Faded Memories with Marleah

Common side effects range from temporary redness, swelling, itchiness, discoloration, scabbing, and blistering. These are all natural reactions that your immune system could have due to the laser treatment. Thankfully, they’re only temporary and usually subside in 2 to 3 weeks following treatment, especially when paired with aftercare best practices.

YES! The Duality Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is FDA-cleared and provides the safest laser treatments. This machine is the best solution for removing tattoos because it can penetrate and remove particles without causing harm to the surrounding skin tissue. Furthermore, our Duality laser is designed to safely treat all skin types, including darker skin types IV through VI.

Depending on your pain tolerance, the laser can feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin or getting a tattoo applied all over again.

Depending on the size of your tattoo, one session can last anywhere from a couple of seconds to 20 minutes. Larger tattoos may require more sessions for complete or partial removal. Additionally, big pieces like full sleeves, back, or chest pieces will need to be treated one section at a time.

The number of treatments needed is unique for each person and tattoo. During your free consultation, our laser technicians will assess your tattoo using factors like tattoo size, location, age, ink density, pre-existing scarring, ink colors, and more to determine how many treatments you will need. On average, most clients see significant fading after a few treatments while others require 5 to 10 treatments or more for complete removal.

Some clients see complete results after a few months, while others may take up to a year. Ultimately, removal or fading results for a cover-up are completely dependent on the number of sessions you’re assigned and how quickly your immune system is able to process the procedure. Keep in mind that treatments are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to give your skin time to heal before the next laser session.

Faded Memories With Marleah determines the price per treatment based on the size of your tattoo and number of treatments needed to reach your desired goal. We offer free consultations to help familiarize clients with the laser procedure and determine a pricing plan that works best for you, your skin type, and your lifestyle.
