Laser Tattoo Removal

During your first appointment at A Nurses Touch Spa, our experienced Level 4 laser techs, who hold the highest certification in the state, will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your tattoo removal goals. We will assess your skin type and tattoo ink density to tailor the treatment plan to your unique needs. We will book several more appointments for the treatments at that time. You can expect a comfortable, professional environment where we prioritize your safety and well-being.

Every tattoo is different. Factors include the age of the tattoo, ink depth, color, the number of times it has been tattooed, and location. We provide an estimated timeline during your initial consultation. Some blonde brows or light tattoos may be gone in 1 session; most typically, it requires 4 to 8 but up to 12 sessions, depending on the amount of ink in the skin. Fortunately, appointments can be as quick as 3- 15 minutes, depending on the size of your tattoo, making it easy to fit into your schedule.

We customize the laser settings based on ink color, size, depth, and skin tone. Integrated cooling improves comfort and supports healing

After treatment:

• Redness, swelling, or warmth is normal.
• Side effects fade within a few days.
• No downtime is required.

With each session, your tattoo gradually fades as your body clears the pigment.

The main aftercare is to avoid sun exposure to the area to prevent hyperpigmentation.

If you had the tattoo procedure, you’ll be fine having it removed. Most people describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but the best part is it's way faster than getting the actual tattoo. Most treatments last only 30 seconds to a few minutes for a area as big as a hand.

Absolutely. The Perigee QS is a FDA approved professional-grade medical aesthetic device designed to treat the skin safely when operated by trained professionals.

Our 2026 laser safely breaks down tattoo ink while protecting surrounding skin.

• Precision laser pulses target tattoo pigment beneath the skin
• Ink particles shatter into tiny fragments
• Your body clears the ink naturally over time, starting on the 1st day and continuing to show growing results over the next several weeks.

With each session, the tattoo fades progressively until it’s lightened for a cover-up or fully removed, depending on your goals.

What To Do After Your Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment

• Optional Apply cold packs (wrapped in a barrier like a towel) to the affected area(s), taking them on and off every three to five minutes for one to two hours.
• Elevate the treated area above your heart intermittently if selling persist
• Avoid physical activities that cause perspiration like exercising, as well as prolonged standing or walking (especially important if your tattoo is located below the knee!)
• Avoid direct heat, including steam rooms, saunas and hot water.
• Do not apply other skin care products or lotions to the area it can harm the skin
• Avoid wearing tight, restrictive clothing over the treated area(s).

• Moisturize the area Vaseline® or Aquaphor®, up to three times daily or as needed to help reduce irritation or itching.
• Avoid topical irritants— these potentially include harsh soaps, medicated washes, scrubs, oils, numbing agents or antibacterial creams.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Apply sunscreen SPF 30+ and wear protective clothing or a breathable, adhesive bandage over the tattoo.
• Avoid hot baths / showers, as well as swimming (in any temperature). When bathing, use cool water and gentle soap; pat skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
• Avoid scrubbing, scratching or shaving directly over the area.

• Engage in light aerobic exercise to help improve blood circulation, and stay hydrated.
• Gently massage the area of your tattoo manually for 5-10 minutes daily to improve blood flow and aid in lymphatic drainage. For larger body tattoos, we recommend using a deep tissue massage gun.
• Moisturize the treatment area daily, as well as prior to massaging that tattoo, with a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor to keep the skin soft and allow your hand or massage gun to glide more gently over the healed tattoo.

What To Expect From your Results (results increase over time)

So, what's next? While the experience is unique for every patient (and every tattoo!), here's what you can expect…

IMMEDIATELY AFTER

• Potential swelling, redness, and mild discomfort in the treated area (normal!)
• Some ink colors may appear temporarily lighter due to the breaking of ink bonds while some areas may still seem darker in color

UP TO 2 WEEKS AFTER

• Side effects subside and tattoo may appear as it did before treatment
• Minimal to no visible changes of the tattoo ink are observed at this time

2-8 WEEKS AFTER

• Tattoo may itch as it heals as the body processes the broken up ink particles
• Patchy ink removal fading may become visible, based on tattoo depth, density and color

8-12 WEEKS AFTER

• Skin is healed and [most] tattoos are now eligible for another session!
• We recommend this treatment every two-to-three months* until optimal results are achieved

*Note: It's important to wait a minimum of 8 weeks between treatments to ensure the skin is healed and reduce the risk of unwanted side effects that result from treating too frequently.

• Additional layers of ink are targeted with the laser (deep to superficial)
• More and more ink particles are shattered and permanently removed
• Tattoo ink appears more dull and faded, making concealing the tattoo easier
• Skin appears more uniform as the tattoo ink becomes less dense and fades

• And that means the results you'll see from the removal or fading process can vary based on location, depth, density and ink colors. Some tattoos can be completely removed, while others will fade significantly (making it easier to cover up with makeup (or a new tattoo that you love).

What To Do If You Experience These Common Side Effects…

• Rest, ice and elevate the tattoo immediately following your treatment.
• Do not pop, scratch or peel any blisters—they will be reabsorbed on their own in 7-10 days.
• Gently apply a thick layer of Vaseline® or Aquaphor® and lightly cover with a clean, breathable gauze bandage three to four times a day until fully resolved.
• If your blister is large or uncomfortable, please contact us.

• Apply over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1% mixed with either Vaseline® or Aquaphor®, up to three times daily or as needed until resolved. Avoid scratching the area.
• May take oral Benadryl®, Allegra® or Claritin® (antihistamines available over-the-counter, liquid version preferred) as needed.

• After treatment, it's normal for your tattoo to have minimum to moderate redness, petechiae (tiny broken blood vessels under the skin), pinpoint bleeding or bruising depending on factors such as location, ink colors and stage of treatment. If you experience this…
• Gently apply a thick layer of Vaseline® or Aquaphor and lightly cover with a clean, breathable gauze bandage three to four times a day until fully resolved.
• Avoid tight clothing that could rub against the tattoo. Avoid scratching or picking at the area.
• Avoid all irritating products such as hydrogen peroxide, Neosporin®, Polysporin®, Bacitracin®, Aloe Vera, or numbing agents (we recommend applying only Vaseline®, Aquaphor®, hydrocortisone 1%, and sunscreen as needed).
