Rethinking your ink? With laser tattoo removal, what was once permanent can be a memory! Project Skin MD® offers medical-grade lasers for tattoo removal, which enables our physicians and technicians to target specific colours with heightened efficacy and safety. Colour by colour, a specific wavelength is employed to target the imbedded ink. Instantly, pigment particles are dispersed. Over the following weeks, the body naturally and safely clears the debris, reducing tattoo ink. After several treatments, tattoos begin to fade and clear; most tattoos will eventually clear completely.
For your comfort, topical and local anesthetics may be applied prior to treatment. For optimal safety and efficacy, laser tattoo removal is best performed with medical-grade laser equipment and under the direction of a qualified physician. Medical-grade laser tattoo removal is not BBL or IPL tattoo removal; medical-grade lasers emit unique wavelengths of energy with proven safety and efficacy for tattoo removal, as each unique wavelength targets a specific colour of tattoo ink. Over several treatments, your tattoo fades, and most tattoos will eventually clear completely.
During a personalized assessment your treatment provider will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your unique skin needs.
We will then take baseline photos for your patient file. These will be used to show you your results and serve as a reference over time.
We will review our consent forms with you, making sure to answer any questions before proceeding with treatment.
After numbing the area, your treatment provider will then begin your treatment, targeting the tattoo pigment with medical-grade laser technology.
Starting from $350 per treatment
We will tailor a treatment plan to your unique skin needs. 3 to 8 treatments may be recommended at 6 to 8 week intervals for best results.
We do not offer Laser Tattoo Removal to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding nor to patients who have taken Accutane in the past 6 months, have been exposed to the sun, tanning beds, have used self-tanning or photosensitizing products in the past month.
Your personalized skincare experts – honouring your unique needs to help you maintain glowing skin.
The treatment itself ranges from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. At Project Skin MD we offer topical numbing cream 60 minutes prior to treatment, and inject local anaesthetic to increase your comfort during treatment. If time is an issue for you, we can skip the topical cream and only use local anaesthetic, please let us know at time of booking.
The local anaesthetic injection feels similar to a bee sting, and patients by experience a stinging sensation briefly as the anaesthetic begins to take effect. After the area is sufficiently numb, you may notice a slight heat or snapping sensation during treatment. Following your treatment, as the anaesthetic wears off you may feel tenderness and heat in the treated area. Cold compresses can help reduce any discomfort.
Direct sun exposure and use of self-tanners are important to avoid 2-4 weeks prior to treatment.
Yes. However, it is not recommended to exercise the same day as your treatment. Saunas, hot tubs, hot yoga and sun exposure are not recommended in the following 7 days.
Laser tattoo removal may cause a darkening or loss of pigmentation in the treated area. This should self-correct with time, however it can be permanent. Blistering, scarring, pain and infection are all possibilities with any laser treatment.
After approximately 2 weeks the treatment area should have healed, making it possible to see the effect the treatment had on the tattoo ink. Results are permanent, however it may take several treatments to remove the tattoo, and in some cases the ink may not clear entirely.
