How much is tattoo removal?
It seems that no one can give a straight answer to this question and if they can, the price is too reasonable to be real (or safe!). So how much will it cost to remove your regret?
Unthink Inc. is a tattoo removal clinic based in Ajax, Ontario. When Jim Trenholm turned the page to the next chapter and opened Unthink Inc. over a year ago, he decided to be as transparent as possible with his clients —particularly with pricing.
Jim aims to make safe tattoo removal accessible to anyone who needs it. By choosing a shared clinic in Ajax, Jim kept his overhead costs low and treatment prices lower. When researching into your tattoo removal treatments, pay close attention to the type of laser used for treatments.
Traditional treatments with Q-switched lasers tend to be a lot cheaper (and can often be found on Groupon) however, they require anywhere from 10 to 14 sessions before clients see complete clearance. With our advanced PicoWay laser, removal can be achieved in as little as six sessions and with minimal risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation. Long-term, PicoWay is the more economical choice and provides a sense of comfort that Q-switched lasers cannot.
When determining your tattoo removal quote, Jim must consider the following four factors:
1. Tattoo’s age.
The newer the ink, the longer it takes to clear. As tattoos age, they tend to fade naturally as the ink is absorbed into the skin. A tattoo that is three months old will most likely take more sessions to clear than one that is a decade old.
2. Tattoo size.
The price per treatment is on the size of the tattoo due to how long each session will take. For clients who wish to remove large tattoos or multiple tattoos at once, Jim will recommend that your meetings are split into two as the body can only process so much ink at once.
3. Location of the tattoo.
The further away the tattoo is from your heart, the more session it may require. The laser breaks up the ink into smaller particles, but it’s your body that needs to expose of them. Blood circulation plays a massive role in this. Tattoos on extremities (finger tattoos for example) take longer to clear than tattoos on the chest.
4. Lifestyle.
What, why?! We understand this sounds irrelevant to the price of your tattoo removal, but it is! If you smoke, don’t exercise or have a weak immune system, your tattoo removal may require more sessions to completely clear. To learn more about why visit our blog on how your immune system impacts your tattoo removal. The more tattoo removal sessions required, the more expensive the process will be.
