If you’re looking into tattoo removal costs, you probably have decided you no longer want your tattoo. It could be because you’ve outgrown that stage in your life, or perhaps you keep being passed over for good jobs because of your tattoo. Whatever the reason is, you don’t have to stay with your unwanted tattoo forever, because there are quite effective ways to remove tattoos; the difference, however, is in the price.
There are a number of factors that will determine exactly how much it will cost to remove a tattoo. The color, size, and complexity of the tattoo must be taken into consideration. The price also varies from one method to another so it may be a good idea to explore and get some estimates.
Laser removal is probably the most popular removal option, but is also the most expensive one. Treatments can scale from $200 to $850 for session, depending on the tattoo being removed. The number of sessions can also vary, depending on the size, colors, and complexity of the tattoo, but it usually takes five to ten sessions. At the minimum, laser tattoo removal would cost $1,200 and it could go up to $10,000.
IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy is similar to laser tattoo removal in the fact that an intense light is pulsed on the tattoo, breaking up the ink. This is probably the most expensive removal procedure, costing as much as $10 per pulse. The number of treatments depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo, but in general, the costs can scale between $5,000 – $20,000.
Tattoo excision, where the tattoo is cut out and the skin is sewn back together, could be less costly than laser treatments, or it could be more expensive. It depends on the size and depth of the tattoo. Generally, only one visit is required, but if the tattoo is large, two or more visits might be needed, and skin grafting may be required as well, which will run the costs way up. Cost is too variable to even give an estimated figure here.
Dermabrasion, “sanding off” the tattoo is less expensive than laser tattoo removing. Each dermabrasion treatment can run from $100 to $500. At least three treatments are required to remove the tattoo, so it can sum up to $1,000 or less. This is method is out-fashioned, painful, and less recommended.
The Most affordable tattoo removal option is the tattoo removal cream, also known as “tattoo fading”. These solutions cost around $200 or less for a one time supply. The results are shown after a few weeks, and the tattoo should be completely removed after 2-3 months. This is without a doubt the most cost-effective solution for tattoo removal.
