How many treatments will I need?

On average, you will need 8 to 12 treatments for complete removal and fewer for fading for a cover-up. During your free consultation, Faded 808 Laser Tattoo Removal will examine your tattoo using various factors to determine how many treatments you will need to reach your skin goals. These factors include your tattoo’s age, size, location, ink density and depth, individual health, skin type, etc.

When will I see complete results?

Complete results depend on the number of treatments your tattoo is assigned, plus the 6-to-8-week healing period between treatments. For example, a client needing three treatments might see results in 4 to 5 months, while another client who needs eight sessions might see results in a little over a year. That may seem like a long time, but we promise the results are worth the wait!

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

Most laser tattoo removal patients say the laser sensation feels like a rubber band or bacon grease snapping against the skin. Depending on your pain tolerance, the laser can also feel like getting a tattoo. Luckily, laser tattoo removal treatments are very fast and last a few seconds to 15 minutes, depending on the tattoo size. Faded 808 Laser Tattoo Removal offers numbing solutions to alleviate any discomfort.

Can you fade my tattoo for a cover-up?

Faded 808 Laser Tattoo Removal specializes in fading tattoos for a cover-up. Cover-up tattoos are limited in color and size without laser tattoo removal–usually resulting in a large, heavily-pigmented black tattoo with few details. Cover-up tattoos are much easier to administer after lightening the original tattoo. Laser tattoo removal creates a cleaner canvas for tattoo artists to work on, giving them more flexibility and creativity with your new tattoo.

Our Wahiawa practice can also selectively remove parts of a tattoo (i.e., script, name, or a small element) without removing the surrounding tattoo.

How much does laser tattoo removal cost?

Faded 808 Laser Tattoo Removal offers free laser tattoo removal consultations and affordable pricing. We determine the cost of each treatment based on the size of your tattoo. Pricing increases according to the tattoo size. Please take advantage of our discounted treatment packages and specials to help you save!
