Estimated number of treatments:

This calculator is an estimate for the services of a tattoo removal specialist. Other professionals that remove tattoos include physicians, plastic surgeons and dermatologists, and their fees may be significantly different.

Other factors that can affect the cost of tattoo removal are:

• The type of laser that is used.

• The area of the United States where you have the treatment. Laws, requlations and other factors make pricing higher in some areas than other areas.

• The time of year that you have the treatment. Clinics tend to be busier in the Spring and Summer, which can make pricing higher than during Fall and Winter.

• Purchasing multiple treatments in a treatment package can often result in a discount over paying for each treatment individually.
