Laser Tattoo Removal North Vancouver

Tattoo removal is becoming increasingly popular as men and women 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 Hollywood Spectra laser technology to gently exfoliate, brighten, and refresh the skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more radiant complexion.

At 4D Skin Care Clinic, we use Hollywood Spectra technology to break tattoo pigment into tiny particles that your body can clear over time. Treatment is customized to your skin type, tattoo colours, ink depth, and goals, with a focus on safety, comfort, and realistic results.

Technology Spotlight: Hollywood Spectra

Pigmentation Treatments

  • 1064 nm wavelength: Penetrates deeply to effectively target black and dark blue tattoo pigments, while also supporting gradual fading of other colours over a series of treatments.

  • Optional 532 nm setting: Designed to address red and orange pigments when appropriate, allowing for more balanced clearance in multi coloured tattoos.

  • PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP): A flat top beam profile delivers energy evenly across the skin, helping reduce hot spots and lowering the risk of pigment changes while improving treatment consistency.

  • Integrated skin cooling: Advanced cooling options such as Zimmer Cryo or chilled air enhance comfort during treatment and help protect the outer layers of the skin throughout the session.

FAQ

How many laser tattoo removal sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the tattoo’s size, colours, depth, age, and location, as well as your skin type. During your consultation, we can give you a better idea of what to expect.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to an elastic band snapping against the skin. Comfort measures may be used to make treatment more tolerable.

Is there downtime after treatment?

Most patients have minimal downtime. Redness, swelling, or temporary sensitivity can happen after treatment, but these effects usually improve as the skin heals.

Will my tattoo disappear completely?

Some tattoos can be removed very effectively, while others may only fade significantly. Results depend on the type of ink, tattoo depth, colour, and your body’s response to treatment.

How long should I wait between sessions?

Treatments are often spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow the body time to clear fragmented pigment.

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.
