Before
Many Treatments

Blue and green pigments seem to be the most difficult to remove but the do seem to clear slowly.

Many colors

Tattoo removal

This is a tattoo on the lower tummy that was treated at re*be®. The colors are difficult to remove especially blue and green but you can see they will clear after many treatments.

There can be changes in the skin that are permanent related to the treatment but they are usually less noticeable than the original tattoo.

Black ink

Tattoo Removal

Minimal ink in a tattoo that was only a few years old.

Laser tattoo removal works best for black ink that is not too intense and is near the surface.

This is the result after only one treatment. We plan to keep the images updated as we get new ones and you can watch the progress with us.

Laser Tattoo
Removal

re*be® offers local anesthesia topically or with injections of Xylocaine.

These photographs were taken before laser tattoo treatment was started, after a number of treatments and then after more than a dozen treatments with the laser. Blue pigment and green pigment are the most difficult to remove however this tattoo did not contain those colors and the result is very satisfactory. We can obtain pretty good results with our Quanta q-switch laser. Your results will be different.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will all the ink come off?

No. In most cases you will get the tattoo much lighter and then drop out of your treatment schedule. The smaller the amounts of ink the more difficult it is for the laser to break it up. You can get the tattoo light enough that finding the remaining ink will be difficult.

Does it hurt?

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the procedure and is similar to the pain of getting the tattoo put on. We offer local anesthesia topically or with injections of Xylocaine if you want to use it.

How much does it cost?

We charge for a laser tattoo treatment based on the surface area of the tattoo and per each treatment. If the tattoo fits under a business card that is charged for one area. Each additional business card size area will cost a little less when treated at the same time. Adding local anesthesia is an option but there is an additional charge for that.

How many treatments will it take?

The short answer is many treatments. Every tattoo is different and answering this question is at best a guess. The amount of ink that was injected creating the tattoo varies. More ink in a darker tattoo takes more treatments to remove. Your results will be different. The color of the ink is one of the most important factors with blue and green ink being the most difficult to remove.
