Procedure Details and Methods
The clinic offers several methods to remove unwanted ink, including dermabrasion and laser techniques. A single session of Fractat tattoo removal may cost around $900. For patients with two tattoos, the cost is around $1,000 for laser removal. The hospital also uses QSwitch laser technology. This system includes Toning and Fractional modes to break down pigments effectively. A single laser session typically runs around $2,000, while special pricing for certain dermabrasion sessions is around $500.
Treatment Timeline and Recovery
The entire process is designed for efficiency and usually takes just one day. Patients receive a consultation with a dermatologist before the treatment begins. While one session often shows improvement, larger tattoos may need 5 to 6 sessions for the best results. The skin requires a healing period of 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, the treated area will experience crusting and shedding as it repairs itself.
- Avoid sun exposure and hot environments before the visit.
- Stop taking blood thinners before the procedure starts.
- Keep the skin clean and moisturized during the 3-week recovery.
- Protect the area from direct sunlight after treatment.
Quartz Hospital provides transparent pricing, though travel costs like flights, hotels, and transfers are not included in the procedure price. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personalized evaluation of your tattoo and a specific price estimate.
