Tattoo regret can happen for many reasons. A tattoo may no longer reflect who you are, its appearance may have changed over time, or you may simply want clearer skin. Cosmetic tattoos and microblading can also become unwanted as pigment fades, changes color, or no longer matches your preferred look.
At The Kaga Institute, our team provides advanced laser tattoo removal for traditional and cosmetic tattoos. Using enlighten®, we can customize treatment according to the tattoo’s color, depth, location, and type of pigment.
How can The Kaga Institute help me remove unwanted tattoos?
We provide:
enlighten®
enlighten® uses advanced picosecond and nanosecond laser technology to break tattoo ink into smaller particles that can gradually be cleared by the body.
Because tattoos can contain different colors, pigment types, and depths of ink, having multiple wavelengths and pulse durations allows our team to customize treatment instead of approaching every tattoo the same way.
Sessions are spaced apart to give the skin time to heal and the body time to clear fragmented pigment. The total number of treatments varies considerably from one tattoo to another.
Can microblading and cosmetic tattoos be removed?
Yes. Laser treatment may also be used for certain unwanted cosmetic tattoos, including microbladed eyebrows and other permanent makeup.
Cosmetic pigments can behave differently from traditional tattoo ink, so these treatments require careful evaluation and precise laser settings. Our team will assess the pigment, color, location, and previous treatments before determining whether laser removal is appropriate.
Will my tattoo be completely gone?
Complete removal is possible for some tattoos, but it can’t be guaranteed. Results depend on factors including the tattoo’s colors, ink composition, depth, density, location, age, and your body’s response to treatment.
Some tattoos clear significantly while others retain small amounts of pigment even after multiple sessions. During your consultation, our team can evaluate your tattoo and give you a better idea of what may realistically be achieved.
How many tattoo removal treatments will I need?
There isn’t one treatment schedule that applies to every tattoo. Professional tattoos with dense or layered pigment may require more sessions, while smaller, lighter, or already-faded tattoos may respond more quickly.
Treatments are generally spaced several weeks apart because tattoo removal continues after you leave the office. The laser breaks apart the pigment, and your body gradually clears those particles between sessions.
Can older tattoos be removed?
Yes. Older tattoos can often respond well to laser removal because some of their pigment has already faded or been naturally cleared over time. However, age alone doesn’t determine how easily a tattoo will respond.
Ink color, depth, density, location, and whether the tattoo has been layered or covered with additional ink can all influence the removal process.
