Tattoo Removal Before and After: What to Expect

When considering tattoo removal, nothing is more encouraging than seeing before-and-after transformations. At Denver Dream Medspa, we help patients in Denver experience dramatic results through safe, effective laser tattoo removal.

What to Expect Before Tattoo Removal

  • Consultation: We assess your tattoo’s size, color, and placement.

  • Plan: We provide an estimated number of sessions.

  • Prep: Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanner before treatments.

During Treatment

  • A protective shield covers your eyes.

  • The laser targets pigment while leaving surrounding skin intact.

  • Sessions last from a few minutes to half an hour.

After Tattoo Removal

  • Immediately: Mild redness, swelling, and frosting (temporary whitening).

  • 1–3 Days: Tenderness, similar to a sunburn.

  • 1–2 Weeks: Healing and fading begin.

  • After Multiple Sessions: The tattoo fades significantly or disappears entirely.

Before & After Results

Patients see tattoos fade gradually with each session. Black ink usually fades first, while colors may require more treatments.
