Laser Tattoo Removal North Vancouver

Tattoo removal by laser

Tattoo removal is becoming increasingly popular as people make a change to their bodies that they originally decided against. It can be done through either laser or surgical procedures, however, the latter has become much less common over the years because of its lack of effectiveness and risk of infection. Laser tattoo removal can involve several treatments, but works just as well in removing the ink completely from the skin. It typically requires multiple sessions over a period of time depending on the size, complexity, color elements and location of the tattoo. In addition to being safe and effective for most people, laser tattoo removal can help improve self-image, reduce stress by removing an unwanted piece of artwork and even allow for new art with more thought put into it. If your goal includes clearer, brighter skin without tattoos or blemishes, consider our popular Carbon Laser Facial, which uses the same RevLite® SI system to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.

Technology Spotlight – RevLite® SI

Pigmentation Treatments
  • 1064 nm Q‑switched Nd:YAG: Penetrates deeply to break up black and dark‑blue pigments most efficiently, but also initiates progressive fading in other colours over a series of sessions.
  • Optional 532 nm setting (frequency‑doubled): Targets reds and oranges when indicated, giving balanced clearance across multi‑coloured designs.
  • PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP): Flat‑top beam delivers up to 1.6 J/cm² evenly, reducing hot spots and lowering risk of hypopigmentation.
  • Integrated Skin Cooling: Zimmer Cryo or chilled air ensures comfort and protects the epidermis throughout the treatment.

FAQ During Treatment

Sessions are brief and tolerable; most clients compare the sensation to rapid snaps. Topical anaesthetic and chilled air help reduce discomfort.

Black and dark hues respond fastest. Reds and oranges clear well with the 532 nm setting. Light blues and greens can fade but may need more sessions or a strategic cover‑up.

Scarring is rare when aftercare is followed. Temporary lightening or darkening can occur but usually resolves over several months.

Light activity is fine; delay intense workouts, hot tubs, and swimming for 48 h.

How long should I wait before scheduling a cover‑up tattoo?

Most artists suggest waiting **8 weeks** after your final laser session to allow pigment and skin tone to stabilise.
