Each tattoo is unique as the person wearing it; therefore, laser tattoo removal must be tailored to suit each individual case. Black and blue ink is most easily removed, but other colors can be erased with proper treatment. Individuals who have unsuccessfully tried other tattoo removal methods may also benefit from laser tattoo removal therapy, provided the scarring from previous procedures isn’t too significant.

Clients can expect a minimum of two laser tattoo removal sessions, but most need more for complete removal. During the session, an Inklifters laser technician places a hand piece on the tattoo and activates the laser. In just a few minutes, the sci-fi-like lasers break up the ink under the skin. The sensation has been described as feeling like a grease splatter or the snapping of a rubber band. If needed, some forms of anesthesia can be used to numb the skin before treatment. After a laser tattoo removal treatment, clients will need to clean and cover the site for several days.
