Is Laser Tattoo Removal Right For You?

How Does The Laser Tattoo Removal Process Work?
Laser tattoo removal has come a long way. Today’s advanced technology can safely and effectively target unwanted tattoo ink, with the tattoo pigment, ink colors, and depth of the tattoo all influencing how easily it can be treated. Even stubborn colors like red, blue, and green that were once difficult to remove can now be treated more effectively.
At Dermaluxe Spa in Houston, we use the Enlighten III Pico Laser, one of the most advanced tattoo removal systems available. It delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy that break tattoo ink into microscopic particles, allowing your immune system to naturally clear them away over time. With each session, the tattoo gradually fades as your skin renews itself.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Treatments are fast, well tolerated, and made more comfortable with the Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling system, which helps keep the skin cool throughout the procedure. Mild redness, swelling, or temporary whitening of the skin may occur immediately after treatment and typically resolves as the area heals.
Whether you’re looking for complete tattoo removal or fading for a cover-up, every treatment plan is customized to your skin type, tattoo colors, tattoo pigment, and removal goals. The number of sessions varies depending on the size, location, age, ink colors, and depth of the tattoo, with some tattoos requiring fewer treatments than others. We provide laser tattoo removal in Houston for black ink and colored tattoos, with flexible package options available to make treatment simple and accessible.
Enlighten III Pico Laser
The laser used plays a major role in how well a tattoo fades. At Dermaluxe Spa, we use the Enlighten III by Cutera, one of the most advanced pico laser tattoo removal systems available. It combines three precise wavelengths, 1064, 532, and 670 nanometers, with both picosecond and nanosecond pulses to treat a wide range of tattoo colors, including stubborn blue and green pigment.
What sets the Enlighten III apart is its speed and precision. Its ultra-fast pulses break tattoo ink into tiny particles, allowing your body to gradually clear them away over time. This advanced technology helps support faster fading, reduce the number of sessions needed, and deliver cleaner tattoo removal results.
Tattoo Removal Cost
Laser tattoo removal sessions start at $99 per treatment area. Pricing is based on tattoo size, ink density, pigment depth, color complexity, and how many treatments may be needed. Larger tattoos, multi-colored tattoos, and dense cover-up work require a consultation so we can evaluate the tattoo, estimate the number of sessions likely needed, and provide customized pricing. We do not charge hidden fees or require memberships, and financing options are available to make laser tattoo removal more accessible.
Unlimited laser tattoo removal packages available.
FAQs
How many treatments will it take to remove my tattoo?
The number of treatments needed varies for each client and depends on factors such as the size, depth, age, and ink colors of the tattoo. While some tattoos respond more quickly than others, most require multiple sessions to achieve the best results. We recommend spacing treatments approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal properly and for optimal fading between sessions.
For a more accurate estimate based on your specific tattoo or permanent makeup, we recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation at Dermaluxe Spa.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
Tattoo removal can cause some discomfort. It’s often described as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin, with varying levels of intensity depending on the individual and the treatment area.
To enhance your comfort, we offer numbing and/or cooling solutions during your treatments. These can significantly reduce discomfort and make the procedure more tolerable. We also utilize the Zimmer cooling device, which delivers sub-zero air to the treatment area during the procedure, further minimizing discomfort.
What's the downtime and aftercare?
While considered minimal, downtime following laser tattoo removal is important to consider. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, however, it’s crucial to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for the first 24 hours. Direct sun exposure to the treated area should also be avoided for at least a week after each treatment. Mild redness, swelling, and slight discomfort are common side effects and typically subside within a few hours.
Is a consultation required?
Consultation is a Must for First-Timers.
Our consultations are complimentary (free) and are a great opportunity for us to understand your needs and expectations. We will also be able to provide you with an estimate of the price, approximate length of time, and expected results of your treatment.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Yes, but some colors respond better than others. Black ink is the easiest to remove, while bright colors like blue, green, and red may take more sessions. Our advanced Enlighten™ III pico laser targets a wide range of colors with multiple wavelengths for effective fading and removal.
What are the contraindications?
Before your tattoo removal session, please let us know if any of the following apply to you, as they may impact your treatment outcome or require rescheduling:
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You are taking prescription retinoid creams (e.g., Accutane)
The treatment area is irritated, inflamed, or has active acne, rash, or dryness
You’ve had a recent allergic reaction near the area
You’ve had recent sun exposure, tanning, or used self-tanning products
You have uncontrolled diabetes or an autoimmune condition
You’re currently sick with a contagious illness
You’re taking aspirin, blood thinners, antibiotics, or steroids
It’s important to share your full medical history and current skincare routine so we can tailor your treatment safely and effectively.
Can I finance treatments?
Yes, we offer financing through CareCredit to help make treatment more manageable. Flexible payment options may be available for qualified applicants, and package options are also available, including unlimited session packages.
