Laser tattoo removal at Hawaii Natural Medicine uses advanced laser technology to help fade and remove unwanted tattoos. The treatment targets tattoo pigments in the skin with high-intensity light beams, breaking down the ink particles so the body’s natural processes can gradually eliminate them. This safe, precise method works on various tattoo colors and is effective on nearly all skin types.
The laser removal process involves a handheld device that emits intense pulses of light, which penetrate the skin to reach the tattoo ink. These pulses cause the ink particles to shatter, allowing your body’s lymphatic system to naturally filter them out over time. This results in a gradual fading of the tattoo after each session, with multiple treatments typically required for complete removal.

During your first consultation, the specialist will assess your tattoo, skin type, and goals to determine the number of sessions needed. During the procedure, a numbing cream may be applied for additional comfort. Each session typically lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on tattoo size and complexity. You may experience redness, swelling, or slight blistering afterward, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to allow your skin time to heal and your body to clear the fragmented ink.
The number of sessions varies depending on tattoo size, color, and skin type but generally ranges from 5 to 10 treatments.
Some discomfort is common, but a cooling device and numbing cream help make the experience more tolerable.
Sessions can last between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
