How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Laser tattoo removal assists your immune system by breaking down the ink particles in the skin’s dermis. Our Astanza Trinity laser emits pulses of light energy during a treatment that are absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to shatter into tiny fragments. Your immune system then flushes out these fragments over the following weeks. This process is repeated over several treatments until the tattoo is faded enough for a cover-up or wholly removed.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most clients need approximately 8 to 10 treatments for complete tattoo removal. However, clients with older, faded tattoos or looking to lighten their tattoo for a cover-up may require as little as 3 to 4 treatments. The number of laser tattoo removal treatments needed differs for every client and depends on various factors, including your tattoo’s age, colors, location, ink density, pre-existing scarring, individual health, and more.

How Long Until I See The Completed Results?

Approximate results can be calculated by multiplying the number of treatments needed by the 6 to 8-week healing period between sessions.

Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?

The laser is often compared to the sensation of a rubber band or bacon grease snapping against the skin. Those with a lower pain tolerance say it feels like getting a tattoo again. Overall, laser tattoo removal is a tolerable treatment that is much quicker than getting a tattoo. La Belladonna Studio uses numbing skin solutions to help alleviate the skin and minimize pain during your treatment.

How Long Is A Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment?

Laser tattoo removal is a very fast procedure. Depending on the tattoo’s size, a treatment can last as little as 1 to 20 minutes.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Safe?

Laser tattoo removal is the safest, noninvasive technique for removing unwanted tattoos. La Belladonna Studio uses an advanced FDA-approved laser to ensure the safest, most effective results. Our tattoo removal laser technicians are highly trained and certified in operating advanced Q-switched technology and utilize custom protocols for every client based on their skin type and tattoo’s unique features.

What Are Laser Tattoo Removal Side Effects?

Our Astanza Trinity laser is engineered to only target the unwanted tattoo ink on the skin’s dermis. It’s important to note that laser tattoo removal side effects are possible, including temporary redness, blistering, and scabbing These side effects are natural reactions to the laser and will heal over the weeks following treatment. We ensure that each practitioner in our Wimberley studio provides detailed aftercare instructions to each client to help you properly care for your skin after your treatments.
