Tattoo Removal Montreal
Laser tattoo removal is a treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal that uses short, high-energy pulses of laser light to break tattoo ink into tiny fragments. The light passes through the surface of the skin and targets the pigment, and the fragments are then cleared away gradually by the body, with each session reaching a deeper layer of ink.
Laser tattoo removal is most often considered by patients who would like to fade or remove amateur, professional or cosmetic (permanent make-up) tattoos. Most areas of the body can be treated, though more delicate or thin-skinned areas may not be suitable. Because ink is cleared progressively, a series of sessions spaced over time is usually needed, and the number depends on the tattoo’s colours, depth and age.
Because every patient’s skin and tattoo are different, laser tattoo removal at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether the treatment is appropriate for you and discuss a realistic plan, the expected results and any precautions to keep in mind.

Follow-Up & Maintenance
The number of sessions required for laser tattoo removal varies according to the amount of pigment, its depth and the colors present. Thus, the treatment may generally require between 3 and 8 sessions, sometimes more. Each session is spaced 6-8 weeks apart. It is important to protect the treated area from sun exposure between each session and after the last treatment for a period of two months.
Contraindications
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has received Accutane treatment in the past 6 months. Patients who have been exposed to the sun without sun protection within 4 weeks before the treatment date will not be able to receive it.
