Tattoo Removal
An honest talk about what laser can fade.
Laser breaks tattoo ink into smaller pieces so the body can clear it over a course of sessions. Some tattoos fade very well and some only partly. We will tell you honestly which we think yours is before you start.
Results vary and are not guaranteed. If screening shows it is not right for you, we will postpone it or suggest something else.
