What Is Tattoo Removal?

Tattoo removal is a non-surgical procedure designed to break down the ink particles embedded in the skin, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the pigment. The most effective method for tattoo removal is laser tattoo removal, which uses high-intensity light to target the ink without damaging surrounding skin. This process is gentle, precise, and ideal for most types of tattoos.



At TERSA Facial Aesthetics & Spa, we use the PicoSure Pro Laser and Q-switched lasers, which are some of the most advanced laser systems for tattoo removal. These lasers deliver energy in short pulses to target and break down the ink, with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.

How Does Tattoo Removal Work?

The tattoo removal procedure uses specialized lasers to target the ink in your skin. The laser light breaks the tattoo ink into smaller particles, which are then naturally removed by your body’s immune system. The procedure is as follows:


  1. Consultation: Dr. Andrés will assess the tattoo and discuss your expectations, skin type, and tattoo characteristics (such as size, color, and depth).
  2. Laser Treatment: The laser will be applied to the tattooed area in a series of quick pulses. Most people feel a mild sensation during the treatment, often compared to the snap of a rubber band.
  3. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you may experience redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. Applying cold compresses and keeping the area clean can help with healing.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for Tattoo Removal?

Most tattoos require multiple sessions for complete removal. The number of sessions needed depends on:


  • The size and complexity of the tattoo
  • The type and color of the ink
  • The location of the tattoo
  • Your skin type


Typically, patients need between 5 to 10 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow the body time to break down and remove the ink particles.

What to Expect During and After Tattoo Removal

  • During the procedure: You may feel mild discomfort, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. We use cooling techniques to minimize discomfort.
  • After the procedure: You may experience slight redness or swelling in the treated area. It is important to avoid picking at the treated skin and to follow Dr. Andrés’ aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.


Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the session, though we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and heavy exercise for a few days.

Tattoo Removal FAQ

  • Will tattoo removal leave scars?

    When performed by a trained professional, tattoo removal should not leave scars. Laser treatments are designed to target the ink and not the surrounding skin. However, scarring may occur if the tattoo was improperly applied, or if aftercare instructions are not followed carefully.

  • Can I get another tattoo in the same area after tattoo removal?

    Yes, it is generally possible to get a new tattoo in the same area after tattoo removal, but it’s important to wait until your skin has fully healed. After laser tattoo removal, the skin may be temporarily sensitive, so it's recommended to wait several months for the area to fully recover before applying a new tattoo. Dr. Andrés will guide you on when it is safe to get another tattoo based on your healing progress and the condition of the skin. It's also important to note that the removal process might cause slight changes in skin texture or color, which could affect how a new tattoo appears.

  • Can all tattoos be removed with laser treatments?

    While laser tattoo removal is effective for most tattoos, some tattoos, particularly those with certain colors (like green or yellow), may be harder to remove. Very old tattoos or those that are very deep may also require more sessions for complete removal.

  • Can I remove a tattoo from any area of my body?

    Tattoo removal can be performed on most areas of the body, though the ease of removal may vary depending on the location, skin type, and tattoo characteristics. Some areas, such as the hands, feet, and the neck, may require more sessions due to thinner skin or the density of the tattoo pigment.
