Tattoo Removal

Body Tattoo Removal

Plan tattoo removal around the ink you have, the skin beneath it and the fading you want to achieve.

Personalized Tattoo Removal With the enLIGHTen III Laser

Laser treatment breaks tattoo pigment into smaller particles that the body clears gradually. Size, color, ink composition and depth, age, location and any scar tissue all affect the treatment plan. Those details are why one price or session count does not fit every tattoo.

BEFORE TREATMENT

Understand the Proposed Plan

The enLIGHTen III uses different wavelengths and pulse durations for different tattoo pigments. Bonnie will review your tattoo before estimating a treatment course.

Consultation and Preparation

Bonnie reviews the area, skin type, treatment history and your goals. Share your medicines, skincare products and any recent sun exposure. Follow the preparation instructions for your treatment; do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber's guidance.

Your Treatment

The enLIGHTen III platform combines picosecond and nanosecond pulses with three wavelengths: 532 nm, 670 nm and 1064 nm. Different settings can be considered for different pigments. During your consultation, discuss your tattoo, skin, expected treatment course and realistic limitations with Bonnie. Protective eyewear and treatment-specific comfort measures are discussed before the procedure.

Care After Your Visit

Follow the instructions for cleansing, skincare and sun protection, including SPF 50 on treated skin before and after treatments. Redness, swelling, discomfort or pigment changes can occur, with recovery depending on the procedure and your skin. Bonnie can explain what to expect and when to contact the team.

Results and Follow-Up

Sessions are typically spaced approximately eight weeks apart. The number of sessions varies with the tattoo’s size, colors, depth, age, location and previous scarring. Fading develops gradually, with healing time between treatments. Complete clearance cannot be guaranteed. Discuss your recommended treatment course and the time between sessions during your consultation.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions About Tattoo Removal

Use these answers to prepare for an individual conversation, not to replace an assessment.

How Many Sessions Will My Tattoo Need?

Sessions are typically spaced approximately eight weeks apart. The number varies with tattoo size, color, depth, location, age, ink and your body's response. Bonnie can estimate a course only after examining the area.

What Should I Know About Removing a Multicolor Tattoo?

The laser offers multiple wavelength options, but different colors may respond differently. Bonnie can explain the likely approach and limitations.

Is Tattoo Removal Uncomfortable?

It can be uncomfortable. Over-the-counter topical numbing creams with 5% lidocaine may be considered for comfort when appropriate and used according to product labeling and provider guidance. Discuss comfort measures, likely skin reactions and aftercare before beginning treatment.
