Sierra Tattoo Removal

Most patients require 6 to 15 or more treatments for complete removal of their tattoo. Patients with an older, faded tattoo or those interested in lightening a tattoo for a cover-up may require as few as 3 to 4 treatments. Sierra Tattoo Removal uses a variety of factors to assess your tattoo and determine the number of treatments you will need to reach your desired goal. Some of these factors include:

• Tattoo age
• Tattoo size
• Tattoo location
• Tattoo colors
• Patient health
• Ink depth
• Ink density
• Pre-existing scarring

Treatments are spaced a minimum of 4 to 8 weeks apart to give your immune system enough time to extract the shattered ink and heal your skin before undergoing its next laser session. Each patient’s immune system works at a unique pace, meaning your tattoo may fade faster or slower when compared to other patients. Regardless of how slow or quick your immune system works, virtually all patients require multiple treatments to remove unwanted tattoos. The number of treatments assigned to your tattoo paired with the healing time between treatments often leads to several months before you see completed results. Although laser tattoo removal is a lengthy process, the results are well worth the wait.

Luckily, laser tattoo removal treatments are very quick! Depending on the size and number of tattoos being treated, a single laser session can take as little as 1 to 15 minutes.

While the majority of laser tattoo removal patients compare the laser to a rubber band snapping against the skin, few say it feels like having a tattoo applied all over again. Overall, treatment is very fast and can even be tolerated by those with a low pain threshold. Sierra Tattoo Removal provides skin numbing solutions to alleviate your skin and mitigate any pain associated with the laser.

Sierra Tattoo Removal determines the price per treatment based on the size of your unwanted tattoo. All consultations are $10 and include a tattoo assessment and discussion with one of our expert laser technicians. The consultation fee will be applied to the first treatment when you sign a contract. We also offer special discounts and treatment packages to help you bundle and save.

Laser tattoo removal is the safest method for removing unwanted tattoos. Sierra Tattoo Removal uses custom protocols to provide the absolute best treatment for your unique skin type. We also use leading FDA-approved laser technology to guarantee amazing results. As long as proper aftercare is followed, your skin should heal flawlessly.

Some side effects patients may experience are temporary redness, itchiness, scabbing, swelling, blistering, and skin and hair discoloration. The hair that is in the treatment area usually turns white and will stay white until it falls out on its own. New hair growth will be its normal color. Shaving the area prior to treatment is optional. All of these side effects are natural reactions to the laser and removal process and heal over the weeks following treatment. Patients will receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote successful healing outside of our clinic.

Yes! Sierra Tattoo Removal specializes in all aspects of tattoo removal. We can lighten your tattoo to make a cleaner canvas for your cover-up artist to apply new artwork or even selectively remove a name, design element, or shading from an existing tattoo while leaving the surrounding artwork unharmed.
