Q: What’s the average cost of tattoo removal?
A: Again, laser tattoo removal prices depend on how much ink is used, where the tattoo is located, and other factors. So there’s not really an average cost… It depends on if you have a small tattoo, or a tribal tattoo, or how old you are… But in terms of averages? You can expect to pay anywhere from $200 – $500 per session.
Q: What is the price to get a small tattoo removed?
A: The pricing is always done tattoo by measuring the square inch of the tattoo.
Most tattoo removal clinic ranges from $50 to $60 square inch. So for a small tattoo, = the average price would start from $80 to $300 per session depending on the clinic’s cost per square inch.
Q: How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?
A: Without an initial consultation, it’s impossible to know how many sessions it’ll take to remove your tattoo…
How number of sessions it’ll take to remove your tattoo depends on a couple of things:
- How big your tattoo is
- The type, and density, of ink used in the tattoo
- The color of the tattoo
- Your health
- Your skin type
Q: Will getting my tattoo removed hurt?
A: Getting your tattoo removed shouldn’t hurt. It’s most likely going to be uncomfortable, but we don’t describe the sensation as painful.
You may have read that a Pico Laser can be very painful and even result in skin damage, scarring, burning, and blistering.
But we do not use the Pico Laser! We use a Q-Switched Laser, which is proven technology, and is much less likely to be painful or cause any negative side-effects.
Q: Will getting my tattoo removed leave a scar?
A: If you have pre-existing scarring on the tattoo, then that scarring will remain.
But since we use a Q-Switched laser (compared to the less safe Pico Technology), it’s very uncommon to have patients scar.
So if you don’t have pre-existing scarring, you can expect that after the tattoo is removed, it will not leave a scar.
Q: Are there any negative side-effects?
A: As with anything, there are side-effects. We are working with a very powerful laser, and although it’s safe, you may experience some discomfort, such as:
- Hyperpigmentation – where the skin gets darker
- Hypopigmentation – where the skin gets lighter in colorBlisters
- Tender to the touch
- Swelling
- Scabbing
- Bruising
