Commuters in need of tattoo removal from North Shore have a variety of questions about the process. At Fresh Start Skincare & Laser we understand better than most why a little knowledge goes a long way towards making removal a satisfying experience. We have gathered a short list of typical questions and answers about the technique.

1.  Does tattoo removal hurt? There is typically some pain associated with removal but, it is not unbearable. Most patients describe it like the sensation you get when a rubber band snaps your skin. Make sure to let the specialist know what you are experiencing.

2.  How long does removal take? There is no precise answer to that question because many factors are at play, including the patient, the size of the tattoo, and the depth of layering. Most removals require between three and eight treatments.

3.  How does tattoo removal for North Shore daily commuters work? At Fresh Start, we use a multi-wavelength device called a Q-switch laser. With it, we safely break up the ink into particles so small they are not visible to the naked eye. The tattoo fades by degrees throughout treatment sessions until each layer of ink is removed. The results are permanent!
