Who is a Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is considered safe and effective for a wide range of patients. However, some patients may achieve better results than others. This can depend on the color of the tattoo, the age of the tattoo, the patient's skin tone and type, and other factors. In general, black and green inks can be removed more completely than other colors, like neon, pink, yellow, and white ink. While patients with dark skin tones can be successfully treated with laser tattoo removal, they may have a higher risk for complications or unwanted side effects, like pigmentation changes.
What Can I Expect During Laser Tattoo Removal?
Before removal, the tattoo will be cleansed and numbed. Our technician will then pass the device over the tattooed skin, and it will release energy and pulsing laser light. We use Harmony XL PRO laser technology, a noninvasive laser that shatters tiny pigmented fragments and stimulates collagen production for healing. The treatment time can vary, depending on the size and type of the tattoo. After each session, an ointment will be applied to your treated skin, along with bandages to keep the area protected. You can expect redness, swelling, and sensitivity. You may also feel a sunburned sensation, followed by a slight scabbing. It is crucial to adhere to aftercare instructions carefully to speed up the recovery process.
Results after laser-assisted tattoo removal may differ from patient to patient. After each session, you should see the tattoo appear lighter. The products and the number of required treatments may vary due to the various forms of inks utilized in tattooing. Our team recommends scheduling treatments more than 4 – 7 weeks apart.

As an electrologist: *Very knowledgeable * RN, medical expert *Very thorough, fast technique *Genuinely seeing results *Clean, comfortable offices *Cares about you as a person *Not pushy, listens to what you want *Tries to be flexible for you *An all around great person My story: While seeing another electrologist and experiencing bad reactions (large painful bumps under the skin, little change in hair growth, excessive acne) I called Elizabeth for a second opinion. Not knowing her yet, I expected her to tell me to come in for a consultation before discussing anything. Most people would, but not Elizabeth. She answered every one of my questions and listened to every one of my concerns. After 15 minutes on the phone with her, I understood more about the process of electrology and what to expect than after two months of treatments with another esthetician. At the end of that conversation, she didn't ask me to make an appointment or come in for a consultation. That amazed me. She helped me and expected nothing in return and she seemed so happy to do so. That's who she is. I trusted her expertise and knowledge, so I knew I wanted her to treat me. She made an electrology appointment for me on the spot, within a couple of days. Fast forward a couple of months and I have been hair free for 2 straight weeks without shaving, plucking, waxing, using creams, whatever! I went out in the bright sunshine today without worrying that someone would see my facial hair. That hasn't been possible for me for over TEN YEARS! I used to have to manage the hair 1-2 times EVERYDAY! I haven't even thought about it in WEEKS! Can you imagine the relief? Elizabeth gave that to me. If you're like me and you've suffered from unwanted hair, your self-esteem had been crushed, and you're sick of worrying that people will see... Do yourself a favor, call Elizabeth and make an appointment. Not all electrologists will give you the results you're hoping for--she will!
Met with Elizabeth and she is awesome to talk with and consult. super gentle and professional in her treatment and very recommended. wish there were more service providers like her!
