Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser removal on the Toro platform, to fade unwanted ink, brow pigment or a tattoo you plan to cover up.

Physician oversight, at Clinique One Skin in LavalDirections

How It Works

Toro’s pico + nano technology breaks ink down precisely while protecting your skin. Your body then clears the particles, and that takes time.

The Toro laser at Clinique One Skin

At Every Session

Target
The laser delivers precise energy into the skin to reach the tattoo pigment.
Break
The pigment absorbs that energy and breaks into smaller particles.
Clear
Over time, your body eliminates the particles and the tattoo fades.

Plan for 6 to 12 Sessions

That is most tattoos, 6 to 8 weeks apart. Pick a number to see how long it runs, from your first session to your last.

Most tattoos

About 7 to 20 months

From 6 sessions at 6 weeks apart, to 12 at 8 weeks apart

Weeks between sessions

Worked out from the clinic’s figures. Some tattoos need fewer or more sessions, and your consultation gives you a plan and an estimated timeline.

What Changes the Count

Before a session, the Toro’s screen asks for four things.

Questions

Something else on your mind? Call 514-983-3409, or ask at your complimentary consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the tattoo’s size, colour, age, depth and location, and the type of ink. Most need 6 to 12 sessions, some fewer or more. At your consultation we assess your tattoo and give you a plan and an estimated timeline.

Can every tattoo be removed?

Most can be significantly faded or completely removed, but results vary from person to person. Black and dark blue typically respond best. Lighter colours like green, turquoise, yellow and white may need additional treatments or may not disappear completely. We also treat residual ink from past removal and ghosting after treatments.

Can a tattoo get darker?

Yes, some inks may turn darker under the laser, mostly light colours such as white, pink or beige, which are often used in permanent makeup. That is why a small test spot may be done first.

Does it hurt?

Most people compare it to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Some discomfort is expected, but treatments are very quick, with cooling technology, and a numbing cream may be recommended for more sensitive areas.

Does it leave scars?

Performed by experienced professionals with appropriate settings, it does not typically cause scarring. Following your aftercare is essential. Scarring from the original tattoo may still show once the ink is gone.

What side effects are possible?

Redness, swelling and some blistering or crusting are common after a session, and usually settle as the skin heals. Some people get lighter or darker patches, which often fade with time but can sometimes last.

What should I do in the first days?

Follow your aftercare instructions, and don’t pick at blisters or crusts, which can lead to infection or colour changes. Protect the treated skin from the sun, and ask your provider for how long.

How long should I wait between sessions?

Generally 6 to 8 weeks. Your skin has time to heal and your immune system has time to clear the ink particles. Waiting often leads to better results and reduces the risk of complications.

How much does it cost?

Your price depends on tattoo size, ink colour, density, location and the number of sessions. At your complimentary consultation we assess your tattoo and give you a transparent quote.
