Benefits of Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal using laser technology offers numerous benefits, including:
- Effective Ink Breakdown: Laser technology targets the tattoo ink with high precision, breaking down the pigments so your body can naturally eliminate them.
- Non-invasive: Tattoo removal is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require any incisions.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients usually return to work right after their session with little recovery time.
- Safe for Skin: Lasers are safe for all skin types and can be adjusted according to individual needs.
- Gradual and Safe Results: Results appear gradually as your body works to remove the ink over time, providing a safe and effective way to erase tattoos.
What to Expect During Your Tattoo Removal Treatment
Our specialists at Simply Serene Wellness and Aesthetics will first assess your tattoo and skin type before recommending a course of action. The treatment area will be cooled with gel to minimize discomfort, then our advanced laser technology will be used to target the tattoo. A rubber band-like sensation may accompany the laser’s breakdown of tattoo ink. Sessions usually last 15-45 minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo.
After your session, you’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results. It’s normal to experience some redness and swelling in the treated area, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days.

Anticipating the Results
After several sessions of tattoo removal, you will notice the tattoo fading as your body eliminates the ink. Most patients see noticeable fading after 2-3 treatments, with the complete removal typically occurring after several months, depending on the tattoo’s size, ink color, and depth. Results will vary, but with each session, you will see your tattoo become lighter and less visible. Our team at Simply Serene Wellness and Aesthetics will guide you through the process and provide you with aftercare instructions to optimize healing and achieve the best results.
