Luckily, the HELIOS IV 785™ is a lot more comfortable than traditional laser tattoo removal (some of you reading this may have even tried older technology and stopped because of the pain). With our technology at Elegance, the treatments (which can range from 20-40 minutes depending on the size of your tattoo) feel more comparable to the flick of an elastic band. Prior to beginning your treatment, a topical numbing agent can be applied to help reduce any discomfort. Some of our clients opt for this, and some are fine without—it is totally personal preference.
