Frequently Asked Questions

Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light beams to break down ink particles beneath the skin. These fragmented particles are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system, causing the tattoo to fade over time.

Multiple sessions are typically required for complete removal, depending on factors like tattoo size, ink color, depth, and location.

Pain perception varies from person to person. Many clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

At Think Again Tattoo Removal, we use the Zimmer Cryo 6 Cooling System, which delivers chilled air before, during, and after treatment to reduce discomfort. Additionally, topical anesthetic creams can be applied before treatment if needed.

Most clients require 6 to 12 sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. However, the exact number of treatments depends on:

✔ Tattoo size (larger tattoos take longer)
✔ Ink colors (black ink fades the fastest, while greens, blues, and yellows take more time)
✔ Tattoo depth & age (older tattoos may fade faster)
✔ Skin type and healing response

During your free consultation, we’ll evaluate your tattoo and provide an estimated treatment plan.

Yes, temporary side effects are common, including:

✔ Redness, swelling, and tenderness (similar to a sunburn)
✔ Blistering or scabbing (especially with colored tattoos)
✔ Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin

These effects subside within a few days to weeks. Following our aftercare instructions will help speed up healing and reduce risks.

When performed by experienced professionals, laser tattoo removal has a low risk of scarring.

However:

• If your original tattoo caused scarring, that may remain visible after removal.
• Picking at scabs or blisters during healing can increase the risk of scars.
• Proper aftercare is essential to minimize risks and promote healthy skin recovery.

✔ Black & dark blue ink – Easiest to remove.
✔ Green, light blue, red, and yellow ink – More difficult but removable with our Quanta Discovery Pico Plus laser.
✔ White & fluorescent inks – These may not be fully removable, as they lack pigment for the laser to target.

Our triple-wavelength laser technology is specifically designed to treat even the most stubborn tattoo colors.

✔ Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
✔ Do not tan or use self-tanners on the area.
✔ Keep the area clean and free of lotions before your session.
✔ If using numbing cream, apply it as directed before your appointment.

After a session, it’s normal to experience:

✔ Redness & mild swelling (subsides in 24-48 hours)
✔ Slight tenderness similar to a mild burn
✔ Blistering or scabbing (common for colorful tattoos)

Healing takes 7-14 days, and your immune system will continue clearing ink for weeks after treatment.

✔ Many tattoos can be fully removed.
✔ Some very deep or bright-colored tattoos may leave faint remnants.
✔ Pre-existing scarring from the original tattoo may still be visible.

We will assess your tattoo and provide an honest expectation during your consultation.

Laser removal is the most effective method, but alternatives include:

❌ Surgical removal – Best for small tattoos, but leaves a scar.
❌ Dermabrasion – Less effective, high risk of scarring.
❌ Chemical peels – Can lighten tattoos but is not a complete solution.

For best results, laser tattoo removal is the safest and most effective option.
