Tattoo removal results can vary dramatically, even between clinics using the same laser.
Many clients come to Bush Whacked Laser in Edmonton after feeling like progress stalled at other practices.
Often, the issue isn’t the laser. It’s the settings.
Some clinics use conservative tattoo removal settings to:
• Avoid blistering
• Minimize discomfort
• Reduce visible side effects
• Move quickly between clients
Lower settings are not automatically wrong; but they may slow fading significantly.
Tattoo depth varies.
Ink density varies.
Black ink behaves differently than color.
Each tattoo responds differently over time.
As pigment breaks down, treatment strategy should change.
At our Edmonton clinic, we begin tattoo removal clients with:
• Assessment
• Test pulse
• Observation period
This confirms response before full treatment.
It protects your skin and improves long-term consistency.
Pre-selling full removal packages assumes a fixed number of sessions.
Some tattoos fade quickly.
Others require adjustments.
Selling a number before biology responds can misalign expectations.
Tattoo removal is a process.
Settings matter.
Reassessment matters.
Experience matters.
If you’re unsure why progress stalled, start with an assessment.
