At A Younger You we use a Q-Switch laser that works by using short bursts of laser energy to break down the ink particles in the tattoo. The broken-down ink is then absorbed by the body and removed through the immune system.

Tattoo removal can be uncomfortable and is described as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. The discomfort can be managed with the use of a numbing cream, and many people report only mild discomfort during the procedure. However, the level of discomfort can vary depending on the individual’s pain tolerance and the location and size of the tattoo being removed.

The number of laser tattoo removal sessions you will need depends on a number of factors, including the size, color, and location of the tattoo. On average, most people will need between six and twelve sessions to fully remove a tattoo. It’s important to keep in mind that laser tattoo removal is a process and it can take time to see the full results.

Your skin may feel hot immediately after the treatment.

While your skin is healing and scabbed over, make sure to gently wash the area with a mild soap. We also recommend using the Alastin Soothe and Recovery balm to soothe and protect the sensitive skin.

Protect your skin from the sun and remember to wear your sunscreen.

You cannot have this treatment if you were in high sun within the last month or have self-tanner on the area to be treated. We recommend booking a consult to discuss if this treatment is right for you!
