Does the Size of My Tattoo Affect the Cost of Laser Tattoo Removal?

Do you have a tattoo that once seemed cool, but now is a source of embarrassment for you? If so, you may be a good candidate for laser tattoo removal – and you may not even need to pay as much as you think. Check out how the size, color, and age of your tattoo plays a role in how much your laser tattoo removal procedure may cost.

Size, Color, and Age: How They Affect the Cost of Laser Tattoo Removal

With traditional laser tattoo removal treatments, the size, color, and age of the tattoo can play a huge role in how many sessions you may need (and, as a result, how much it costs).

Here’s why: Most laser tattoo removal technologies use specific energy wavelengths to penetrate the dermis and break up the tattoo’s pigment. These technologies keep the wavelengths highly targeted, so they’re most successful at treating smaller tattoos. Additionally, some pigments are easier to break up than others (black being one of them). Finally, the older a tattoo, the harder it is for the pigment to absorb the wavelengths, as it’s already so integrated with the skin.

That’s why we use the PiQo4 laser in all of our laser tattoo removal procedures. This advanced laser is designed to treat larger-sized tattoos. In fact, the PiQo4 laser tattoo removal system goes up to 15mm, which is four times larger than any other device in the industry.

How Much Will My Laser Tattoo Removal Cost?

Ultimately, the size, color and age of the tattoo affect the cost of your laser tattoo removal procedure. Older tattoos with certain colors may take more time to treat, so the cost of your laser tattoo removal will be determined by how many sessions you’ll need before you see results.
