Whether you want to erase an unwanted tattoo or make room for new art, tattoo removal can help you achieve a fresh start. At ICLS Dermatology, we understand the personal significance behind every tattoo and the decision to remove it. Our goal is to provide a safe, effective, and comfortable experience, helping you feel confident in your skin once again.

ICLS Dermatology is a leader in tattoo removal treatments, servicing the Greater Toronto Area from our advanced facility in Oakville. Under the expertise of Dr. Sheetal Sapra, we utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to target and break down tattoo pigments, ensuring the best possible results with minimal discomfort.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works?

The area will usually be injected with local freezing prior to the treatment to minimize any discomfort. Laser light is then used to break up the colour within the tattoo, which is then reabsorbed by the body and excreted by the normal body systems.

Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal at ICLS?

Patients at ICLS come from across Oakville and the Greater Toronto Area, including Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington, and Hamilton, drawn by our reputation for excellence in care and results. Dr. Sheetal Sapra and his team offer a compassionate and ethical approach, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual needs of the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you completely remove a tattoo?

    Depending on the age, colour, type, and the individual, the tattoo may not completely disappear. 

  • How long does tattoo removal take?

    Patients can expect anywhere from 6-10 treatments, but more may be required depending on the colour of the tattoo. Treatments are normally scheduled anywhere from 4-6 weeks apart to allow for adequate healing time.

  • Can tattoo removal be painless?

    The process of having a tattoo removed can be uncomfortable. Most patients remark that it’s as uncomfortable as getting the tattoo in the first place. In order to minimize discomfort the area will be injected with local freezing prior to the treatment.

  • How much does tattoo removal cost?

    Pricing begins at $365. Contact ICLS to find out more about the treatment.

Aftercare and Recovery

Avoid exposing the area to sunlight for one month before or after treatment. Scabbing will eventually form, however patients should refrain from picking or removing the scab, since this will increase the risk of scarring.

The area will appear as though it has been burned and the colours of ink may appear brighter and darker, which is normal. Many experience blisters, swelling and redness of the treated area post treatment and during this time it is important to protect the areas so the blisters do not pop prematurely.
