Laser Tattoo Removal in Bakersfield
State-of-the-art laser technology that breaks tattoo ink into particles your body can clear — for complete removal, or fading in preparation for a cover-up.
Laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short pulses of light that pass through the skin and shatter ink particles beneath it. Over the weeks that follow, the immune system carries those fragments away and the tattoo fades. Each session clears a little more.
Laser Tattoo Removal at Opal
The number of sessions depends on the tattoo's age, colors, depth, location and your skin type. Black and dark blue inks respond fastest; greens and bright colors take longer. At your consultation Dr. Lundquist will give you an honest estimate rather than a best case.
We take skin safety seriously: settings are chosen for your skin tone, the area is cooled during treatment, and clear aftercare keeps the skin healthy between sessions.

#1 – Consultation
We assess the tattoo and your skin, estimate the number of sessions and discuss the cost of the full course.
#2 – Treatment

Mild blistering, redness or frosting is normal for a few days. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to let the body clear the ink.
FAQ's
How many sessions will my tattoo take?
Most tattoos need 6–12 sessions. Amateur and older tattoos usually clear faster than dense professional work.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
It is often compared to a rubber band snap. Topical numbing and skin cooling make it very manageable, and sessions are short.
Will it leave a scar?
Scarring is uncommon when treatment is performed correctly and aftercare is followed. Any existing scarring within the tattoo will remain.
