How does laser tattoo removal work?
Tattoo ink sits beneath the surface of your skin in particles too large for your body to easily remove. Laser tattoo removal delivers focused pulses of energy that break those particles into much smaller fragments. Your body’s immune system then gradually clears the fragmented ink, causing the tattoo to fade over time.

Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS
How many laser tattoo removal treatments will I need?
There is no single number of treatments that applies to every tattoo. The total can depend on factors including the tattoo’s size, colors, ink density, location, skin characteristics and individual response. Multiple treatments are generally required, with healing time between sessions.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Discomfort varies from person to person. The FDA compares laser tattoo removal to the sensation of a thin rubber band snapping against the skin. Rethink offers numbing options to help make treatment more comfortable.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Different ink colors respond differently to laser wavelengths. The FDA notes that dark blue and black generally respond more readily, while colors such as green and yellow can be more difficult to remove. Some pigments, including certain white and flesh-colored inks, can be particularly challenging.
Can a tattoo be completely removed?
Yes, complete removal is possible for some tattoos. Tattoo size, color, and other individual factors affect how a tattoo responds, and the FDA notes that complete removal may not be possible in every case.
Can you fade a tattoo for a cover-up instead of removing it completely?
Yes. Rethink offers tattoo fading for people preparing for a cover-up. Lightening existing ink can give your tattoo artist more flexibility when designing and placing the new tattoo.
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The cost depends on the tattoo and treatment plan. Rethink currently bases its per-treatment pricing on tattoo size and also offers treatment packages. Your consultation can help determine the treatment approach and applicable pricing for your tattoo.
