Tattoo Removal

Whether you are ready to remove a tattoo completely or fade it enough for a cover up, laser tattoo removal at NYA Med Spa is the most effective way to do it. We use a Q-switched laser that delivers very fast pulses of light energy.

The light is absorbed by the tattoo ink, breaking it into smaller particles that your body's immune system then clears away naturally over the following weeks. Different ink colors respond differently, and we will walk you through realistic expectations during your consultation.

Tattoo removal is a process. Most tattoos take several sessions spaced about six to eight weeks apart, which gives your body time to clear the broken down ink in between. Each session at our Grand Rapids location takes anywhere from a few minutes for a small tattoo to thirty minutes for larger pieces.

We use numbing cream and a chilled air device for comfort. After a session, the treated area will look slightly raised, possibly white, and may scab as it heals over the next week or two. Aftercare is simple, and we will guide you through it.
