Tattoo Removal Treatment in Red Deer

During treatment, you may feel a quick snapping sensation on the skin, but a numbing cream will be applied before each session to enhance comfort.

Two key processes break down the ink: the tattoo pigment absorbs energy from the laser and shatters, while the rapid pulse (5 nanoseconds) creates a shockwave that helps break up the ink.

The body responds by sending fluid to the area to help flush away the broken ink, resulting in some swelling and redness. Over the following days, weeks, and months, the tiny ink particles are gradually metabolized by the body and eliminated.

After a laser treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness, swelling, and minor blistering of the skin. These temporary side effects are part of the healing journey, and your skin should rejuvenate quickly. Typically, it takes about 4–5 days for a full scab to form, and in most cases, those scabs will fall away within 10 days post-treatment.

Everyone’s skin reacts differently. The number of sessions you need depends on a few things: how much ink was used, how deep your tattoo was placed, the type of ink, and how your body responds.

For some tattoos, it might take only 3 treatments, while a professionally applied tattoo could need up to 15 sessions. Generally, we recommend waiting about 6 weeks between sessions so your skin can recover.

Each treatment takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. There’s typically no downtime, so you can resume most daily activities right away. 

We recommend staying hydrated, avoiding direct sun, and keeping the area clean, which means pausing any strenuous exercise for about 2 days.
