What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal uses concentrated light energy to break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. Once fragmented, the body’s immune system naturally flushes the ink away over the following weeks — gradually fading the tattoo with each session.

At MedGlo, every laser tattoo removal treatment is performed personally by Dr. Violeta Recalde, MD — in a real medical office, not a tattoo parlor or chain clinic. Medical oversight ensures precise, safe, and consistent treatment tailored to your tattoo’s size, color, and your skin type.

Most patients require a package of 4–6 sessions to achieve optimal fading. Dr. Recalde will assess your tattoo at consultation and give you a realistic expectation of the sessions needed.

What to Expect

Before Your Treatment

Come with clean skin — no lotions or sunscreen on the area

Avoid sun exposure and tanning on the tattoo area for 2 weeks

Let Dr. Recalde know of any skin conditions or medications

Shave the area if there is hair over the tattoo

During Your Treatment

Dr. Recalde applies the laser handpiece to the tattoo area

Short pulses of laser energy break down the ink particles

Mild snapping sensation — topical numbing available

Treatment time varies by tattoo size: 5–30 minutes per session

Each session spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the body to flush the ink between sessions

After Your Treatment

Mild redness and swelling for 1–3 days — normal response

Apply SPF to the treated area when exposed to sun

Avoid picking or scratching the area as it heals

Fading is gradual — most visible change occurs 4–6 weeks after each session as the body removes the ink fragments

Most patients need 4–6 sessions for optimal results

What Affects the Number of Sessions?

Tattoo age: Older tattoos fade faster than newer ones

Ink colors: Black and dark blue respond best. Green, yellow, and light colors require more sessions

Ink density: Professional tattoos with heavy ink take longer than amateur tattoos

Tattoo size: Larger tattoos require more sessions

Skin tone: Dr. Recalde adjusts laser settings accordingly
