What to Expect at Your LaserAway Tattoo Removal Consultation

Everything You Need to Know About LaserAway’s Complimentary Laser Tattoo Removal Consultation

Thinking about saying goodbye to unwanted ink? At LaserAway, we make the tattoo removal process as smooth and transparent as possible—starting with a free consultation with one of our treatment specialists. Here’s what you can expect during that initial appointment—and why choosing LaserAway sets you up for success.

Your Free Consultation: Personalized and Comprehensive

At LaserAway, we believe the free consultation is your opportunity to get all your questions answered, learn about your options, and build trust with our team. Here’s how your treatment specialist will guide you through the process:

1. Learning About Your Needs and Goals

Your treatment specialist will begin by asking about why you’re seeking laser tattoo removal—whether it’s for a fresh start, an aesthetic change, or simply fading an old design. They’ll also explore what achieving your goal would mean to you, and how long you’ve been thinking about getting your tattoo removed. This helps us understand your motivation and set realistic expectations.

2. Discussing Any Obstacles to Treatment

We understand that life can get busy, and that financial, emotional, or practical concerns can get in the way. During your consultation, we’ll talk about potential obstacles, such as appointment availability, time commitment, and any worries you might have. We’re here to help you navigate those hurdles and make the process as smooth as possible.

3. Appointment Availability and Candidacy

Our treatment specialist will review your availability to schedule treatments and assess if you’re a good candidate for laser tattoo removal. They’ll also explain how factors like skin type, tattoo color, ink composition, depth, age, and location influence your treatment plan. To help with this, they’ll use the Kirby-Desai scale—co-created by Dr. Will Kirby, LaserAway’s Chief Medical Officer and board-certified dermatologist—which offers a clear estimate of how many laser sessions you might need based on these key details.

Setting Expectations: Clinical Assessment

Your consultation includes a clinical assessment—either in person or by reviewing photos sent through our secure system. One of our highly skilled nurses will evaluate your tattoo’s specifics to create a personalized treatment plan. This thorough evaluation ensures we understand your unique situation and can offer the most accurate recommendation.

We’ll explain why we typically recommend a minimum of 10 sessions spaced at least 8 weeks apart to achieve the best results. We’ll also discuss the factors that can influence the number of treatments needed, such as ink color, tattoo depth, age, and location. Everyone’s journey is different—but we’ll make sure you know what to expect.

Why LaserAway Stands Out

During your consultation, you’ll learn why LaserAway is America’s go-to aesthetic dermatological provider for laser tattoo removal:

Best-in-Class Technology

We use only the most advanced laser tattoo removal technology, which allows us to treat all ink colors and all skin tones with minimal risk of scarring and faster fading.

Highly Skilled Nurses

At LaserAway, every treatment is performed by a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant—not just a technician. This ensures the highest level of care and safety.

Extensive Experience
 

With millions of treatments performed across locations nationwide, LaserAway is the most trusted name in aesthetic laser services.

What to Expect from the Process and Results

Your treatment specialist will walk you through what to expect from laser tattoo removal itself:

The Process:

Treatments are spaced at least 8 weeks apart, giving your skin time to heal and fade the tattoo naturally. Most patients see significant fading after a series of sessions, but depending on factors like ink composition and skin response, more sessions may be needed.

Results:

Early fading is common, and results continue to improve with consistency and proper aftercare. Most patients see significant fading after a series of sessions treatments. Once those sessions are complete, we’ll reassess to determine if additional treatments are needed to reach your goals.


Pre- and Post-Care:

We’ll emphasize how to prepare for your sessions—keeping your skin clean, free of creams and self-tanner—and how to care for it afterward with gentle cleansing, antibiotic ointment, and sun protection.

Packages and Pricing:

We offer individual sessions and package deals tailored to your budget and goals. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the package that’s right for you.

Your Tattoo Removal Journey Starts Here

At LaserAway, the free consultation is your first step to a tattoo-free future. We’ll discuss everything you need to know: your goals, candidacy, treatment expectations, aftercare, and pricing—so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
