About Laser Tattoo Removal at The MedSpa on 5th
At The MedSpa on 5th, we use industry-leading laser technology to break down ink particles and fade your tattoo to your desired results in the fewest amount of treatments. We offer complete tattoo removal, selective tattoo removal, and fading for cover-up tattoos to meet individual motivations for removing or modifying unwanted ink.
Natural Fading of Tattoos
Although tattoos are permanent, your body’s immune system immediately works to remove your tattoo the moment ink is inserted into your skin. This natural immune process is why tattoos fade and lose color over time.
However, this doesn’t answer the age-old question of why tattoos are permanent. When a tattoo is applied, ink particles are embedded in the dermis, the deepest layer of skin. The size of the ink particles are much larger in relation to the bacteria eating cells that your immune system sends to process and remove the ink. Instead, the cells continuously graze away tiny fragments of ink over a long period of time, causing your tattoo to slowly fade but also allowing the ink to stay permanently etched in your skin.
How It Works
Laser tattoo removal speeds up the natural fading process by assisting your immune system and shattering the large ink particles into small fragments that are easier for the bacteria eating cells to absorb and flush away. Our Duality laser uses light energy to target the large ink particles in your skin’s dermis. Each pulse of the laser emits a wavelength of light onto the tattoo that selectively targets the colors found in the ink particles. The particles absorb the light energy, heat up, and shatter into significantly smaller particles without harming surrounding skin tissue. Over the weeks following treatment, the nanoparticles are flushed out through your lymphatic system, successfully speeding up the natural fading process.
Multiple treatments are needed to target the varying layers of ink that make up a tattoo. Each laser treatment targets the shallowest layer of ink, shattering every ink particle until it reaches the deepest layer. You will witness your tattoo fade more and more with each treatment until you reach your desired goal.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
Duality Laser
The MedSpa on 5th uses the state-of-the-art Astanza Duality laser to perform laser tattoo removal, pigmented lesion removal, and vascular lesion removal. Widely regarded as the industry’s most reliable laser system, the Duality laser is trusted by renowned physicians, leading tattoo removal clinics, skilled tattoo artists, and the top medical spas around the world, including our Mount Dora, Florida practice.
The Duality is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that features an ultra-short pulse duration (6000 picoseconds), high peak power, and features essential 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths for versatility of treatment on the most popular tattoo pigments and unwanted lesions. It can treat and completely remove a wide range of tattoo ink colors including black, brown, violet, blue, red, orange, green, and yellow and delivers safe treatments for all patient skin types I-VI. All of these features combined allow the Duality to remove tattoos faster with better results.
The Duality’s pulse duration and high pulse energy creates a strong peak power and photo-acoustic waves for optimal pigment fracturing in both tattoos and pigmented lesions. Higher peak power leads to better pigment shattering and faster removal of unwanted tattoos and skin blemishes.
Furthermore, the Duality uses a homogeneous beam profile for maximum accuracy and a square spot beam for minimized treatment overlap. The Duality provides safe treatment application and reduced risk of thermal injury and other unwanted side effects, especially for darker skin types, all while delivering high-performance treatments and flawless results.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need 5 to 10 treatments for complete tattoo removal and 3 to 4 treatments for sufficient fading. During your initial consultation, our laser technician will use a list of factors to assess your tattoo and best determine the number of treatments you will need. These factors include:
How long are treatments?
Laser tattoo removal is a very fast procedure that lasts anywhere from a few seconds to 15 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo being treated.
When will I see complete results?
A minimum of 6 to 8 weeks is required between treatments. That being said, the time it takes to reach your desired results depends on the number of treatments your unique tattoo will need plus the 6 to 8 week healing period between each treatment.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Laser tattoo removal feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Depending on your pain tolerance, the laser can feel similar to get a tattoo applied but takes a fraction of the time that tattoo application takes. Overall, the procedure is very tolerable. The MedSpa on 5th offers skin numbing solutions to alleviate your skin prior to treatment.
Can you fade my tattoo for a cover up?
Yes! Cover ups are much easier to apply after the existing tattoo has been faded. Laser tattoo removal creates a cleaner canvas for tattoo artists to work on and also opens up more flexibility with your cover-up size, colors, and design elements. Our Mount Dora medspa also provides selective tattoo removal for interested patients who want only a specific part of their tattoo removed while leaving the surrounding ink untouched.
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The MedSpa on 5th provides affordable pricing based on the size of your tattoo. Our complimentary, no-obligation consultations are designed to educate you about the procedure, assess your tattoo, and determine a pricing plan that best fits your needs. Since virtually every tattoo requires multiple treatments to target the layers of ink that make up a tattoo, we offer treatment packages and discounts to help you save.
Is laser tattoo removal dangerous? Are there any side effects?
Laser tattoo removal is the safest method for removing tattoos. We use FDA-approved laser technology that is trusted and used by leading practitioners worldwide. Our technicians use custom protocols for your tattoo and skin type to ensure the safest application and removal of your tattoo. Furthermore, our Duality laser specifically targets the ink in your skin without harming any surrounding tissue.
After your treatment, you may experience temporary redness, itchiness, swelling, blistering, scabbing, and/or pigmentation changes. With proper aftercare, all of these side effects will heal over the weeks following each treatment.
