How it works

Three steps, at your pace

  1. Free consult

    Tell us about your tattoo with the free consult form. Sky, our scheduling manager, texts you back with pricing and availability.

  2. Treatment

    The Trinity laser breaks the ink into tiny particles. The Zimmer Cryo numbs your skin with cold air before, during and after.

  3. Fading over time

    Your body clears the broken-up ink between sessions. It takes several sessions, whether you want it gone or faded for a cover-up.

Technology

The Astanza Trinity and the Zimmer Cryo

The Trinity combines two Q-switched lasers, an Nd:YAG and a ruby, for three wavelengths. Each one targets a different group of ink colors.

  • 1064nmBlack, brown and dark blue
  • 532nmRed, orange, yellow and violet
  • 694nmVivid blue, turquoise, teal and bright green

Our 694 nm ruby wavelength targets blue and green inks, which many lasers struggle with.

Zimmer Cryo cooling

The Zimmer Cryo blows cold air, about -22°F, onto the treatment area. Within seconds the skin is numb, and it keeps you comfortable before, during and after the laser. Ask about it at your free consult.

Questions

Common questions

All questions
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?

We price each session by the size of your tattoo, from $100 for a tattoo the size of a postage stamp. Packages and payment plans are available, and consultations are always free.

Does the laser hurt?

Most people compare it to a rubber band snapping against the skin; others say it feels like a tattoo gun. We use the Zimmer Cryo to numb the skin with cold air before, during and after your treatment.

Are there side effects?

Side effects are usually temporary: itching, redness, swelling, scabbing and blistering, which heal over the weeks after treatment. Don’t pick or pop scabs or blisters, since that can lead to infection and scarring. We give every client detailed aftercare instructions.

How many sessions will I need?

Several. Each session breaks up more layers of ink, and the tattoo fades more each time until you reach your goal, whether that is complete removal or fading for a cover-up. We talk through your tattoo at the free consult.
