What influences the number of sessions I’ll need for tattoo removal?

At French Med Spa + Health, we know every tattoo tells a different story, and that means every removal journey is unique. Typiaclly, 4 to 20 sessions leads to optimal results, but your skin care provider may recommend more or less depending on your individual case. Factors that influence the number of sessions you may need include: The size of the tattoo How many colors were used How deep the ink is How your skin responds During your consultation, we’ll walk through these details together and create a customized plan for your tattoo removal. We ensure your care plan is realistic, respectful of your time, and focused on results.

Is the Picosure laser safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, and we understand why this question matters. Many of our clients with more melanin-rich skin have been told in the past that laser treatments aren’t an option. But that’s no longer the case. PicoSure uses ultra-precise energy that targets the ink, not the surrounding skin. That means less risk of pigmentation changes and better peace of mind. At French Med Spa + Health, we personalize every tattoo removal in St. Charles to support safety, clarity, and confidence—no matter your skin tone.

Can Picosure remove tattoos treated elsewhere?

It can! Many of our clients come to us after trying other laser treatments with limited success. PicoSure’s advanced picosecond technology can break down stubborn pigment that older lasers may have missed, including multicolor ink or deep-set lines. If you’re looking for more effective tattoo removal in St. Charles, we’re here to help you pick up where past treatments left off—with greater clarity and comfort.

Consultation

Every tattoo has a story—and so does your skin. Your provider takes time to understand both before tailoring your treatment plan, ensuring every session is purposeful, clear, and aligned with your expectations.

Treatment

During your session, we use cooling measures and precise energy delivery to ensure comfort. PicoSure’s pressure wave technology breaks ink into tiny particles. This makes it easier for your body to naturally clear the ink.

Results

After your tattoo removal in St. Charles, you may notice light redness or warmth in the treated area—both good signs that your skin is responding. With each session, the tattoo becomes less visible as your skin begins to clear.
