In fact, it may even become a painful or embarrassing reminder of what you used to think you wanted. If you can’t stand your ink any longer, Skin Deep Laser Services has the innovative technology to erase your tattoo. We provide professional laser tattoo removal services in Burke and throughout Northern Virginia.

HOW MANY SESSIONS DOES IT TAKE TO GET A TATTOO REMOVED?

Our team can create a customized plan to eradicate your tattoo. We use the Kirby-Desai scale to help is determine how many appointments you will need.

In most cases, treatments are spaced 7 weeks apart (at minimum) to allow time for recovery.

Minimizing Discomfort During Tattoo Removal

We cannot guarantee a painless procedure but will do our best to make you as comfortable as possible. Immediately after your laser session, your skin may look frosted over. This is because of gas bubbles which should fade within 20 minutes. You may also experience initial redness and swelling that should subside within a few hours. In addition, some clients experience small blisters and pinpoint bleeding. We will send you home with antibiotic ointment, gauze, and instructions on how to care for the affected area.

We always recommend the best, most effective, and safest treatments for our clients. That is because we are dedicated to utilizing state-of-the-art technology for proven results. Entrust in our lasers and look forward to tattoo-free skin!
