Laser Tattoo Removal with PicoSure® in Montréal & Laval.

We remove tattoos with the PicoSure picosecond laser, which shatters ink into finer particles than older nanosecond lasers - meaning fewer sessions and better clearance, including on stubborn colours and darker skin. We give an honest session and cost estimate up front based on your ink, and we prioritize skin safety over rushing the process. All four Montreal and Laval clinics (Downtown, Saint-Leonard, West Island/DDO, and Laval) use the same certified technicians, transparent pricing, and a free consultation. That technology and transparency is why clients rate us among the best tattoo removal providers in Montreal and Laval.

PicoSure® is a picosecond laser — it fires pulses of light measured in trillionths of a second. That ultra-short burst shatters the trapped tattoo ink into micro-particles by pressure rather than just heat, so the surrounding skin is spared. Over the following weeks your immune system clears those particles away and the tattoo fades. Because PicoSure® delivers its energy so fast, it removes the blue, green, and dense black ink older lasers struggled with — in fewer sessions and with a lower risk of scarring. We run PicoSure® at all four of our Montréal and Laval clinics.

It varies. Most tattoos need a planned series of sessions spaced several weeks apart so your body can clear the shattered ink between visits. The exact number depends on the tattoo's size, the ink colours and density, how deep and old it is, and your skin. Amateur and faded tattoos often clear in fewer sessions than dense professional or multi-colour work. If you only want enough fading for a cover-up, that takes fewer sessions than complete removal. At your free consultation in Montréal or Laval we assess your tattoo and give you an honest estimate of sessions and total cost before you commit.

There is some discomfort, but it's brief and very manageable. Most people describe the sensation as a hot snap, similar to an elastic band flicking the skin, and PicoSure® sessions are fast — often just minutes for smaller tattoos. We use cooling to keep you comfortable and can pause any time. Afterward the area may feel like a mild sunburn for a short while. Smaller tattoos are quick and easy to tolerate; for larger pieces we work in stages. Our Montréal and Laval technicians keep every session as comfortable as possible.

Yes. PicoSure®'s 755nm wavelength plus its focused boost is specifically strong on the colours older lasers couldn't shift — stubborn blues and greens — as well as dense black and faded multi-colour work, clearing all ink colours in fewer sessions. It is also a safer choice for darker and ethnic skin tones, because its picosecond pulses target the ink with less heat to surrounding skin, lowering the risk of pigment change. For darker tones and dense ink we treat conservatively. We safely remove ink on all skin tones across our Montréal and Laval clinics.

Pricing is per session and based mainly on the size of the tattoo, starting from $110 for a mini tattoo (up to 2"×2") and scaling up for small, medium, large, and XL pieces such as sleeves and full-back work. Cost also depends on the number of sessions your tattoo needs, which is driven by ink colour, density, depth, and age. Permanent-makeup removal (brows, eyeliner, lip liner) starts from $180. Because every tattoo is different, the only way to get an accurate total is a free consultation at one of our Montréal or Laval clinics, where we measure your piece and map out the full plan.

Your tattoo fades progressively in the weeks after each session as your body clears the shattered ink, which is why we space visits several weeks apart. Aftercare is simple: keep the area clean and protected, apply the soothing ointment we recommend, don't pick at any scabs or blistering, and avoid soaking the area (no pools, hot tubs, or long baths) until it has healed. Most importantly, keep the treated skin out of the sun and use SPF 30+ — sun exposure between sessions slows fading and raises the risk of pigment change. We give every Montréal and Laval client a written aftercare plan.

Keep the Tattoo Out of the Sun

Avoid sun and tanning on the area for at least 2 weeks before. We cannot treat sunburned or freshly tanned skin safely.

Don't Pause on the Spot

Arrive with clean, product-free skin over the tattoo — no lotions, oils, or makeup on the treatment area.

Tell Us Your History

Let us know about medications, recent procedures, skin conditions, cold sores near the area, or pregnancy — it guides safe settings.

Book a Consultation First

Start with a free consultation so we can size your tattoo, assess the ink and your skin tone, and quote sessions and cost.

Protect & Soothe

Keep the area clean and covered as directed and apply the soothing ointment we provide. Mild redness or swelling settles quickly.

Do Not Pick

Let any scabs or blistering heal on their own. Picking can cause scarring and dark marks, especially on deeper skin tones.

Apply SPF 30+ Daily

Treated skin is UV-sensitive. Keep it out of the sun and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ between sessions to protect fading and tone.

Skip Heat & Soaking

Avoid pools, hot tubs, saunas, and intense workouts for a few days so the area can calm and your body clears the ink.

Absolutely — fading for a cover-up is one of the most common reasons clients come to us, and it takes fewer sessions than complete removal. By lightening the existing ink, your tattoo artist has a much cleaner canvas to work with, so the new design covers crisply without the old tattoo showing through. Tell us at your free Montréal or Laval consultation that you're planning a cover-up, and we'll fade exactly to the level your artist needs.
