What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-surgical treatment that uses targeted light energy to break tattoo ink into smaller particles. Over time, your body naturally clears those particles, which allows the tattoo to progressively fade.
Because every tattoo is different (ink type, color, depth, age, and placement), every plan is customized.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works (Nd:YAG)
At Natural Lash Skin Bar, tattoo removal is performed using Nd:YAG laser technology with settings customized to your tattoo and skin.
In simple terms:
-
the laser delivers short pulses of energy into the tattoo pigment
-
the pigment absorbs the energy and breaks into smaller fragments
-
your body gradually clears the fragmented ink over the weeks that follow
This is why tattoo removal is a process—not a one-time appointment.
Who is Laser Tattoo Removal best for?
Laser tattoo removal is a great option for clients who want:
-
to fully remove an unwanted tattoo
-
to fade a tattoo for a cover-up
-
to lighten old ink that has blurred or changed over time
-
a professional plan that prioritizes skin safety and realistic expectations
We’ll confirm candidacy during your consultation by reviewing your goals, skin type, medical history, and any contraindications.
