How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light pulses to target the pigment colours in your tattoo. The energy breaks the ink particles into tiny fragments, which your body naturally eliminates over time.
Imagine laser tattoo removal as if you were breaking down a large boulder into small pebbles, and then into sand that can be easily swept away. It’s a gradual process, requiring multiple sessions with uniquely combined pico and nano technolgies, but it can be worth the patience for a clean slate.
As Canada’s first laser clinic, our dermatologists are leaders in laser treatment procedures. Schedule your consultation today.

At Remington Laser, we’re proud to use the Fotona StarWalker, a Q-Switched laser system. This technology helps us target the tattoo ink without damaging your surrounding skin.
Here are the top benefits of this technology:
- Minimal downtime after treatment
- Minimal discomfort during treatment
- Reduced risk of scarring
What Can You Expect After Laser Tattoo Removal?
Every tattoo is unique, so the number of treatments recommended will vary. However, you can expect a significant fading of your tattoo over time.
During the recovery process, you may experience sensations similar to a sunburn, along with a slightly pink or swollen appearance on the treated area. These side effects will subside within a few hours as your skin heals.
Laser tattoo removal has shown great success in treating black and blue pigments. While red, yellow, and green shades may be more resistant to removal, Fotona StarWalker technology improves our ability to target a wider range of tattoo colours.

What Our Patients Say
My experience with Remington Laser has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was referred by my family doctor, I knew I was in good hands. My initial apprehension about my daughter’s ear damage was quickly dispelled when we met Dr. Remington and his team. Dr. Remington’s transparency and honest approach stood out to me as a leader and innovator. Thanks to his laser techniques, my daughter’s ear damage was repaired painlessly, and she can now wear earrings without any issue. No one would ever know that at one stage she had a tear and I worried she would never be able to wear earrings again.

I first met Dr. Kent Remington after several other doctors were unable to resolve my medical issue. When I arrived at Remington Laser, Dr. R and Pam took their time to understand the problem and my health history. Dr. R never gave up and, with constant kindness and expertise, he resolved the issue that others could not. That was 7 years ago. Since that time, I have had cosmetic procedures with Dr. R and Pam. They provide excellent advice and solutions and only use the best quality “tools and equipment” in their practice. Combined with their unparalleled skills and ability to find the right solution for me, they keep me feeling my very best. There is always a warm welcome from the entire team from the moment I arrive at the front desk. My heartfelt thanks to all at Remington Laser from your grateful and happy patient.

Dr. Kent Remington and Nurse Pam have been so positive with their guidance in my dermatological cosmetic journey so far. My last visit was life-changing, and I feel blessed to have these wonderful professionals in my life. I am over the moon with how I look. Thank you both for your expertise and personable approach!!!
