Do you have questions? We have the answers!

It can indeed take a little longer. Sessions often need to be spaced further apart to give the skin time to heal fully. This doesn't mean the treatment is less effective, simply that it progresses more gradually. This caution is essential to preserve the skin's even tone and natural appearance.

‍

Not directly. The wavelength is chosen according to the pigment being targeted, not the sensitivity of the skin.
Discomfort depends more on the area being treated, the intensity used and your own tolerance threshold.
Some areas, such as the ribs or wrists, are naturally more sensitive, regardless of the wavelength.
At Ray studios, we adjust the laser settings to maintain a good balance between effectiveness and comfort.
We also offer soothing solutions or numbing creams if needed.

‍

In the vast majority of cases, no. Two identical tattoos can age very differently even when done by the same tattoo artist, with the same inks and the same technique. Ageing depends mainly on biological factors specific to each person, such as skin structure, immune response or environmental exposure. A tattoo can therefore change over time without this calling into question the quality of the original work.

Very often, yes. Tattoo removal can act as a catalyst for transformation. As the tattoo fades, many customers experience gradual relief, a symbolic lightening and a reconnection with their body image. This visual process of fading sometimes accompanies important life decisions (grief, breakup, a change in direction). At Ray studios, we regularly witness this return to oneself through the skin, experienced very positively. Individual results vary.

‍

Yes, indirectly. Choosing the appropriate wavelength allows more effective fragmentation of the pigments, which can help reduce the total number of sessions required. On the other hand, an unsuitable wavelength may slow down the process and lead to the need for additional treatments. Proper parameter selection by experienced skin therapists is therefore essential for achieving efficient and safe results.

Yes, it is completely normal for yellow pigment to visually change throughout the treatment process. It may lose intensity, appear duller, or slightly shift in tone before fading further. These changes are linked to the progressive fragmentation of pigment particles caused by the laser. The way light reflects on the skin also changes over time, which can alter the perception of the colour. These transformations are not a sign of failure, but rather a normal stage of the tattoo removal process. Regular follow-up allows skin therapists to adjust the treatment settings according to the evolution of the pigment.

It heals well, but it also changes quickly.
Growth, hormones or changes in weight can alter the tattoo.
Some areas, such as the stomach, hips or breasts, should therefore be avoided too early on.
A good tattoo artist will be able to guide you towards more stable areas.
At Ray studios, we tailor our advice to your age and your body.

‍

These are delicate areas, but yes, it is entirely possible to remove tattoos from the fingers. Due to the thinness of the skin, the density of the ink and frequent exposure to water and sunlight, the process can take a little longer than on other parts of the body. Several sessions are often needed to achieve good results, but progress becomes visible gradually. Individual results vary. Skin therapists adjust the laser power and protocol at each session to maximise effectiveness while protecting the skin. Proper hydration and suitable aftercare between sessions are also essential for good healing.

‍

Very rarely. Fingers are particularly exposed to friction, water, frequent washing and temperature changes, which makes ink retention less predictable. Even a technically well-done tattoo can fade quickly, or even distort within a few months. Individual results vary. Many customers end up accumulating touch-ups, or eventually choose to have the design completely removed. At Ray studios, we are used to treating this type of tattoo, often small but delicate to remove due to the thinness of the area.

‍

Yes, particularly during pregnancy or menopause. Hormonal fluctuations can change the texture and elasticity of the skin, which visually affects fine lines, colours and the overall condition of the tattoo. Regular monitoring and appropriate hydration help limit these effects.

‍

No, absolutely not. Every session carried out, even elsewhere, has already helped break down some of the ink present in your dermis.
The tattoo removal process is cumulative: the body continues to eliminate pigment residue even between sessions.
At Ray studios, we simply pick up the protocol where it left off, without starting over.
You keep all the benefits already achieved.

‍

No, psychological support is not a requirement to start a tattoo removal process.
However, if your tattoo is linked to trauma, a toxic relationship or a difficult period, consulting a professional can offer you valuable emotional support during treatment.
This support allows you to put your feelings into words and to go through the stages of tattoo removal with more peace of mind.
At Ray studios, we listen to your experience and encourage you to take care of your overall wellbeing.
Tattoo removal is not only skin deep.

