Places for tattoo removal in Vancouver

Perhaps you were a little hasty in getting that Tasmanian devil tattooed on your bicep or your ex-boyfriend's name inked on your neck. But one mistake doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of embarrassment (or a wardrobe full of turtlenecks). Major advances in tattoo removal make it safer and more effective than ever. Eliminate that ink at one of these Vancouver clinics.

Vancouver Tattoo Removal

105 Cordova St W, Vancouver, BC V6B 4K2

A certified and experienced specialist uses a state-of-the-art Hoya Conbio Medlite C6 laser, designed specifically for tattoo removal, to get the offending ink off you. Gastown Tattoo Parlour added the service in response to strong customer demand and books free consultations to discuss your tattoo removal options. They may include cover-up, partial removal or a complete removal, if possible. You’ll receive a professional estimate of cost, number of sessions and likely effectiveness of your procedure.

214-3195 Granville St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3K2

A friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere makes this clinic in the South Granville Laser & Skin Care Centre an attractive candidate to remove your unwanted tattoo. Using advanced non-invasive laser technology, the experienced team safely targets your tattoo ink, causing it to gradually fade with each session. Ask for a consultation and free price estimate.

InkOff Laser Tattoo Removal

3
1381 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC V5V 3E3

The certified laser specialists at InkOff enlist a Quanta Q-Plus series laser with “square beam technology” to remove embedded tattoo ink. In layman’s terms, that means fewer passes of the laser are required over the same area to achieve results, thus minimizing damage. This is also known as “reducing overlap.” InkOff uses the Zimmer Cryo Skin Cooling System for topical pain relief. Book a free consultation to discuss a treatment plan.

East Van Inc

1839 Commercial Dr, Vancouver, BC V5N 4A6

East Van Inc.’s technicians use the heat of laser light to disperse and remove the pigments in tattoo ink and make your unwanted tattoo gradually disappear through your body’s own ecosystem. An individual session costs from $75 to $180 but discounts are available when you book multiple sessions. They also offer low interest rate financing options.

Pacific Dermaesthetics Inc

1790-1111 Georgia St W, Vancouver, BC V6E 4M3

Erase regrettable tattoos safely and effectively at this downtown Vancouver clinic with two laser removal technologies to choose from. The PicoSure laser uses pressure-waves to fracture pigments into pieces small enough to be easily removed by the body (it’s especially good at breaking down green and blue ink). The Medlite C6 Q-Switched laser uses quick-burst photo-thermal energy to heat and break up ink molecules.

Arbutus Laser Centre

106-2025 Broadway W, Vancouver, BC V6J 1Z6

This comprehensive laser therapy centre offers two different types of lasers to successfully remove most tattoo colours. While they note that amateur tattoos are the easiest to remove, they also remove professional tattoos, radiation marker tattoos used in cancer treatments and skin trauma resulting from accidents. Topical anaesthetics are available to help control pain during removal sessions.
