Yes. A consultation is required before treatment to review the tattoo. After the procedure, follow all care instructions, avoid touching the area, limit sun exposure, and refrain from strenuous exercise while the skin is healing to support optimal results.

After treatment, it’s normal to experience redness, swelling, scabbing, or a “frosting” effect on the treated area. These reactions typically subside within a few days. Do not pick at any scabs, as this can affect results. The tattoo will begin to fade gradually over the course of approximately 8 weeks.

The number of treatments varies depending on factors such as ink type, tattoo color, depth, age, and placement. Because every tattoo is unique, it’s not possible to give an exact number. Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Fading occurs gradually as your body naturally breaks down the tattoo pigment. Most clients notice improvement over the course of several weeks, with full results typically visible after multiple sessions, depending on the tattoo.

Most clients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and a Zimmer cold air device is used during treatment to further minimize discomfort and keep you comfortable.