‍

Not necessarily, but some precautions should be taken. It is essential that the treated area stays clean, dry and well ventilated. Avoid tight or synthetic clothing that may rub, compress or trap heat. Choose loose, soft and breathable clothing, especially if you resume exercise in the days following the session. If friction cannot be avoided, a light sterile dressing can be used temporarily, without preventing the skin from breathing.

‍

This is not a requirement. If you are no longer in contact with your original tattoo artist or if you prefer a different style, a new professional can perfectly well carry out the touch-up. However, they will need to understand the nature of the ink used, the technique applied, and any reactions your skin may have had. This is why a skin assessment beforehand at Ray studios can help inform your future tattoo artist, in addition to laser lightening if necessary.

‍

No, having a defined project from the start is not required.
Starting the lightening process without a precise idea offers more freedom afterwards.
It also allows you to build a new tattoo on a more neutral base.
But if you already have a clear idea, we adapt the protocol accordingly.
Ray studios is happy to work with your future tattoo artist to plan the design in advance.

‍

No, never. Your body belongs entirely to you, as do your decisions.
No one needs to validate or understand your personal or aesthetic reasons.
Whether it is a personal, professional or evolving choice, it is always legitimate.
At Ray studios, we welcome every step with respect and confidentiality.
No explanation is needed to take care of yourself.

‍

No, never. Your body is your space, and your choice is enough.
There is no need to defend yourself, or to justify your desire for change.
At Ray studios, we welcome every decision without condition or judgement.
You have the right to no longer feel aligned with a past tattoo.
And we are here to support you, respecting this new chapter.

‍

Here are the recommendations to follow for an optimal tattoo removal session:

• no sun exposure without high-protection SPF 50 cream in the 15 days before the session
• no laser session for another reason should have been carried out on the area to be treated (e.g. permanent hair removal)
• limit alcohol and tobacco consumption
• drink plenty of water (> 1.5L/day)
• shave or remove hair from the area to be treated on the day of the session
• do not apply any cosmetic product 24 hours before the session to the tattoo, nor makeup, perfume, cream, or ointment

There you go, you're ray-dy for your session ⚡

No, complete removal is not usually necessary before a cover-up. The aim is simply to fade the original design enough that it does not show through the new one. A few fading sessions, often two to five, are enough in most cases, where complete removal would take considerably more. How far you need to go depends mainly on the cover-up itself: a dark, dense, large design conceals more and needs fewer sessions than a light or detailed one. This is why it is worth defining the project with your tattooist before starting laser treatment.

Not at all. It's a personal decision that only concerns you.
Some people talk about it openly, others prefer to stay discreet, and both approaches are completely valid.
If you feel the need to explain, do so with people you trust.
But you have no obligation: tattoo removal is a personal choice, which deserves respect for your own pace and privacy.
At Ray studios, we support you in this process, without judgement or pressure.

‍

There is no mandatory waiting period between a breakup and starting tattoo removal. Some customers want to act immediately to move on, while others prefer to wait several weeks or months to be sure of their decision. What matters is not to act hastily, but with a clear and considered intention. At Ray studios, we always take the time to listen to your motivations and make sure they reflect a thoughtful personal decision, not an impulsive one.

‍

Yes. The standard interval of 6 to 8 weeks remains valid regardless of where the treatment takes place.
This time allows the skin to heal and the body to eliminate the particles broken down by the laser.
Changing centres does not shorten this period, it is essential for your safety and the effectiveness of the protocol.
At Ray studios, we always respect this recovery window.

‍

Yes, generally. Each colour reacts differently and requires a specific wavelength. This means more sessions and a more finely tuned protocol. But with a methodical approach and suitable tools, even removal is entirely achievable. Individual results vary. At Ray studios, we plan each treatment taking into account the full palette of the tattoo.

No. So-called natural methods such as lemon, salt, bicarbonate of soda or honey are both ineffective and dangerous. They cannot reach the deeper layers of skin where tattoo ink sits. Using them can cause burns, allergic reactions, infections and irreversible scarring. They may look harmless, but they have no clinical validation and are strongly discouraged by removal professionals.

