1064 nm for dark ink
Nd:YAG at 1064 nm targets black and dark blue, and is gentler on darker skin.
Laser tattoo removal, tuned per ink color.
We treat with Q-switched and picosecond lasers across 1064 and 532 nm, matched to your ink and skin over a planned series of sessions. Fading is not always complete, and individual results vary.
How it works
Shatter the pigment, let the body clear it.
Ultra-short laser pulses fracture ink into fragments your body clears over weeks.
532 nm for warm ink
532 nm is tuned for red, orange, and other warm pigments.
Cleared over time
Your body clears the fragments gradually, so sessions are spaced weeks apart.
What ink color means
Color decides difficulty, not just preference.
The reason some tattoos clear more readily is physics, not effort.
Black and dark blue
These pigments absorb 1064 nm efficiently and usually fade most predictably.
Green, yellow, cosmetic ink
Some colors resist clearance and may fade only partially. We tell you before you start.
The plan
Multiple sessions, spaced weeks apart.
Most tattoos need several sessions, spaced weeks apart for clearance and recovery.
Multi-session
A planned series, not a one-time treatment
Weeks apart
Spaced for clearance and recovery
Per-ink
Wavelength tuned to each pigment

Aftercare
How you care for the skin matters.
Aftercare protects the result and lowers the risk of complications.
Keep it covered and clean
Follow the dressing and cleansing instructions, and do not pick or scrub.
Strict sun protection
Keep the area out of sun and use sunscreen; sun exposure risks pigment changes.
Report any concerns
Report blistering, prolonged redness, or signs of infection promptly.
Questions
The questions we hear most.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most people describe each pulse as a sharp, hot snap, often compared to bacon grease. Cooling helps, and discomfort is brief.
How many sessions will I need?
Most tattoos need several sessions spaced weeks apart, depending on ink colors, depth, age, and location. Your provider estimates a range at consultation.
Will my tattoo disappear completely?
Laser treatment can significantly fade many tattoos, but complete clearance is not guaranteed. Some ink fades fully, some partially, and some leaves a faint shadow.
Does ink color matter?
Yes. Black and dark blue absorb 1064 nm and fade most predictably; greens, yellows, and cosmetic inks are stubborn and may fade only partially.
What is the aftercare?
Keep the area covered and clean, do not pick or scrub, and use strict sun protection. Report blistering, prolonged redness, or infection promptly.
Honest expectations and candidacy
Laser tattoo removal can significantly fade many tattoos, but it cannot promise a blank canvas. Outcomes depend on ink chemistry, depth, age, and skin type.
A consultation is required before treatment. We assess your tattoo and skin, review your history and medications, and patch test first. Some people are not good candidates, and we will tell you so. We also cover sessions, downtime, and risks, which can include swelling, blistering, scabbing, and pigment changes.
- Treatments are performed by licensed clinical providers under medical supervision using FDA-cleared devices.
- Pregnancy, recent sun exposure, certain medications, and some skin or health conditions may make treatment inadvisable.
- Planning a cover-up? Tell us, since partial fading may be the goal rather than full clearance.
