Tattoo Removal
Break Up with Bad Ink.
Some tattoos capture who you were. Others remind you of a chapter you’d rather close. At Pur Aesthetics and Wellness in Granger, IN, we’re here to help you turn the page. With advanced laser technology, we safely and effectively fade or erase unwanted ink that no longer fits. Whether it’s a full design, a small symbol, or even microblading gone wrong, laser tattoo removal gives you the freedom to move forward with skin that feels like yours again.
What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and break apart tattoo ink beneath the skin. When the laser passes over the tattoo, the ink absorbs the light, shattering pigment into tiny particles that your body’s natural processes can gradually flush away. At Pur Aesthetics and Wellness, our advanced laser technology can remove everything from bold black lines to stubborn reds, greens, and even cosmetic tattoos like brow microblading.
What Tattoos Can We Treat?
Our technology is versatile and effective across different ink types and areas of the body. We can treat:
- Professional tattoos
- Amateur tattoos
- Multi-colored designs
- Black, blue, green, red, orange, and some yellow pigments
- Eyebrow microblading and cosmetic tattoos
- Tattoos on most body areas, including arms, legs, chest, back, and more
How It Works
Lasers are the magic erasers of the tattoo world, but with science behind the scenes.
- Spectrum Q-Switched Nd:YAG/KTP (1064/532 nm) emits precise light wavelengths to target specific ink colors: the 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deep for darker pigments (like black, blue, and green), while the 532 nm wavelength zeroes in on brighter hues (like red, orange, and yellow).
- PicoLazer (Picosecond 1064/532 nm) takes it further. Instead of slower, traditional pulses, it delivers ultrafast bursts of energy that shatter pigment into ultra-fine particles. Smaller particles mean your body clears ink more efficiently, often reducing the number of sessions needed for visible fading.
Your tattoo and goals guide the choice of laser, ensuring safe, effective treatment for even the toughest pigments.
Benefits of Tattoo Removal
Fewer Sessions, Faster Results
With the PicoLazer’s ultrafast pulses, tattoos break down into smaller particles that your body can eliminate more quickly—often reducing the total number of sessions compared to older laser systems.
Multi-Color Precision
Not all lasers can handle the rainbow of tattoo pigments. Our dual-wavelength technology targets both dark and vibrant inks, giving you comprehensive removal no matter the design.
Safe, Skilled, and Skin-Friendly
Backed by years of medical expertise and a team dedicated to your results, every treatment is performed with your safety, comfort, and skin health at the forefront.
A Plan Made Just for You
No two tattoos are the same. We customize every detail—energy, wavelength, number of sessions—so your treatment fits your skin, your tattoo, and your goals.
Confidence Back Where It Belongs
The biggest win? Letting go of ink that no longer serves you—and embracing skin that finally does.
What To Expect During Laser Tattoo Removal
Before
You’ll begin with a consultation where we assess your tattoo’s size, color, age, and location. We’ll also review your skin type and medical history to ensure laser removal is safe and effective for you. Preparation is minimal, but we may ask you to avoid tanning, certain skincare products, or blood-thinning medications before your session.
During
Most sessions last 15–45 minutes, depending on tattoo size. Clients often describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band—quick, sharp pulses of light as the laser works across your skin. We use advanced cooling techniques to maximize comfort throughout the process.
After
You may notice redness, swelling, or slight blistering in the treated area—similar to a sunburn. This is normal and usually resolves within days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, which may include keeping the area clean, applying ointment, and avoiding direct sun exposure while your skin heals.
Results Timeline
Fading happens gradually as your body clears ink particles. Most clients notice visible changes after just a few sessions, though complete removal can take several months and multiple treatments, spaced about 6–8 weeks apart. Darker inks typically respond fastest, while brighter colors may need more sessions.
Am I a Good Candidate for Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo removal is a great option if you’re ready to fade or fully remove an unwanted tattoo. Ideal candidates include those who:
- Are in good overall health
- Have tattoos that are professionally or amateur-applied
- Want to correct cosmetic tattoos like microblading
- Can commit to multiple treatment sessions for optimal results
- Are free from certain skin conditions or photosensitivity disorders
Contraindications may include pregnancy, active skin infections in the treatment area, or certain medical conditions. A consultation with our team will determine whether tattoo removal is safe and right for you.
Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on factors like the tattoo’s size, age, location, and ink colors. Most clients need 6–12 sessions for full removal, but some may require fewer, especially with PicoLazer technology.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
The sensation is often compared to a rubber band snap against the skin. While it’s not pain-free, sessions are quick, and we use cooling techniques to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Can you remove all tattoo colors?
Our Spectrum and PicoLazer devices target a wide range of inks. Dark colors (like black and blue) respond best, while lighter shades (like yellow and white) can be more challenging. We’ll set realistic expectations during your consultation.
Will the tattoo disappear completely?
Many tattoos fade to near-invisibility, though complete removal depends on factors like ink type and depth. Even when traces remain, they are usually much lighter and less noticeable.
Is there downtime after a session?
Most clients resume normal activities right away. Minor redness or swelling is common but temporary. Following aftercare instructions helps ensure smooth healing and optimal results.
