Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing is by square inch of tattooed area.  Since tattoo removal requires numerous sessions, we offer several packages and promotions which will be offered to you once you are provided with an estimate for the number of sessions you will need.  For more details take advantage and book yourself a free consultation appointment.  

Simply put, during the laser tattoo removal process, light from the laser penetrates the tattoo pigment in the skin, heating the ink to extremely high temperatures; thus causing the pigment to explode into smaller particles. The body’s natural defence mechanism sends out macrophages (scavenger cells) which then digest the smaller particles and expel them from the body through the lymphatic system.  With the technology we offer, our Q-Plus C laser is capable of selectively heating the tattoo pigment without disrupting the surrounding tissue; thereby, significantly decreasing your risk of blistering and subsequently scarring.  

At Azalea Laser Clinic we are proud to offer laser treatments with Quebec’s FIRST and ONLY Quanta Q-Plus C laser.  The Q-Plus C is a medical laser and is the most powerful three-wavelength Q-switched laser system.  Unlike ANY laser in Quebec, our laser boasts the capability of removing pigmented lesions and ALL tattoo colours on the spectrum.  We are proud to be the FIRST to introduce this highly advanced laser technology in tattoo removal to the province of Quebec.  This revolutionary technology in laser tattoo removal enables our highly trained and professional laser technicians to remove or lighten tattoos of all colours on the spectrum.  During your free no obligation consultation with our onsite Clinical Director Dr. Maryam Majdi you will be educated on the tattoo removal process, the various options available for tattoo removal, our technology and be provided with an estimate.  The information and knowledge you will be provided with will enable you to make an informed decision.

We are confident in our laser’s capacity as it is internationally reputable and has wide spread industrial, scientific and aesthetic applications.  From NASA to the Vatican to laser tattoo removal, Quanta has earned its reputation as having the world’s finest lasers.

It will depend entirely on which treatment you are at.  Your body’s natural defense system requires sufficient time to digest and eliminate the ink particles fragmented by the laser.  As your progress advances, we are able to use higher and higher energies, which calls for longer wait time between sessions.  It will be up to Dr. Majdi to determine how long of a wait you will need to obtain the best results.

While some redness, swelling, (and very rarely blistering), is possible, most people will be able to return to work immediately.  

Absolutely!  There is very rarely any breaking of the skin, so you may go to the gym, work, cook or clean immediately following treatment.  Tanning MUST be avoided for at least 2 weeks following your treatment. Submerging the treatment area in water (pool, bath, hot tub) should be avoided for 1 week.

The number of treatments will vary depending on a number of factors.  During your free, no obligation consultation with our onsite Clinical Director Dr. Maryam Majdi, you will be evaluated and provided with an estimated number of treatments needed.

You must refrain from using tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment or 1 month if you are tanning outdoors in the sun.  This is crucial in order to avoid any potential blistering, or change in pigment due to tanning.  

It is also important to wait at least 2 weeks after your treatment before tanning again.    

Since results will vary depending on a number of factors, this question will more appropriately be answered after your assessment during your free, no obligation consultation with our Clinical Director Dr. Maryam Majdi.

With our Quanta Q Plus C laser containing 3 lasers within its unit, it will be able to effectively and safely target all colours on the spectrum, including greens and blues, which have been previously difficult to target with older generations and current lasers.

As with any form of tattoo removal, there are always risks involved with this treatment.  Common risks include blistering, hypopigmentation, and hyperpigmentation.  However, with our technology being the most advanced with laser tattoo removal in the world, the associated risks are significantly reduced.  It is important to understand that certain drugs, tanning or underlying conditions may make you more prone to these risks.  Please inform our Clinical Director, Dr. Maryam Majdi, of any drugs/supplements, or any underlying conditions you may have to ensure your safe and effective treatments.
