How many sessions will I need for laser tattoo removal?

The amount of sessions needed for laser tattoo removal varies on a variety of factors, such as the tattoo’s ink, your body, the area of the tattoo, and more. We can usually remove your tattoo within four to six sessions, but it does require some degree of patience on the patient’s end. If we can’t remove it within six treatments, your next three treatments are free (qualifying tattoos)!

How much does laser tattoo removal cost?

Like any other cosmetic procedure, pricing varies depending on several different factors. With that being said, Dr. Daniel Ritacca and the staff at RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa guarantee your tattoo’s removal in fewer sessions than other leading clinics. This, ultimately, ends up saving you more money as a whole.

Will laser tattoo removal hurt?

Patient comfort is a top priority for Dr. Ritacca and our staff. There may be some discomfort associated with laser tattoo removal, but we will do everything in our power to minimize this discomfort.

How it Works

The Consultation

At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, each initial patient consultation is different.

Depending on your needs, desired treatments, areas of concern, and simply who you are as a patient, we will schedule you with an actual treatment provider to discuss your goals, budget, and more. During this appointment, we will go through before & after photos, your medical history, and any questions you might have. Only then can we make a recommendation for which procedures or treatments may be right for you and why. We will be sure to educate you on how the treatments work, including what to expect during and afterward.

A typical consultation lasts about 40 minutes and is free of charge for all aesthetic treatments, including Laser Tattoo Removal. At the end of your consultation, you will leave our office in Vernon Hills with a thorough, personalized treatment plan. And when you’re ready, we’ll schedule your first treatment session.

Your Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment

As with any procedure at RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, we will begin your laser tattoo removal treatment by ensuring your total comfort in a clean, comfortable, and private treatment room.

Each tattoo removal session is relatively quick, lasting only a few minutes each time. After being provided with a pair of protective eye shields, Dr. Ritacca will determine the most effective wavelength or energy level for your treatment. We then use a small device to pass through the top of the skin and remove the tattoo pigments.

The Recovery

After treatment, you may experience some redness at the treatment area.

This will go away after a few hours. Each treatment has the benefit of little downtime, however we recommend that you avoid strenuous activity for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

Testimonials

Just moved to the area from the city. Great experience and friendly staff.

-Miriam Cardenas

Jacque helped make my skin feel refreshed again even while pregnant, thank youu! <3

-Yoandra Lopez

I have to admit I tend to be skeptical of having treatment to my face however as a former colleague of Jens, I completely entrust her and her expertise with facial procedures and would highly recommend a friend, family member or colleague looking for an esthetician to visit Jen.

Jen is an amazing resource on skincare, products, and knowledgable without pushing product or sales.

I believe she always has my best interest at heart . So much so that I plan an office visit every time I return to Chitown!

Simply put she is amazing and will make you feel the same!
