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.
Transparent Pricing

During Your Treatment

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

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
