Full Tattoo Removal
Full tattoo removal targets all visible ink, helping your skin look as if the tattoo was never there. This option is ideal if you no longer want any artwork in that area. It's especially effective on black ink and older tattoos.

About Laser Tattoo Removal
Unwanted ink doesn't have to be permanent. LaserAway's FDA-cleared laser technology safely fades or removes tattoos while protecting your skin.
Each pulse of light targets pigment deep within the skin, breaking it down so your body can naturally clear it away. Treatments are customized to your tattoo's color, size, and placement for predictable, consistent fading.
Whether you want to fade or remove your tattoos, our licensed clinicians deliver precise, effective results that restore clear, healthy-looking skin.

Tattoo Removal vs Cover Up
Choosing between full removal or fading? LaserAway offers both. Here's what to consider:
Cover Up
Cover-up fading lightens your existing tattoo to create the perfect canvas for new artwork. It's ideal for transforming old or unwanted designs and typically requires fewer sessions than full removal, depending on tattoo size, color, and desired level of fade.
LaserAway in the Press
"The procedure itself takes just minutes... It's really that easy! You're in and out in a flash."

"The life saver for me... has been doing laser treatments at @laseraway"

Your Laser Tattoo Removal Journey, Start to Finish
Your complete guide to how Laser Tattoo Removal works, how to prepare, and what to expect.
Your Laser Tattoo Removal Appointment
At LaserAway, every laser tattoo removal treatment is personalized for your comfort and results. Your journey begins with a free consultation, where we evaluate your tattoo's size, color, and placement to create a customized treatment plan.
During each session, your clinician uses advanced cooling technology to keep your skin comfortable as the laser delivers precise pulses of light that break down ink particles without harming surrounding tissue. Treatments are typically under an hour, and most patients describe the sensation as quick, mild snaps against the skin.
Afterward, you may experience slight redness, swelling, or warmth, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects fade within a few days, and you can return to normal activities right away. With every session, your tattoo fades as your body naturally clears the pigment, revealing smoother, clearer skin over time.
How to Prepare for Laser Tattoo Removal
To get the best results from your laser tattoo removal treatment, keep your skin healthy and protected before each session.
- Avoid tanning, sunburns, and self-tanners for at least two weeks prior.
- Always apply SPF to the treatment area when exposed to sunlight.
- Skip harsh products like scrubs, retinols, and chemical peels that can irritate the skin.
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotion, and sunscreen.
Your LaserAway clinician will review personalized pre-care instructions during your consultation to make sure your treatment is safe, effective, and comfortable from start to finish.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Laser tattoo removal uses advanced technology to break down unwanted ink safely and effectively.
The laser emits ultra-short pulses of light energy that target pigment deep within the skin, breaking it into tiny particles your body naturally clears away over time. Because the surrounding tissue remains unharmed, treatments are precise, safe, and effective on even the most stubborn or older tattoos.
Across a series of sessions, you'll see your tattoo gradually fade until it's significantly lightened or completely removed, depending on your unique goals and tattoo characteristics.

-
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal works by targeting pigment colors in the skin's dermis, which lies between your outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the tissue beneath. The tattoo pigments absorb the laser's beam and then fragment into tiny pieces, allowing your body to absorb and eliminate them. Your body then absorbs these fragments and eliminates them.
-
Which lasers do you use?
The most common type of laser used in tattoo removal, the Q-switch, produces light pulses of extremely high peak power. Several types of Q-switch lasers exist, and each one targets a different color spectrum at different wavelengths. Because Q-switch lasers are so precise and intense, tattoo pigments fragment instantly, and the surrounding tissue is left undamaged.
-
Am I a good candidate for laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal can fade and remove most tattoos safely and effectively. In general, older tattoos that have darker pigments tend to be easier to remove. Newer professional tattoos that have bright, colorful pigments will permanently fade but may not fully remove. Patients who don't smoke and follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen tend to achieve faster results.
-
Does laser tattoo removal work on all ink colors?
Yes, though it may yield different results. In general, older tattoos that have darker pigments tend to be easier to remove. Newer professional tattoos that have bright, colorful pigments will permanently fade but may not fully remove.
-
How many treatments will I need?
You'll need several treatments before you'll notice a significant difference. The number of treatments you'll need depends on the amount and type of ink used and how deeply it sits. Keep in mind it takes a minimum of eight weeks between treatments for your body to absorb the pigment residue.
-
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the size, depth, and color of the tattoo, but most patients start to see fading within a couple weeks after their first treatment. Keep in mind that multiple treatments are typically needed to achieve the desired result, with a minimum of eight weeks between each.
-
Can laser tattoo removal completely remove my tattoo?
Depending on the color and age of the tattoo, laser tattoo removal can produce dramatic results after multiple sessions and often removes all or almost all of the tattoo entirely.
-
What's a laser tattoo removal treatment like?
Before the treatment starts your clinician will apply an anesthetic cream, and you'll be given protective eye gear to wear. The clinician will then hold the handpiece and cooling device close to your skin and deliver rapid laser pulses to the tattoo pigment. With each laser pulse, most patients experience a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against their skin. The amount of laser pulses depends on the tattoo's size, but most treatment sessions only last a few minutes.
-
How do I prepare for a laser tattoo removal treatment?
Prior to a laser tattoo removal treatment, you'll want to avoid sun exposure for four weeks beforehand. You may be instructed to discontinue taking aspirin and ibuprofen, since they may cause you to bruise after your treatment. Make sure to follow all pre-care instructions your clinician gives you.
-
Will I experience any side effects?
You may experience minor bleeding, redness, swelling and blistering for several hours or days following treatment. Over the next several weeks, you may notice the treated area flaking, peeling and scabbing. Handle the treatment site gently. While the site is healing, you should avoid sun exposure and public swimming pools. Tell your clinician if any side effects bother you and are not subsiding.
-
Will laser tattoo removal leave a scar?
It is very rare for patients to scar from laser tattoo removal treatments. But if a tattoo already features pre-existing scarring, that will remain.
