Get answers to common questions about Tattoo Removal (ClearLift).

Treatment counts vary by tattoo size, ink colors, age, and depth. Most clients need between 4–12 sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart for optimal fading. Your clinician will assess your tattoo and recommend a personalized session plan during consultation.

Yes. ClearLift's non-ablative, adjustable settings make it suitable for darker skin tones, lowering risks of pigmentation changes compared with older lasers. A patch test and tailored parameters ensure safety; your provider will evaluate skin type and plan treatment accordingly.

Most patients describe light snapping, warmth, or tingling during pulses. Discomfort is usually mild; topical numbing or cooling can be applied to improve comfort. Sessions are brief and most clients return to normal activities immediately afterward.

Downtime is minimal for most people. Expect temporary redness, slight swelling, or mild crusting that typically resolves within days to a week. Avoid sun exposure, pick at scabs, and follow aftercare to support healing and prevent pigment changes.

Dark pigments like black and deep blue respond best to ClearLift; lighter colors such as green, yellow, or pastel inks can be more resistant and may require additional sessions or alternative wavelengths. A consultation determines realistic outcomes for each color.

Before treatment avoid sun exposure, tanning, and certain photosensitizing medications. After sessions, keep the area clean, use gentle moisturizer and sunscreen, avoid hot tubs or swimming until healed, and follow your clinician's instructions to optimize results and reduce complications.