Yes, very clearly. More and more customers arrive at their consultation calm, determined, and proud of their decision. Tattoo removal is no longer hidden or experienced as a source of shame, but as an act of autonomy, a considered choice and often a liberating one. It has become common to document this process on social media or to talk about it openly with loved ones. At Ray studios, we see this new openness every day: it helps normalise tattoo removal as a natural part of personal identity.

‍

Picosecond lasers significantly improve the effectiveness of tattoo removal by breaking pigments into finer particles and reducing side effects. They can often reduce the total number of sessions required. However, they do not remove a tattoo in a single session. The limiting factor remains the biological time needed for the body to eliminate the pigments.

‍

Not necessarily. Techniques and pigments have evolved, but some current trends, such as ultra-fine lines or micro-tattoos, are more sensitive to ageing. Age is therefore not the only factor: style and placement are just as important.

Absolutely. At Ray studios, we tailor each treatment according to our customers’ skin type. For sensitive skin, this often means gentler laser settings, longer intervals between sessions, and enhanced post-treatment follow-up. The goal is to ensure results that are just as effective, without unnecessarily stressing the skin. Thanks to this personalisation, even those with reactive or thin skin can benefit from safe and comfortable tattoo removal.

‍

Yes, it is an essential part of how we support you. A tattoo often carries a story, a memory or an emotional weight.
Our skin therapists are trained to listen, to respect your personal journey, and to understand your deeper motivations.
The protocol is always designed to respect your pace, both physical and emotional.
You will never be reduced to just a tattoo to be removed.
At Ray studios, every tattoo removal is also a human process.

‍

No, not open-minded and understanding professionals.
A good tattoo artist understands that tastes change and that skin evolves.
Some even take part in the transformation through cover-ups or post-laser creations.
Removal is not a rejection of an artist, but an act of evolution.
Ray studios works with many tattoo artists who share this philosophy.

‍

Yes, and this is a responsible approach on their part. Out of respect for the original artist and to preserve the integrity of their work. This encourages the creation of a unique version, tailored to you, rather than an impersonal one. A committed tattoo artist will always prefer to collaborate on an original creation. At Ray studios, we value this approach in all cover-up projects.

‍

No. No cream can reach the dermis layer, where the tattoo pigments are located. These products are often ineffective, poorly regulated, and potentially dangerous. They can cause irritation, chemical burns, or even serious allergic reactions. Tattoo removal is a specialised treatment that cannot be replaced by a cosmetic solution sold online.

‍

No, their effectiveness is very limited, if not non-existent in most cases. These devices do not have the power needed to reach pigments deep in the dermis, where the ink is actually lodged. They mainly act on the surface, sometimes causing slight temporary discolouration... but leaving the tattoo almost intact. These are not medical lasers, but cosmetic gadgets sold without serious oversight.

‍

No, but they age differently. On dark skin, contrast plays a fundamental role: a tattoo designed from the outset with well-defined lines and a composition suited to the skin phototype ages just as well as on light skin. However, very light inks or overly fine details may fade more quickly or become less visible over time. At Ray studios, we assess how pigment evolves on each skin type and offer personalised solutions if a touch-up or tattoo removal becomes necessary. Individual results vary.

‍

They can be removed, but this often requires more patience. The skin in this area is thinner, exposed to frequent friction, and healing can be more delicate. It is not uncommon to observe slight irregularities in pigment removal in these areas. At Ray studios, we use gentle, progressive settings to preserve skin quality while ensuring maximum effectiveness.

‍

On average, yes. Areas such as the shoulders, back, or chest generally benefit from better blood circulation, which helps the body progressively eliminate fragmented pigments more efficiently. However, other factors remain essential in determining how quickly a tattoo responds to treatment, including ink density, pigment depth, and the colours used. Treatment outcomes are always influenced by a combination of factors assessed by experienced skin therapists.

