Laser Services
What can laser services help with?
Laser treatments may help fade or remove unwanted permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo pigment. Results depend on factors such as pigment color, depth, age, and your skin. We’ll discuss your goals and determine whether treatment is appropriate during a consultation.
What happens at a laser consultation?
We’ll review the area you’d like treated, your medical and skin history, prior procedures, and expectations. We’ll explain the approach, possible risks, expected healing, and estimated number of sessions. Treatment suitability and a personalized plan are determined individually; not everyone is a candidate.
How many sessions will I need, and what should I expect?
Multiple sessions are commonly needed, spaced out to allow the skin to heal. The number and outcome vary by person and pigment. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or pigment changes can occur, and complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations before treatment.
How should I care for the treated area?
Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided at your appointment. Keep the area clean, avoid picking or irritating healing skin, and protect it from sun exposure. Contact the studio if you have concerns during healing; seek medical care for severe or worsening symptoms.
