Laser tattoo removal targets pigment—any pigment. That means it can't tell the difference between tattoo ink and your natural melanin. The result? Hypopigmentation, burns, and permanent skin damage that leaves many darker-skinned individuals without options.

Understanding the Fitzpatrick Scale
The Fitzpatrick scale classifies skin types I through VI based on how skin responds to sun exposure and its natural melanin levels.

Type I-III: Fair to Medium Skin
Type I-III: Fair to Medium Skin
Ranges from very fair skin that always burns to medium skin that sometimes burns. These skin types respond excellently to TEPR™ with standard protocols and predictable healing timelines.
Type I-III: Fair to Medium Skin
Ranges from very fair skin that always burns to medium skin that sometimes burns. These skin types respond excellently to TEPR™ with standard protocols and predictable healing timelines.
Type IV: Mediterranean/Olive Skin
Type IV: Mediterranean/Olive Skin
Rarely burns, tans easily. Responds excellently to TEPR® with standard protocols and predictable healing timelines.
Type IV: Mediterranean/Olive Skin
Rarely burns, tans easily. Responds excellently to TEPR® with standard protocols and predictable healing timelines.
Type V: Brown Skin
Type V: Brown Skin
Very rarely burns, tans very easily. TEPR™ is highly effective with careful attention to healing phases. Darker skin types may take longer for complete pigment normalization, but results are consistently excellent. Each skin type has unique healing characteristics that we monitor closely.

Type VI: Dark Brown to Black Skin
Type VI: Dark Brown to Black Skin
Never burns, deeply pigmented. Ideal candidates for TEPR™ when proper protocols and aftercare are followed. Healing timelines may be extended to allow for optimal pigment normalization.

Test Spot Protocol (Types IV-VI)
Before your first full treatment, clients with Fitzpatrick Types IV-VI require a single-dot test spot on the tattoo. This allows us to evaluate your individual healing response and ensure optimal results
Wait Period: 8-10 weeks after test spot before first treatment session begins. This extended timeline allows complete healing and pigment normalization assessment.
Why This Matters: Darker skin types (IV-VI) are more prone to keloid formation. The test spot protocol helps us identify any elevated risk and customize your treatment plan accordingly. When proper aftercare is followed, risk of keloid scarring is minimal.

Full Treatment Timeline
Once the test spot heals successfully:
Complete Removal: 3-5 sessions over 10-15 months
Revision/Cover-Up Prep: 1-3 sessions over 6-12 months
Session Spacing: 8-12 weeks between treatments (may be extended for optimal healing)

Unlike laser removal that fragments ink into particles absorbed into your lymphatic system, TEPR™ expels ink through your skin's natural healing process—removing it from your body completely. Laser fragments tattoo ink into nanoparticles that are absorbed through the lymphatic system. According to Kumar et al., Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery (2015).

The Natural Process:
Precision micro-dermabrasion removes the epidermis containing ink
Natural TEPR® solution is applied to exposed dermis
Your body's natural healing creates a scab that lifts ink out
Ink expels through your skin, not into your lymphatic system
Fresh, healthy skin regenerates beneath
