What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Start Fresh

Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure designed to eliminate unwanted ink or permanent makeup without surgery. At Alpenglow, we utilize the Alma Harmony Pro's multiple wavelengths to address both traditional body art and the specialized pigments found in permanent eyebrows (microblading or powder brows). The overall purpose is to give you a safe, effective way to reclaim your natural skin or prepare for a high-quality cover-up.

What Is the Laser Tattoo Removal Procedure Like?

A Focused Journey to Clear Skin

Your session begins with a clinical assessment of the ink depth, age, and colors. On the day of treatment, after protecting your eyes with specialized shields, your provider uses the laser handpiece to trace the tattoo. You will hear a snapping sound and may feel a sensation similar to a quick rubber band snap. We value a supportive environment and move at your pace to ensure the session is comfortable.

What Concerns Can Laser Tattoo Removal Address?

Addressing the Details

Our laser technology is safe for almost any area of the body. We frequently treat common areas like the arms, back, and legs, as well as delicate areas like the face, for eyebrow pigment removal.

Laser Tatoo Removal addresses the following concerns:

Unwanted Body Art

Fades or removes professional, amateur, and traumatic tattoos.

Permanent Eyebrows

Corrects or removes outdated microblading, ombré, or powder brows.

Ink Migration

Addresses "blowouts" or blurred pigment lines that have shifted over time.

Cover-Up Preparation

Lightens existing ink to give tattoo artists a better canvas for new work.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal?

The Sophisticated Shift

The primary benefit of choosing laser removal at Alpenglow is the ability to change your mind safely. Whether it is a tattoo that no longer fits your style or permanent eyebrows that have changed color over time, this technology offers a fresh start.

By utilizing the Alma Harmony Pro, we provide a treatment that is significantly more precise than older methods. This precision reduces the risk of scarring and provides a more comfortable experience. Furthermore, our medical-led approach ensures your treatment is tailored to your specific skin type for maximum safety and efficacy.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal right for me?

Tailoring Removal to Your Goals

If you have a tattoo or permanent makeup that you no longer desire, you are likely an excellent candidate. This procedure is safe for a wide range of skin tones and ink types. During your consultation, we will evaluate your ink and medical history to ensure your expectations align with the removal process. We generally recommend waiting until a tattoo is fully healed (at least six months) before starting the removal process.

Laser Tattoo Removal Recovery & Results

The Gradual Reveal

Recovery

There is no traditional downtime, but the treated area requires gentle care. Immediately after your session, you may notice a white "frosting" on the skin, which is a sign the laser successfully interacted with the ink. This is typically followed by redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn. We recommend keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours, and following the detailed aftercare plan provided by our medical providers to ensure the skin heals beautifully.

Results

While some lightening is often visible after the first few visits, laser tattoo removal is a journey of gradual fading. You will continue to see the tattoo lighten for several weeks following each session as your body’s immune system flushes out the shattered ink particles.

Once the ink is successfully removed or faded to your satisfaction, the results are permanent. The pigment is gone for good, allowing you to move forward with a clean canvas or a refreshed appearance.
