Laser Tattoo Removal
Rediscover the Joy of a Fresh Start
Some tattoos are meant to be with you for your entire life. But other times, a tattoo may not reflect who you currently are. Whether you’ve outgrown a tattoo or got one in a moment of indiscretion, Epione is here to provide effective laser tattoo removal in Beverly Hills. Reduce or even fully remove tattoo ink through a series of professional laser treatments in a state-of-the-art facility.
Tattoo Removal Based on Your Skin’s Needs
For an optimal tattoo removal experience, you need someone who understands the needs of different skin types. At Epione, we find a laser tattoo removal solution that works with your body’s natural skin factors, providing a personalized solution for every patient. After each treatment session, you should be one step closer to achieving your goals.
Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?
The increased precision of lasers allows tattoo removal to be far less uncomfortable than it once was. The device Dr. Ourian uses directs the energy directly to the ink particles within the skin while minimizing damage to surrounding cells and tissues. However, because the level of energy needed to break down pigment is a particular strength, there can be mild pain. Fortunately, each treatment lasts mere minutes and it will seem like you are done almost as soon as the treatment starts. Our patients report having a positive experience that minimizes stress and makes tattoo removal easy and convenient.

Will My Skin Need to Recover?
Some swelling and redness is entirely normal for a few days. But this quickly fades and should not prove an issue overall. Some itching and eventual flaking are also normal as skin cell turnover occurs. However, we recommend avoiding certain factors until your skin returns to normal. These include:
- Excess sun exposure
- Abrasive or harsher skin products (retinoids, vitamin C)
- Itching or scratching at the treatment site
Dr. Ourian will also provide instructions for how to care for the skin after treatment. Certain creams and ointments may help with any discomfort by reducing inflammation and maintaining the skin’s moisture.
How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions needed will depend on the amount of pigment to be broken down, but it typically requires between 6 and 12 sessions. During your consultation, Dr. Ourian will evaluate the tattoos you want removed and can provide an estimate based on his experience with similar tattoos.
Sessions are typically spaced apart by about four weeks. We work with patients to find a scheduling routine that works well for them based on their budget and goals. Our goal is to help you achieve the results you want on your own terms.
Will My Tattoo Be Fully Gone?
Laser tattoo removal can fully reduce the majority of tattoos. However, there can be some variation depending on tattoo color and density. For example, dense tattoos (like tribal tattoos or black-out sleeves) will not only require more treatments but are more challenging to fully remove. Ink also plays a role. Black ink is typically the easiest to remove (it absorbs more wavelengths of the laser). By the same principle, purple, yellow, and white ink tend to be more resistant to laser treatment due to reflecting more wavelengths. Additionally, cover-up tattoos can take more treatment due to the greater amount of ink in the skin.
Dr. Ourian looks at all of these factors when building a treatment plan for his patients. He is honest with each patient about what results they can expect and will provide an accurate estimate before you commit to treatment.
