about laser tattoo removal
Laser tattoo removal is the best method for getting rid of unwanted ink. Unlike ineffective tattoo creams that use false advertising or invasive procedures like salabrasion, dermabrasion, excision, and acid injections that are painful and result in scarring, laser tattoo removal offers a fast, safe, and noninvasive solution that is extremely effective.
Our Technology | The Astanza Duality
A laser clinic is only as good as the technology it uses. That’s why we’ve invested in the industry-leading Astanza Duality laser. To ensure Regretful Heart delivers the best results throughout Richmond, we spent years researching the right technology to add to our practice. We are confident that our laser and skilled technicians will provide your skin with the best treatments and removal results that Virginia has to offer.

FAQs
-
FOR COMPLETE REMOVAL, MOST PEOPLE WILL NEED BETWEEN 5 TO 10 TREATMENTS. FOR FADING OR LIGHTENING TO PREPARE FOR A COVER-UP, YOU MAY ONLY NEED 2 TO 4 TREATMENTS. SINCE EVERY TATTOO IS DIFFERENT, THE NUMBER OF TREATMENTS NEEDED IS UNIQUE FOR EVERYONE AND DEPENDS ON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING:
TATTOO AGE
TATTOO LOCATION
TATTOO COLORS
SKIN TYPE
INK DENSITY
TYPE OF TATTOO (AMATEUR VS. PROFESSIONAL)
PRE-EXISTING SCARRING
PERSONAL HEALTH
-
FINAL RESULTS CAN BE CALCULATED BY ADDING THE NUMBER OF TREATMENTS NEEDED PLUS THE 6-WEEK HEALING PERIOD NEEDED BETWEEN TREATMENTS. MOST CUSTOMERS WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT FADING WITHIN THEIR FIRST FEW TREATMENTS.
REMEMBER, LASER TATTOO REMOVAL ACTS AS AN ASSISTANT TO YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY BREAKING UP THE INK IN YOUR SKIN TO MAKE THE NATURAL REMOVAL PROCESS EASIER FOR YOUR BODY TO CARRY OUT. THEREFORE, PEOPLE WITH HEALTHIER IMMUNE SYSTEMS USUALLY REQUIRE FEWER TREATMENTS.

THE ONLY SIDE EFFECTS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE ARE TEMPORARY REDNESS, ITCHINESS, SCABBING, BLISTERING, SWELLING, HYPERPIGMENTATION, OR HYPOPIGMENTATION. AGAIN, THESE SIDE EFFECTS ARE TEMPORARY AND INDICATE THAT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WORKING TO REMOVE THE SHATTERED INK FROM YOUR SKIN. WITH PROPER AFTERCARE, THESE SIDE EFFECTS WILL HEAL OVER THE WEEKS FOLLOWING EACH LASER SESSION.

DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF YOUR TATTOO, TREATMENTS LAST ANYWHERE FROM A FEW SECONDS TO 15 MINUTES. REGRETFUL HEART OFFERS SKIN NUMBING SOLUTIONS TO HELP ALLEVIATE YOUR SKIN AND PROVIDE MAXIMUM COMFORT.
