When It's Time for a Change
The Benefits of Modern Tattoo Removal
Tattoos are a powerful form of self-expression, but over time, your feelings about them may change—and that’s perfectly normal. Whether your tattoo no longer aligns with your personal style, holds sentimental value, or simply doesn’t represent who you are today, you might be considering removal. Fortunately, what was once a painful and costly process has been revolutionized by recent advancements in laser technology, making tattoo removal more effective, accessible, and comfortable than ever before.
Flexible, Transparent Pricing for Your Tattoo Removal Journey
Priced per Square Inch
At Essentially Bare Laser Medspa, located in Cambridge and Boston, our pricing for tattoo removal is customized based on the size of your tattoo, which is determined during your free consultation. We prioritize flexibility and transparency, so there’s no pressure to commit to large contracts—you can pay as you go. Depending on your individual needs, your clinician may suggest a small package of treatments based on the estimated number of sessions required to fully remove your tattoo. However, factors such as skin tone, ink color, density, and the age of the tattoo may necessitate additional treatments.
Laser Tattoo Removal with the Advanced Spectra Q-Switched Laser
At Essentially Bare Laser Medspa, we specialize in safe and effective tattoo removal services that help you achieve clear, tattoo-free skin. Serving both Cambridge and Boston, our experienced clinicians use advanced laser technology to target and break down tattoo ink, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort. Whether you’re looking to remove an entire tattoo or fade it for a cover-up, we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique skin type and tattoo characteristics.

The Spectra Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser, developed by Lutronic, is a powerful and versatile medical-grade laser system widely used in dermatology. Designed to deliver specific wavelengths of light in short, intense pulses, this advanced laser is ideal for a range of skin treatments, including tattoo removal.
Experience Minimal Discomfort
Tattoo removal with the Spectra laser is designed to be as comfortable as possible. You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin, but the laser is non-ablative, meaning it doesn't burn the surrounding skin. This significantly reduces pain compared to older methods. You may experience some temporary puffiness at the treatment site, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Importantly, there’s no bleeding or scabbing involved in the process.
Quick and Efficient Tattoo Removal
The time required to remove a tattoo depends on its size, ink density, and color. While traditional lasers can take up to 20 treatments, the Spectra laser may achieve similar results in half the number of sessions. If you've received partial results from other treatments, our Spectra laser in Boston can help you complete the process effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Advanced Spectra Q-Switched Laser?
The Advanced Spectra Q-Switched Laser is cutting-edge technology specifically designed for effective tattoo removal. It emits high-energy pulses that safely break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Laser tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, but this varies based on individual pain tolerance and the tattoo's characteristics. At Essentially Bare, we prioritize your comfort by using topical numbing cream and advanced cooling technology to significantly reduce any discomfort during your treatment.
How long will a tattoo removal session take?
Most laser tattoo removal sessions at Essentially Bare typically last between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
How does the Advanced Spectra Q-Switched Laser remove tattoos?
The laser targets the tattoo ink with precision, breaking it down into smaller particles. These particles are then absorbed and naturally flushed out by your body’s immune system, gradually fading the tattoo with each session.
How long does it take to see results from laser tattoo removal?
While you may notice some fading after the first session, significant results typically appear after multiple sessions. The body's natural healing processes work to eliminate the fragmented ink particles over time, so patience is key.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required depends on various factors, including the size, color, and age of the tattoo, as well as your skin type. On average, most clients need between 5 to 10 sessions for complete removal, but this can vary.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. These effects usually subside within a few days. Our clinicians will provide you with aftercare instructions to minimize any potential risks.
What should I do after a laser tattoo removal session?
After your session, we’ll provide you with specific aftercare instructions to optimize healing and minimize potential complications. These typically include keeping the treated area clean, protected from the sun, and well-moisturized.
Can the Advanced Spectra Q-Switched Laser remove all tattoo colors?
The Spectra Q-Switched Laser is highly effective on a wide range of tattoo colors, including dark inks like black and blue. Some lighter colors, such as yellow and green, may require additional sessions as they are more challenging to remove, but the laser is still capable of targeting them.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types?
Yes, the Spectra Q-Switched Laser is designed to be safe and effective for a variety of skin types. However, your clinician will assess your skin during the consultation to ensure the best approach for your individual needs.
When will I see results?
Results typically become noticeable after a few sessions, with the tattoo fading progressively with each treatment.
Complete removal may take several months, as the body continues to process and eliminate the broken-down ink particles.