Unfortunately not. These devices are either ineffective or dangerous. So-called “laser” pens do not penetrate the dermis sufficiently and can burn the surface of the skin. As for abrasive creams or solutions, they only irritate the epidermis without ever reaching the ink at depth. Beyond being useless, these products often carry allergy or toxicity risks.

‍

It all depends on the style, placement and aftercare. Very fine linework (such as minimalism or micro-realism) is more fragile. It fades faster if the skin is exposed or under stress. More saturated styles (blackwork, neo-traditional) age better, but are more demanding to touch up. At Ray studios, we help you choose a style suited to your long-term plans.

‍

They can. Certain styles that are highly visible on social media (ultra-minimalist designs, unusual placements such as fingers or ribs, complex 3D effects) often age poorly or no longer suit the person a few years later. We often see a wave of tattoo removal enquiries around 3 to 5 years after a trend boom.

‍

Not necessarily. There are alternatives such as partial lightening for a cover-up or simple fading if the design bothers you without being completely rejected.
The choice depends on your expectations and your history.
At Ray studios, every project is personalised: we help you identify the solution best suited to your situation.
You are free to adjust your approach, without pressure.

‍

Regulations around the use of lasers capable of acting deep within the dermis vary depending on where you are. Laser tattoo removal involves an assessment, personalised settings and the management of any potential complications. It is therefore recommended that it be carried out by a skin therapist to ensure customer safety.

No, at Ray studios you pay a single fixed price for the Full Remove plan, which covers your treatment from start to finish. There is no advance payment and no separate charge per session. This approach gives you flexibility to plan your sessions around your personal circumstances, while respecting the recommended minimum interval of eight weeks between two sessions. You can also pause treatment temporarily due to a contraindication or personal circumstances, without losing the benefit of previous sessions.

Not necessarily. While tattoo removal relates to the skin, not all dermatologists are qualified to carry it out. This treatment requires specific training in laser treatments, which not all dermatologists undergo. Many general or aesthetic skin therapists trained in lasers can therefore carry out this type of treatment perfectly well. What matters is experience and specialisation in tattoo removal.

No, it is absolutely not an obligation. Tattoo removal is a personal and often intimate decision, and it can remain private if you prefer. Some people choose to share it with those close to them for support, while others prefer to keep it to themselves. What matters most is that you act in alignment with your own comfort, without external pressure.

‍

‍

No, it's never an obligation. Some people appreciate the aged or worn look of an old tattoo. Others want to refresh the lines or boost the colours over time. Both approaches are perfectly valid and depend on personal experience. Ray studios supports these choices with respect and personalised advice.

‍

Yes, absolutely. Even very fine hair can interfere with the picosecond laser beam.
This can reduce treatment precision and affect the effectiveness of the session.
Careful shaving allows the laser to target the ink pigments without obstruction.
At Ray studios, we emphasise this simple but essential step to help achieve the best possible result.

‍

Yes. Current generations get tattoos earlier, more often and more spontaneously, which also makes tattoo removal more frequent. But contrary to common belief, this does not reflect instability: it is rather a reflection of cultural flexibility, where body image can evolve freely. Younger generations see tattoo removal as a normal and reversible option, in the same way as the tattoo itself. At Ray studios, we see this more fluid and uninhibited approach, which values the right to change. Individual results vary.

‍

PicoWay® and Picosure are two major laser brands and we carried out very thorough comparisons. We chose the PicoWay® laser from Candela, because it offers greater effectiveness on a wider range of tattoos, and because it is faster.

Yes, and quite significantly. Tattoo removal has gone from being a discreet act to an open and visible practice, embraced by celebrities, influencers and anonymous customers alike. It is no longer seen as unusual, but rather as a tool for personal adaptation, in the same way tattooing itself once was. This social shift reflects a greater tolerance for non-linear paths, changeable choices and bodies in transformation. At Ray studios, we fully embrace this movement towards informed bodily freedom.

‍

To help your tissue regenerate properly between laser sessions, here are a few tips:

• Apply a very moisturising cream such as petroleum jelly in generous amounts during the first few days after your session
• Avoid sun exposure for the 2 weeks following the session • Cigarettes and alcohol slow down healing and accelerate skin ageing.

