I’ve been coming here for a little over a year and have completed 6 sessions so far. I’m honestly surprised to see negative reviews, because my experience has been the opposite. I’m currently removing 7 tattoos - some only a few years old, others around 15 years old. The older tattoos faded much faster; most are nearly gone after 6 sessions, which aligns with what the staff told me to expect. One even had quite a bit of color, and it’s almost completely gone now. I’ll probably need just 1-2 more sessions for that one (due to the colors). The newer tattoos (all black ink) have also faded significantly after 6 sessions, though they’re progressing at different rates. I did a lot of research beforehand and understand that removal depends on several factors - placement, age, colors, and how heavy-handed the artist was. Since mine were done by different artists, I can definitely tell which ones had more ink packed in. Based on that, I expect those will take closer to 10–12 sessions, which is completely normal and in line with the quotes I received elsewhere before choosing LaserXX. From my progress so far, I’m confident they’ll be gone around the 10-session mark, with maybe a couple needing an extra treatment or two. A lot of people expect tattoo removal to be quick, but it isn’t - it takes time for the ink to break up and for your body to process it, which is why you have to wait weeks between sessions. Sometimes tattoos even look darker or “blown out” at first as the ink breaks apart. I’ve noticed this especially with my fine-line tattoos, but over time they’ve continued to fade just as expected. I’d also like to add that I live a very healthy lifestyle. I eat well, exercise regularly, don’t smoke, and take care of my skin - which I’m sure has contributed to my success. Overall, I don’t think this place is a scam at all - in fact, I believe their pricing is very fair for LA. The staff is consistent, professional, and always pleasant to work with. It’s the same team every time I go, and I’ve only ever had positive experiences. I’ll definitely continue coming here and recommend them to anyone considering tattoo removal. I’ve added a few before and after pics to show my results. Most are even more faded than the photos, but I got another session today and they are too red to photograph accurately.
