Post-treatment, the area may feel like a mild sunburn — with slight redness, swelling, or frost-like whitening on the tattoo. These are normal, temporary effects.
✓ Immediate ink breakdown begins beneath the skin
✓ Redness and swelling subside within 24–72 hours
✓ No major downtime — protect the area with aftercare
As healing continues, your body starts flushing out fragmented ink. Some scabbing, dryness, or itching is common. You may notice the tattoo lightening slightly.
✓ Early signs of fading begin to show
✓ Treated area heals with minimal risk of pigment change
✓ Itching and dryness improve with proper aftercare
The fading process accelerates as your immune system clears more ink particles. Multiple sessions are spaced out to allow full recovery and optimal ink breakdown.
✓ Progressive lightening of tattoo lines and colors
✓ Less visible detail with each session
✓ Skin remains smooth and unscarred
Full clearance typically requires a series of sessions. Black and darker inks fade fastest; color tattoos may take longer. Most clients achieve their desired result with consistency.
✓ Tattoo significantly faded or completely removed
✓ Safe results with no surgical intervention
✓ Confidence regained — ink-free or cover-up ready
