A Transformative Experience With Tattoo Removal

At Patchouli Beauty Laser Clinic in Coquitlam, most clients say it can sting—sometimes more than the original tattoo. It feels like a quick snap or warm burn. Treatments are usually under 10 minutes, and we use numbing creams or ice to make it easier. Afterward, your skin may feel like a mild sunburn.

 It depends on your tattoo’s size, color, and skin type. Small tattoos often need 3–5 sessions, while larger or colorful tattoos can require 8–12 or more. Sessions are spaced about 6–8 weeks apart. Our Coquitlam team creates a personalized plan for safe, effective removal.

Yes. Patchouli Beauty in Coquitlam uses FDA-approved, advanced lasers that target ink without harming surrounding skin. You might notice mild redness or swelling afterward, but serious issues are rare if aftercare instructions are followed.

 Right after your treatment, the area may look darker or slightly swollen; this is normal. Over the next several weeks, you’ll see gradual fading. Keep the area clean, avoid sun exposure, and don’t pick at scabs. Using recommended ointments helps the skin heal properly.

Most colors can be treated, though some are tougher. Black and dark inks fade fastest, while bright colors like yellow, pink, and white may take extra sessions. Patchouli Beauty lasers can handle all ink colors, fading dark outlines first and gradually removing colorful pigments.
