Frequently Asked Questions

How many tattoo removal sessions will I need?

Depending on the size and color(s) of your unwanted tattoo, it could take anywhere from 3 to 8 sessions to achieve maximum pigment removal. We space each of these sessions about 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow the body time to heal from the treatment. Based on the amount of ink pigment and color of the tattoo, we usually see about a 20% reduction in the overall appearance of a tattoo per session.

Can you completely remove my tattoo?

Contrary to popular belief that some colors cannot be removed with laser tattoo removal, advanced technology has allowed us to achieve near-100% removal of your unwanted ink.

How long does tattoo removal take?

Depending on the size of the tattoo, a single laser tattoo removal session in Austin, TX could last anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour.

Does tattoo removal cause scarring?

When used in the hands of a highly qualified professional like the ones at Helio Health and Wellness, there are a variety of ways that we can treat the skin beforehand and afterwards to ensure minimal damage and avoid scarring. What most people are accustomed to seeing after removing a tattoo is the scar tissue that formed as a result of the initial tattoo.
