The safety and efficacy depends on the colour of tattoo, type of tattoo ( amateur or professional) and the site and duration of the tattoo. Laser tattoo removal is the safest option. The cost of treatment depends on the number of sessions and the kind of laser. To choose a laser provider with top hat beam profile Q switched laser or Picosecond laser.
