TATTOO REMOVAL
A simple solution for Tattoo Removal
Whether your tattoo no longer reflects who you are, has faded unevenly, or you're preparing for a cover-up, laser tattoo removal offers a safe and effective way to gradually reduce unwanted ink. At Inglewood Laser + Aesthetics, we use the MedLite C6 Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser to target tattoo pigment while helping preserve the surrounding skin. Every treatment plan is customized based on your tattoo's colors, age, size, location, and your skin type. The MedLite C6 is widely used for tattoo removal and treatments of pigmented lesions.

Laser tattoo removal uses short pulses of laser energy to target the ink particles beneath the skin. The laser breaks the ink into smaller fragments, allowing your body's immune system to gradually remove them over time. Each treatment lightens the tattoo progressively while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.

The number of sessions varies depending on several factors, including the tattoo's size, colors, age, depth of the ink, and your skin type. Professional tattoos often require more treatments than amateur tattoos. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your tattoo and create a personalized treatment plan.