A professional studio like Ray studios uses a certified laser device (CE standards) and follows a strict hygiene protocol. The skin therapist is trained in the clinical use of laser devices and can adjust the settings to your skin. If you have any doubt, never hesitate to ask questions: about the equipment, qualifications, insurance... A studio has nothing to hide.

‍

Signs of ready skin include the complete absence of scabbing, redness or flaking. The area should be supple, not painful to the touch and should have regained its natural appearance. If you have any doubt, a consultation with a skin therapist can accurately check the skin's condition. At Ray studios, we carry out a systematic skin assessment before every first session.

‍

The feasibility of complete tattoo removal depends on several specific criteria. During your initial consultation at Ray studios, we carry out a thorough analysis of your tattoo: colours used, ink density, depth in the dermis, age and how your skin reacts. This allows us to give you a personalised and realistic estimate of the number of sessions needed and the level of removal possible. Some tattoos disappear entirely, others leave slight traces. Individual results vary. In all cases, our aim is to offer you complete transparency about the expected results.

If your tattoo is very saturated black, with thick solid areas or heavy lines, this is often a sign that lightening is needed. Light colours or fine designs cannot effectively cover this type of base. A visual assessment is needed to evaluate the ink density and anticipate the tattoo artist's constraints. At Ray studios, we support you through this assessment.

‍

When a tattoo is intended to be covered by a new design, it is often advisable to partially lighten it to make the tattoo artist's work easier and improve the aesthetic result. A skin therapist at Ray studios will accurately assess the pigment density and the condition of your skin. If lightening is recommended, a reduced number of targeted sessions will be proposed before you can schedule your cover-up with a tattoo professional.

‍

A serious centre never hides the equipment it uses. It is recommended that you ask for the name of the laser. Picosecond lasers, such as the PicoWay®, used at Ray studios, are today the reference standard in tattoo removal. They allow pigments to be broken down more finely, with greater respect for the skin. A centre that does not disclose its equipment, or that still uses nanosecond lasers, does not offer the same quality of care or the same safety. Individual results vary.

‍

By choosing a well-equipped, specialised centre using advanced laser technology and a structured approach. Picosecond lasers are known for their effectiveness and better skin tolerance. Each treatment should begin with a personalised assessment, followed by a carefully adapted protocol and consistent follow-up between sessions. Respecting proper intervals, aftercare instructions, and individual skin characteristics is essential to avoid complications. The best way to avoid poor results is to ensure the treatment is done correctly from the very first session, under the supervision of experienced skin therapists.

‍

Check references, compliance with hygiene standards, customer reviews and photos of healed work. Be wary of overly attractive prices, uncertified at-home services, or artists who agree to tattoo sensitive areas without prior discussion. At Ray studios, we can also help you address the consequences of a hasty choice.

‍

Preventing side effects relies above all on strictly following post-treatment instructions. This includes: applying a healing cream, regularly moisturising the area, completely avoiding the sun(or applying SPF 50+ once the skin has healed), and reducing friction or intense activity during the first few days. At Ray studios, each customer leaves with a personalised recommendations sheet, and our team remains available if you have any questions or notice an unusual reaction. This care helps support a quick, complication-free recovery. Individual results vary.

‍

The best way to limit judgment is to be clear and confident in your decision. Simple communication, without over-explaining, often helps defuse reactions. It’s also okay to set boundaries if certain questions become intrusive. Other people’s reactions often reflect their own perceptions. Your choice is personal, and a confident attitude makes interactions easier.

‍

To avoid any scarring after laser tattoo removal:

• Moisturise the area daily with a healing cream
• Protect it from the sun for 15 days before and after each session (SPF 50+ cream or clothing)
• Avoid baths, saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise for 72 hours
• Do not scratch the treated area, even if it itches

At Ray studios, a personalised aftercare protocol is provided to you and our skin therapists ensure rigorous post-session follow-up.

To minimise the risks, it is essential to choose a specialised clinic, quality equipment and a skin therapist. At Ray studios, we only use PicoWay® picosecond lasers, the most advanced and precise technology on the market. Each treatment is personalised according to your skin and your tattoo, which helps optimise removal while protecting the skin. Individual results vary. We continuously train our teams to ensure the safety and effectiveness of every session.

