Luna Ray – Tattoo Removal

Each person is as unique as their tattoo, but most professional tattoos take between 5-15 treatments. Luna rayLaser tattoo removal treatments are spaced out 4-8 weeks apart. The number of treatments can depend on several factors, such as:

• Amount of ink used
• Depth of the ink placed in the skin
• Type of ink used
• Location and placements of tattoo
• Age of the tattoo
• colours used

No. The time between treatments is set up so your skin can heal properly and your body has enough time to flush the tattoo ink out naturally. The results are not always immediate. The body breaks down the ink slowly, usually taking weeks to see the full results of the treatment.

As many patients describe it, each pulse feels like a grease splatter or the snapping of a rubber band against the skin.

No. As long as you follow the aftercare instructions, there is minimal to no scarring from this procedure. 

No. Black and red inks are the easiest to remove, while greens and light blues are the hardest. These blues and greens can sometimes take more treatments than other colours, and in some cases, they cannot be removed completely

In most cases, the answer is yes. However, complete removal is sometimes hard to predict due to all the unregulated inks on the market. The F.D.A. does not regulate tattoo inks; many tattoo ink manufacturers and artists mix and produce their inks. Sometimes, these mixes have metals and other foreign additives for effect. These unknowns are why 100% removal is hard to predict and cannot be guaranteed.

Redness, swelling, scabbing, bruising, and sometimes blistering are all normal. These blisters are superficial and will heal beautifully, but they may be uncomfortable for a couple of days. We provide very clear and easy aftercare instructions for post-treatment care.

Laser tattoo removal is a simple outpatient procedure that uses specific laser wavelengths and frequencies to target tattoo inks, break them down at a molecular level, and gradually remove them from the body. The process is far less invasive than getting a tattoo and takes less time. Treatments take a series of sessions, usually lasting 5-15 minutes or less.  Patients can receive treatment during their lunch break and return to work on time.

Laser tattoo removal works by directing a luna ray at the tattooed area for a fraction of a second. The laser passes harmlessly through the outer layers of skin and focuses directly on the tattoo ink. The laser disrupts the ink, allowing the body to break it down and flush it out naturally.
