related to your specific tattoo and the treatment area.

Is there any downtime?

There’s no formal downtime, but you may experience redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area for a few days. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to follow so you can achieve the best outcome.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on tattoo size, color, depth, and location, but most patients need multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart for full removal.

Yes—LaserAway uses advanced, medical-grade laser technology, and every session is performed by trained and experienced licensed medical professionals, including registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician associates.
