What Drives the Average Cost of Tattoo Removal?
There are two things to keep in mind when you are looking for the average cost of tattoo removal. One is the cost per session, and the other is the number of sessions you will need.
Average Prices Do Not Include California for Laser or Tatt2Away
Cost per session
The average cost of tattoo removal treatments can vary based on several factors, with one of the most significant being the size of the tattoo.
Most removal businesses will charge different rates depending on the tattoo’s size. Very small tattoos, at a bargain-priced clinic, may cost as little as $50 (around A$80) per treatment. A full sleeve or back tattoo, on the other hand, could cost $1,000 (around A$1,570) per session or more. There’s a lot of variation in pricing, and most tattoos fall somewhere in the middle.
Tatt2Away® treatments are typically priced based on the size of the tattoo. Costs can range from $125 (around A$200) to $450 (around A$700) or more per session, depending on the size
Is That Laser Up-to-Date?
Another factor to consider is the equipment being used. Older, less effective lasers can often be purchased second-hand, allowing some removal businesses to offer incredibly low per-treatment prices. But when an old laser doesn’t remove as much ink, are you really saving money in the long run?
At the other end of the spectrum are the latest multi-frequency laser machines, like the Picosure, which are highly advanced and effective. These machines can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so clinics using such equipment typically need to charge a lot more per session to cover the costs. While the upfront price may be higher, the improved efficiency and fewer sessions required may provide better value overall.
Tatt2Away® prices fall somewhere in the middle range. The equipment costs only a fraction of what a Picosure machine does, but there are still overhead costs involved in the treatment kits and supplies needed for each session. The per-treatment costs are competitive with laser removal and are usually less expensive than seeing a dermatologist using the latest laser technology.
