Does the
procedure hurt?
A lot of people have the misconception that laser tattoo removal is very painful, but most people describe the experience as bearable. Laser tattoo removal is most often compared to having the tattoo applied, but we’ve heard people say it feels similar to having a rubber band snap against your skin. Fortunately, laser tattoo removal is a quick procedure that is much faster than having a tattoo applied. At Elimination Station, we provide a numbing solution to minimize any pain during a treatment. |
How long will it take to remove my tattoo?
Laser tattoo removal is a process and requires commitment but we’re able to make it as fast as possible with our Duality laser. Treatment sessions are generally short and can take anywhere from 1 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and colors of the tattoo being treated. However, about 6 weeks are needed in between each treatment session in order to let your body completely heal before receiving another treatment. Patients will experience their ink fading at different rates, some may take a few months while others may even take a year – it all depends on different elements of your tattoo. Our Duality laser is specially designed to eliminate ink faster and better in as few treatments possible.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
The number of treatments needed are specific to each individual tattoo and rely on many factors including size, location of tattoo, ink colors, age of tattoo, and patient’s health. Most tattoos need between 5 to 10 treatments for complete removal. Some tattoos may only need 3 to 4 treatments, and dark tattoos with preexisting scarring may require more than 10.

Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects patients experience are redness, scabbing, temporary lightening or darkening of the surrounding skin, and blistering. All of these are your body’s natural response to the procedure and heal over time. Many patients are most afraid when they see a scab or blister form. These are normal responses and form in order to protect the underlying skin tissue from any damage during the healing process. We highly advise patients to not pick any scabs or pop any blisters that form – these are signs that your body is healing and that your tattoo is fading. |
