We now offer laser tattoo removal with the Astanza system, a best-in-class solution designed to treat black and colored tattoo ink on virtually all skin tones. While getting tattoos may be a rite of passage for some, not all tattoos age well, and there may come a time when it makes sense to remove them. Other tattoos may no longer have the same sentimental value as they once did.

How Does the Astanza Laser Work?

Astanza laser tattoo removal is a noninvasive treatment that uses advanced dual-wavelength technology to safely and effectively fade unwanted tattoos. By delivering ultra-fast pulses of light energy, the laser system targets ink pigments beneath the skin, breaking them down into microscopic particles that the body can naturally eliminate over time.

At Holcomb–Kreithen, we use the Astanza Duality Signature and Astanza Trinity devices, which are designed to treat a full range of ink colors, including traditionally stubborn hues like red, green, and yellow. This modern approach enhances precision and minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, allowing for a safer, more effective experience across a wide range of skin types and tattoo styles.

Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal

Minimal discomfort: With topical numbing and advanced laser speed, most patients report only mild, manageable sensations during treatment.
Customizable for all tattoo types: Whether your ink is layered, professional, or amateur, Astanza devices can be tailored to your tattoo’s depth and density.

No harsh chemicals: Unlike creams, laser tattoo removal is gentle, controlled, and proven to work over time.
Quick sessions with lasting impact: Most treatments take just minutes, making it easy to fit into even the busiest schedule.

What to Expect During Treatment

We begin by cleansing the area and may apply a numbing solution to ensure your comfort. Most sessions last five minutes or less, depending on the size and complexity of your tattoo. As the laser passes over the site, you may feel a snapping or prickling sensation, often described as similar to getting a tattoo. After your session, a cooling compress is applied to soothe the skin.

Is There Downtime?

There is no formal recovery period after treatment. You can return to your regular routine immediately, though we recommend avoiding sun exposure and following our aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and prevent pigmentation changes.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients require 4–6 sessions, spaced about six weeks apart, to achieve their tattoo removal goals
Factors such as ink depth, density, age of the tattoo, and skin type can all impact your treatment timeline
