Laser Tattoo Removal
Tattoos are personal. But over time, so are the decisions to remove them. Whether your ink no longer represents who you are, doesn’t look the way you hoped, or simply doesn’t fit your current lifestyle, laser tattoo removal offers a clean way forward. At Winnie King, MD Aesthetics in Houston, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to help you safely and effectively fade or eliminate unwanted tattoos—without damaging your skin.
This isn’t about regret—it’s about renewal.
Why Choose Winnie King, MD Aesthetics for Tattoo Removal
Not all lasers—and not all providers—deliver the same results. What sets us apart is our combination of advanced technology with medical expertise. Dr. Winnie King takes a personalized approach to every patient, tailoring each treatment to your skin type, tattoo characteristics, and overall goals.
At our Houston office, you’ll find a private, supportive environment where you can ask questions, feel heard, and receive a treatment plan built for your unique needs.
Some tattoos are easier to remove than others, but with the right technique, the right timing, and the right care, the skin beneath can recover and renew. Our goal isn’t just to erase ink—it’s to restore your confidence.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Tattoo ink sits deep within your skin, which is why removing it requires more than just topical solutions. Laser tattoo removal uses focused light energy to break down the ink particles under your skin. Once shattered into smaller fragments, your body gradually clears them away through its natural processes.
Each session targets specific ink colors and layers, meaning darker and brighter pigments can be reduced with precision. Over time, the tattoo fades, often disappearing entirely, depending on the depth, color, and age of the ink.
The process is safe, non-invasive, and does not involve cutting or burning the skin. And at our Houston clinic, every treatment is designed with your comfort and results in mind.
What to Expect from Your Laser Tattoo Removal
Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation. We’ll evaluate the size, color, location, and age of your tattoo, as well as your skin tone and medical history. Based on these details, we’ll outline a series of sessions designed to gradually fade the tattoo while keeping your skin as healthy as possible.
Most patients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to allow proper healing and pigment clearance between visits. Some factors that influence how quickly your tattoo fades include:
- The type and depth of the ink
- How long you’ve had the tattoo
- Whether the ink was professionally or amateurly applied
- Your skin tone and overall health
Each session typically lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the tattoo’s size. During the procedure, you may feel a quick snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin. While not entirely pain-free, it’s very manageable, and we offer ways to minimize discomfort throughout the process.
Customized Treatment Plans for Long-Term Results
At our Houston office, we know that no two faces—or skin concerns—are alike. That’s why every Aerolase treatment plan is customized to meet your individual goals. Some patients see dramatic improvements after just one session, while others benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced out every few weeks.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and recommend a schedule that works best for your skin type and lifestyle. Whether you’re preparing for a big event or just want to improve your skin’s long-term health, we’ll help you design the perfect plan.
Many of our clients combine Aerolase with other in-office procedures like microneedling or chemical peels for even more dramatic results. If you’re already on a skincare regimen, we can help you integrate Aerolase seamlessly to enhance your existing routine.
Is Laser Tattoo Removal Safe?
Yes. Laser tattoo removal is FDA-approved and widely regarded as the safest method available for removing ink without surgery. At Winnie King, MD Aesthetics, we use technology that’s gentle on skin and effective on even tough pigments. We also monitor your skin’s response throughout your treatment journey to ensure proper healing and to minimize any risk of scarring or discoloration.
Because the process is non-invasive, you don’t have to worry about long recovery periods. Most people resume their normal activities immediately, with only minor redness or sensitivity in the treated area for a few days.
Results You Can Count On
Laser tattoo removal isn’t instant—but it is transformative. With each session, you’ll notice the ink lightening, and the tattoo becoming less visible. For some, this means complete removal. For others, it may mean enough fading to cover the tattoo with a new design. Either way, you’re taking control over how your skin looks and feels.
The number of treatments needed varies widely. Some small or lightly-inked tattoos can fade in just 3–5 sessions, while larger, more colorful pieces may require 6–10 or more. We’ll guide you every step of the way, setting realistic expectations and celebrating your progress.
If you’re ready to make a change, we’re here to help. Schedule your consultation today and let us walk you through your options for professional laser tattoo removal in Houston. At Winnie King, MD Aesthetics, we believe your skin should reflect your present—not your past.
