How does tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal utilizes your body’s natural immune processes to remove tattoo ink from your skin. During the treatment, the laser’s energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, which shatter into tiny fragments. The body then flushes way the fragments over time following each treatment. Over a series of sessions, the tattoo is faded more and more until it is completely erased.
Am I a candidate for tattoo removal?
Most people are candidates for tattoo removal! Tattoo removal works on black and colorful tattoos alike, plus is safe for all skin types. Patients that have sun sensitivity due to medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are chronically ill should wait to receive treatment until after their condition has changed.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need five to ten treatments to see complete removal. Patients with faded or homemade tattoos may need fewer sessions – people with extremely dark tribal tattoos may need more. The number of treatments a patient needs depends on the age of the tattoo, the density of ink in the skin, the colors of ink, the location of the tattoo on the body, and the overall health of the patient. Louisville Tattoo Removal has the most advanced tattoo removal technology in the area to remove your tattoo in a minimum number of treatments.

If you’d like to start treatment during the same appointment, we can fit you in immediately.
