Laser Tattoo Removal in Vancouver
The Lumenis® treatments enable us to effectively remove black, blue and other dark tattoos, either amateur or professional. The Lumenis® Q-Switch technology enables optimal tailoring of the treatment according to the type of the tattoo, to effectively target the dark pigment and destroy it. Ultrashort laser pulses target the tattoo ink in the skin and break it into small particles that are naturally dissolved by your body; the surrounding skin is left intact.

What should I expect?
When will I see results?
A change in the color intensity of the tattoo will be visible immediately after the first treatment. The number of needed treatments depends on the area of the body, skin color, and the tattoo itself, and can start from 2-3 treatments and up to 10 in some cases. Treatments are spaced 6-10 weeks apart.
What can I expect after treatments?
Immediately following treatment, you will see whitish bubbles on the treated tattoo area, accompanied by some mild redness and swelling which will resolve within 24 hours. A thick crust will appear over the treated area and will fall in about 2 weeks. In rare cases, minimal bleeding in the treated area can occur. Fading of the tattoo is gradual and will be noticed in the following weeks.
