Laser Tattoo Removal FAQ's

The cost for tattoo removal per session depends on the size of your tattoo. Prices range from $200~ per session. Discounts are available if you purchase a package of (3) or more sessions.
Our clients normally see significant fading after 2-3 sessions. Complete removal typically takes between 6-9 sessions but some situations require as many as 9-12 sessions.

The efficacy of laser tattoo removal depends on a number of variables including; the location on your body, the pigment used, the depth of the pigment in your skin, the amount of saturation and whether or not there is scar tissue in the tattooed area. Other variables include your overall health, efficiency of your immune system and your lifestyle.

The pulse duration of the PicoWay is so short that the skin is not damaged when the pigment is targeted. However, due to the reaction of the pigment once targeted by the laser, you may experience redness, swelling or light blistering as a result.
