Laser Tattoo Removal in Laval
How does laser tattoo removal work at Clinique D?
Dr. Brassard delivers advanced laser tattoo removal in Laval. Trusted dermatologist offering safe, effective solutions to remove unwanted tattoos.
Do you have a tattoo you no longer want to keep? Or permanent makeup that hasn’t aged well? Whether for personal, aesthetic, or professional reasons, laser tattoo removal is today the safest and most effective method to erase a tattoo or permanent makeup, partially or completely. At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Danielle Brassard, a highly experienced dermatologist, offers medical-grade laser tattoo removal in a professional, safe environment focused on visible results.
Laser tattoo removal works on a simple yet sophisticated principle. The laser emits light pulses that specifically target ink pigments under the skin. Each color absorbs a different wavelength, which is why effective treatment requires advanced medical technology capable of treating multiple pigment types.
Once fragmented by the laser’s energy, the ink particles are gradually eliminated by the immune system. Over several sessions, the tattoo lightens until it disappears completely or fades enough to be covered by a new tattoo.
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
Comfortable laser tattoo removal in Laval. At Clinique D, Dr. Brassard uses numbing cream and cooling technology to minimize pain and redness.
The sensation felt during a laser tattoo removal treatment can vary depending on individual tolerance, the area being treated, and the density of the pigment. At Clinique D, we are dedicated to making the experience as comfortable as possible. A numbing cream may be applied before the session, and a cooling system is used throughout the treatment to reduce discomfort and minimize redness.
How many laser sessions does it take to remove a tattoo or permanent make-up?
Tattoo removal requires multiple sessions. At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Brassard tailors safe laser treatments based on your tattoo and skin type.
The number of sessions required depends on several factors:
- The depth and age of the tattoo or permanent make-up
- The colors used
- The density of the ink
- Your skin type and immune system
- The type of ink (professional vs. amateur)
On average, complete removal usually requires 5 to 10 sessions. If you only wish to lighten the tattoo for a cover-up, 2 to 4 sessions may be enough.
Sessions are spaced 6 to 10 weeks apart to give your skin time to heal and allow your body to naturally eliminate the ink particles. This interval is essential to ensure safe and gradual results.
At Clinique D in Laval, you will benefit from the expertise and supervision of Dr. Danielle Brassard, dermatologist.

By choosing treatment supervised by a dermatologist such as Dr. Danielle Brassard at Clinique D, you benefit from advanced medical expertise, precise skin evaluation, and careful follow-up. Every skin reacts differently, and only a trained professional can tailor the treatment to your skin type, scarring history, and the specific features of your tattoo.

What are the possible side effects after tattoo or permanent makeup removal?
Tattoo and permanent makeup removal are generally well tolerated. Clinique D in Laval provides dermatologist-supervised care to minimize side effects.
Tattoo and permanent makeup removal is generally well tolerated, but like any skin treatment, it may cause temporary reactions. The most common side effects include:
- Localized redness and swelling
- Mild scabs or blisters
- Temporary sensitivity or tingling
- Short-term pigment changes (hyper- or hypopigmentation)
Under the supervision of Dr. Danielle Brassard, a specialized dermatologist, these effects are anticipated and carefully managed. Thanks to her skin health expertise, you will receive personalized aftercare adapted to your skin type to support quick healing and minimize discomfort. These reactions usually resolve within a few days to two weeks when medical advice is followed, including avoiding sun exposure.
Tattoo & permanent makeup removal cost – more than just price
Tattoo & permanent makeup removal cost depends on more than price. Choose Clinique D in Laval for safe, effective, dermatologist-led care.
The cost of tattoo and permanent makeup removal in Laval and the Greater Montreal area can vary significantly, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. While it may be tempting to choose the clinic with the lowest price, in tattoo and permanent makeup removal, as in medicine, a lower cost can sometimes reflect compromises in technology, staff expertise, or safety standards.
Although price may influence your decision, it should never be the only factor you consider. Before selecting the dermatology clinic you trust for your tattoo or permanent makeup removal, take the following factors into account.
Factors that influence the cost of tattoo and permanent makeup removal at Clinique D
1. Size of the tattoo or permanent makeup
The larger the tattoo or treated area, the more time, energy, and sessions are required. A small design may need only two or three treatments, while a tattoo covering a large area will require a longer and more costly protocol.
2. Ink colors
Dark pigments such as black usually respond well to lasers, while shades like green, blue, or yellow are more resistant. This can increase the length of treatment and, as a result, the overall cost.
3. Location of the tattoo or permanent makeup
Certain areas of the body, such as the face, neck, feet, hands, or joints, are more challenging to treat because of skin density or blood supply. This can affect treatment response and often requires more caution, meaning additional sessions.
4. Technology used
Not all lasers and technologies are equal. Clinics that use state-of-the-art medical lasers often achieve better results in fewer sessions, but each session may cost more. This higher cost is usually offset by superior effectiveness and a lower risk of side effects.
5. Expertise of the clinic and practitioner
The qualifications of the professional performing the procedure are critical. Tattoo or permanent makeup removal supervised by a dermatologist, such as Dr. Danielle Brassard at Clinique D, ensures thorough skin evaluation, a personalized protocol, and optimal safety at every step.
As you can see, successful tattoo removal depends on several factors: the initial medical evaluation, the quality of the laser, personalized treatment planning, post-treatment care, and clinical follow-up. Choosing dermatologist-led care, like that offered by Dr. Danielle Brassard, means investing in your long-term skin health and maximizing your chances of achieving a natural result, free from unwanted marks.
Is it possible to completely remove a tattoo or permanent makeup?
Tattoo and permanent makeup removal depends on ink color, depth, and skin type. Dr. Brassard at Clinique D ensures personalized, safe treatments.
Dark inks such as black and dark blue usually respond very well to laser treatment. Lighter colors like yellow, green, or white may require more sessions and can, in some cases, be more resistant. That said, today’s advanced technologies make it possible to achieve impressive results, even for complex tattoos and permanent makeup.
During your consultation at Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Danielle Brassard will evaluate your tattoo or permanent makeup, considering its colors, depth, and your skin type, to provide you with a realistic and safe treatment plan.
Am I a good candidate for tattoo or permanent makeup removal?
Wondering if tattoo or permanent makeup removal is right for you? Dr. Brassard at Clinique D evaluates your skin to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Most healthy individuals can benefit from tattoo removal treatment, whether the tattoo is recent or many years old. That said, certain criteria help determine whether the procedure is safe and suitable for you.
You are likely a good candidate if:
- Your skin heals well and does not easily form thick scars (keloids)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are not taking medications or treatments that make your skin more sensitive to light
- You carefully follow aftercare instructions after each session to promote proper healing
Before beginning treatment, Dr. Danielle Brassard will take the time to thoroughly assess your skin and your tattoo to ensure the procedure is right for you and to explain the results you can realistically expect.
Can tattoo removal be partial or done to prepare for a cover-up?
Looking for a cover-up instead of full tattoo removal? Clinique D offers partial laser treatments to fade select areas and give your artist more freedom.
Yes, partial tattoo removal is absolutely possible. This type of treatment targets specific areas of a tattoo—for example, softening lines that are too dark or reducing contrast—to better prepare the skin for a new tattoo.
It’s an excellent option if you want to keep the current placement while giving your tattoo artist more freedom to create a new design. Targeted tattoo removal avoids the need for complete erasure while paving the way for a successful cover-up.
