Tattoo Removal in Aurora

Tattoos are common, and it's natural for feelings about one to change over time. Whether you want a tattoo faded, lightened for a cover-up or removed as far as possible, laser tattoo removal in Aurora starts with an honest assessment of your ink.

Laser is the standard method for fading tattoos. It breaks ink into tiny particles that your body's immune system gradually clears, and some colours are harder to treat than others. *Results vary. Complete removal cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The laser delivers high-intensity light pulses that break down tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments. Your body's immune system then naturally eliminates these fragments over time.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions depends on the tattoo's size, colour, age, and ink depth. Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart.

Can all tattoo colours be removed?

Black, navy blue and red inks respond best to our laser (a Q-switched Nd:YAG), while colours such as green and yellow are harder to treat. At your consultation we assess your tattoo's colours, age and depth and set realistic expectations.

Is tattoo removal painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We offer comfort measures to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
