What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced laser technology to safely break down unwanted tattoo ink particles in the skin. Over a series of sessions, the laser targets and eliminates the ink, allowing the body’s natural processes to clear it away—leaving the skin clearer and the tattoo significantly faded or removed.
At BodyRX Miami, we specialize in laser tattoo removal for black and gray tattoos only at our Coral Gables and Kendall, FL locations. Our expert providers use precision-based technology to deliver safe, effective results for clients seeking a fresh start.
Why Remove a Tattoo?
There are many reasons people choose tattoo removal, including:
- Change in lifestyle, taste, or personal identity
- Employment or professional appearance preferences
- Faded, outdated, or misspelled ink
- Preparation for new tattoo work or cover-ups
Whatever your motivation, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser energy is directed at the tattooed area using a device calibrated for black and gray ink. The energy penetrates the skin and shatters the pigment into smaller fragments, which are then naturally flushed out by your immune system over time.
Because black and gray pigments absorb laser energy more efficiently than other colors, they respond best to treatment—making this the most predictable and effective option for removal.
What Types of Tattoos Can Be Treated?
At BodyRX Miami, we only treat black and gray ink tattoos. These are the most commonly requested for removal and yield the best outcomes due to their high responsiveness to laser light.
We do not currently offer treatment for colored tattoos, such as red, blue, green, or yellow, as those pigments require different wavelengths and more complex protocols.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?
You may be an excellent candidate if you:
- Have a black or gray tattoo you no longer want
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about fading over time
- Are committed to following aftercare and treatment plans
During your consultation, we’ll assess your tattoo’s size, location, and depth to create a customized plan.
What Can I Expect During and After Treatment?
Each session typically lasts 15 to 45 minutes depending on the tattoo’s size and detail. A topical numbing agent is available to improve comfort. Many clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin.
After treatment, it’s common to experience redness, swelling, or slight blistering. These effects subside within a few days.
Post-Treatment Guidelines:
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the treated site.
- Do not pick or scratch healing skin.
- Refrain from strenuous activity for 24 hours.
- Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs) for the first 24 hours.
These steps support optimal healing and minimize risk of scarring.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients need 5 to 10 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to achieve optimal fading. The number of sessions depends on factors like:
- Age of the tattoo
- Ink density and depth
- Your body’s healing response
Your provider will outline the recommended plan during your consultation.
