Q: Will laser fading get rid of scars from my original tattoo?

No. Laser treatment targets ink pigment, not scar tissue. If your skin has texture or discoloration from how the original tattoo was applied, fading the ink around it won't change that texture, and the scar can become more visible once the surrounding ink lightens. Mention any scarring at your consultation so we can plan accordingly.

Q: How long do I have to wait after my last fading session to get my cover-up?

Plan on 6 to 8 weeks. Your body continues clearing broken-down ink during that time, and your skin needs to fully heal before it's ready for new tattoo work.

Q: What does "scar lightening" mean for tattoo cover-ups?

It's industry shorthand for laser fading — using laser treatment to lighten an existing tattoo's pigment so a tattoo artist has a cleaner area to design a cover-up over. It refers to fading ink, not treating scar tissue.

Q: When Can I get Another Eyebrow Tattoo?

We typically tell our clients to wait around 8 to 12 weeks for their skin to fully heal before they get their new eyebrows done.

Q: How Does the Quanta Q Plus C Laser Remove Tattoos?

The Quanta Q Plus C laser is an innovative FDA-cleared, non-invasive cosmetic laser treatments using slightly different technology to effectively reduce, or completely eliminate, the appearance of tattoos. Quanta Q Plus C laser removes tattoos using incredibly brief pulses of powerful light outside of the visible spectrum. This invisible light within the infrared range is delivered in short bursts lasting a few nanoseconds. It’s especially effective on black and highly colored tattoos. This laser removal technique breaks up the ink into tiny, dust-like particles triggering your body’s immune system to absorb and then eliminates them. The technique is precise; there’s no thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Laser tattoo removal treatments also stimulate the production of collagen, creating smooth skin at the tattoo removal site. In fact, they can be used to remove tattoos from all areas of the body.

Q: How Many Treatment Sessions Do I Need?

We offer a complimentary consultation to review your tattoo and determine the best treatment plan for its removal. Your laser tattoo removal treatments depend on several factors, including: Size of tattoo Age of the tattoo Location and quality of the tattoo Colors used in the tattoo Your immune system In most cases, when using laser tattoo removal for treatment, 90% of ink elimination can be reached. An average of 10-12 sessions are usually required to eliminate a tattoo, but each case is unique and may require more or fewer treatments. The frequency of treatment depends on your tattoo; the most common time frame between treatments would be 6-8 weeks. However, variables such as skin type, the saturation of ink and immune response can lead to the increased spacing of treatments upwards of 12 weeks apart. Tattoo removal pricing is also based on the size of the tattoo. Package discounts are available when they’re purchased in advance.
