Laser tattoo removal and the pain index. Tattoo removal is often compared to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin—uncomfortable but manageable for most people. The level of pain varies depending on the tattoo’s location, size, ink color, and individual pain tolerance. Areas with more nerve endings or thinner skin, such as the wrists or ribs, tend to be more sensitive. However, many clinics, including Envision Laser Removal, offer cryogenic cooling devices or numbing agents to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Sessions are typically short, and the sensation subsides quickly afterward. While some mild redness or swelling may occur, patient find the temporary discomfort well worth the long-term results of tattoo removal.

 We use a 10 point scale as a measure of treatment discomfort during our protocoled treatment for patients. The purpose of using th pain scale is to to ensure we balance a protocoled laser treatment with laser comfort in terms of speed and pace of the patient.
