What causes it
Tattoo ink particles are too large for the body's immune system to naturally clear — which is why tattoos are permanent. Laser tattoo removal shatters these particles into fragments small enough for lymphatic clearance.
Best approaches
Q-switched laser delivers ultra-short pulses that heat and fragment tattoo ink without damaging surrounding skin. Multiple sessions are required as different ink layers and colors respond at different rates.

FAQ: Unwanted Tattoo
How many sessions does it take?
Most tattoos require 6–12 sessions for significant fading or complete removal. Professional tattoos with dense, multi-color ink take longer than amateur or single-color tattoos.
Can all colors be removed?
Black and dark blue ink responds best. Green, teal, and light colors are more resistant and require specific wavelengths. We'll assess your tattoo colors at consultation.
