Versatile Laser Tattoo Removal in Grand Rapids, MI
As tattoos become increasingly popular, so does the demand for tattoo removal. Perhaps an old tattoo no longer fits your style, the lines have faded and blurred, or it simply reminds you of a time you’d rather forget—whatever the reason, Studio 4955 can help. Over multiple sessions, we can fade unwanted ink with minimal discomfort, helping you reclaim your skin from an aesthetic that no longer feels like you.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal works by breaking down tattoo pigments into smaller particles that your body naturally eliminates. At Studio 4955, we use Rohrer’s Spectrum laser with a Q-Switched Yag/KTP system, which offers dual wavelengths (1064nm/532nm) to target a wide range of ink colors effectively.
This versatile system is safe for all skin tones and types, delivering precise, efficient treatments no matter the size or color of your tattoo. Multiple sessions are typically required, and with each treatment session, more ink is broken down and removed, causing the tattoo to progressively fade.
