Ready to fade a tattoo that no longer fits you? LA ViE MD offers medically guided laser tattoo removal designed around your tattoo color, skin tone, ink density and treatment goals.
Using advanced picosecond laser technology, treatment is customized to break tattoo pigment into smaller particles while your body gradually clears the fragmented ink over time.
Book Your Tattoo Removal ConsultationHow an Erase Tattoo Laser Works at LA ViE MD
Laser tattoo removal uses short pulses of focused energy to target pigment beneath the skin. The tattoo ink absorbs that energy and breaks into smaller particles, allowing the body to gradually clear the fragmented pigment between sessions.
At LA ViE MD, your treatment begins with a consultation. Your provider reviews the tattoo’s color, depth, density, location and your skin type before selecting appropriate laser settings and building a treatment plan around your goals.
Can Your Tattoo Color Be Treated?
Ink color is one of the biggest factors in laser tattoo removal. Different pigments absorb different wavelengths, which is why treatment settings may change from one color to another. During your consultation, we assess the colors present and explain which areas may respond more predictably and which may require additional sessions.
Black & Dark Blue
These pigments are often among the more responsive colors and may show progressive fading over a series of sessions.
Green & Blue-Green
These shades may require wavelength-specific treatment and a more individualized approach.
Red & Orange
These colors can respond differently from black ink and may need alternate settings during treatment.
Yellow, White & Pastels
These can be more challenging to remove. Certain cosmetic pigments may also react unpredictably, so consultation is especially important.
How Many Erase Tattoo Laser Sessions Will You Need?
Most tattoos require a series of laser sessions rather than one appointment. Each visit targets part of the remaining pigment, while time between sessions allows the skin to recover and the body to process fragmented ink.
Your treatment timeline depends on tattoo age, size, ink density, color, depth, location, scar tissue, skin tone and how the tattoo responds after each session.
Instead of promising a fixed number of visits before seeing your tattoo, LA ViE MD builds a personalized plan after assessing the tattoo in person. You will know what factors may make your tattoo easier or more challenging to fade before moving forward.
Get a Personalized Treatment PlanWhy Picosecond Technology Is Used for Tattoo Removal
Picosecond lasers deliver energy in extremely short pulses. These rapid pulses create a strong photoacoustic effect that can break tattoo pigment into smaller particles while limiting unnecessary heat exposure to surrounding tissue.
This technology can be useful across a range of tattoo colors, including some pigments that are traditionally more difficult to treat. The wavelength and settings are selected according to the tattoo and your skin type.
At LA ViE MD, laser tattoo removal is planned around your individual tattoo rather than applying the same settings to every patient.

What to Expect Before and After Laser Tattoo Removal
Your provider will review treatment expectations, skin-care instructions and possible side effects before your session. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, pinpoint bleeding or blistering can occur after laser tattoo removal. Changes in skin pigment are also possible.
Aftercare Priorities
- Keep the treated area clean and follow your provider’s care instructions.
- Avoid picking, scratching or peeling healing skin.
- Protect the area from unnecessary sun exposure.
- Contact the clinic if you notice an unexpected reaction or signs of infection.
