How the treatment works
Our approach for a 5x5 area follows the basic mechanism described by our laser service: advanced technology breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles that the body can gradually clear. A single 5x5 appointment is scheduled for 40 minutes, though the visible result after one session varies by ink depth and age.
Because the technology and your body both influence outcome, the number of treatments needed is not fixed. Factors such as how long the tattoo has been in place, how densely the ink was applied, and any previous treatments shape the pace of fading rather than a guaranteed removal timeline.
Preparing and aftercare steps
Preparing for a 5x5 session means limiting recent sun exposure and arriving with clean, uncovered skin over the tattoo. Stonecrest’s humid, subtropical summers and frequent sun make sun protection especially important ahead of treatment. Bring identification and photos of the tattoo if you have them; scheduling around commuter hours or shopping trips near I‑20 and Stonecrest Town Center often works well.
Aftercare centers on protecting the treated area from sun and irritation as tiny ink particles are cleared. Keep the area clean, covered when outside, and follow simple wound‑care guidance. Many local clients prefer January, February, October, or November for larger plans because longer clothing makes sun avoidance easier during healing.
What to expect during session
On arrival you’ll have a short consultation to confirm the 5x5 target and any medical considerations. The procedure itself is allocated 40 minutes and focuses on a precisely marked 5x5 area. Sensations vary by person and location on the body; some clients report brief stinging or snapping sensations, while others describe milder discomfort.
Trade‑offs include targeted fading versus longer removal courses: a focused 5x5 appointment can produce noticeable fading but complete removal usually requires multiple sessions. Service pricing is listed at $225. Plan your visit around Stonecrest access routes like I‑20 and nearby landmarks if you are combining treatment with commuting or shopping.