It is essential to entrust your treatment to a specialised centre equipped with a state-of-the-art laser, like Ray studios. This ensures a precise assessment, settings tailored to your skin, and rigorous professional support. Following post-treatment care is equally important: applying healing cream, sun protection, and strict hygiene. Our skin therapists give you personalised recommendations after each session to ensure the best possible recovery and preserve the quality, uniformity and suppleness of your skin. Individual results vary.

To book an appointment at the Ray studios Brussels centre, you have two simple options:

Online

• Go to the “Book an appointment” section on the website.
• Select the Brussels centre, choose the desired treatment, then pick the date and time that suit you best.
• Confirm your booking in just a few clicks.

By phone

• Contact the centre directly at +32 2 588 28 08 during opening hours.

To get a quote, you need to book an initial, no-obligation consultation with a skin therapist at Ray studios. During this consultation, the skin therapist examines your tattoo, measures its surface area in square centimetres, assesses the ink and your skin type, then draws up an RTP® projection of the number of sessions likely to be required. You leave with a quote that sets out the Full Remove plan price, covering unlimited sessions at a single fixed price, along with the estimated number of sessions. The process is straightforward and involves a few simple steps: book a slot online, attend your consultation, then receive your quote once the assessment is complete. This estimate cannot be reliably given remotely, as it relies on an in-person assessment.

The most effective thing is to follow the aftercare after each session and to protect the area from the sun. Keep the skin clean and dry, apply the recommended product, never pick a scab or burst a blister, and avoid swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms until the skin has closed. Sun protection, before as well as after each session, is essential to prevent pigmentation problems. Leaving a sufficient interval between sessions gives the skin time to recover. Choosing professionally supervised treatment, carried out by a skin therapist who adapts the settings to your skin type, reduces the risk further. At Ray studios, post-laser follow-up is part of the treatment pathway, precisely to support good healing.

A reputable centre communicates clearly about the status of the skin therapist, the technology used, and the treatment protocol applied. It offers a structured preliminary consultation and proper medical follow-up. Transparency is a key indicator of professionalism and reliability.

Several factors can guide you. A specialised centre usually places tattoo removal at the core of its activity and communicates widely on the subject. It often presents numerous before and after cases, detailed educational content and a structured methodology. The skin therapists are able to explain precisely the issues relating to your tattoo and the strategy being considered. Finally, the experience accumulated over a large number of treatments is often the best indicator of expertise.

To assess the reliability of a clinic, it’s important to look at several factors as a whole. A reputable clinic always offers a detailed initial consultation, during which your tattoo and skin are carefully evaluated by qualified professionals or skin therapists. They also use modern technologies, such as picosecond lasers, and clearly explain how the treatment works. The practitioner’s approach is equally important: a competent professional takes the time to answer your questions, explain the limitations of the treatment, and provide a realistic estimate. Finally, consistent customer reviews and the quality of visible results are useful additional indicators.

Each treatment begins with an initial consultation with a skin therapist. This appointment helps determine your Ray Tattoo Profile, assess the specific needs of your tattoo, check for any contraindications and explain every step of the protocol. Before the session, you can apply a numbing cream to reduce sensations. During the session, the skin therapist precisely sets the laser according to the colour, depth and your skin type. After the treatment, they recommend aftercare to apply at home. All sessions are spaced at least eight weeks apart to ensure optimal elimination of pigments by the body. Individual results vary.

After an initial consultation to assess your profile and rule out any contraindications, you begin the programme: 5 to 12 sessions spaced 8 weeks apart are generally required. During each session, the skin therapist targets the ink pigments with the PicoWay® laser, which breaks up the particles so they can be naturally eliminated by the body. The procedure is quick (10 to 30 minutes), minimally invasive, and side effects (redness, tingling) are limited thanks to this advanced technology. Individual results vary.

A picosecond laser machine emits ultra-short pulses of energy that pass through the skin to break down ink particles in the dermis. These micro-fragments are then naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system. This precise, non-thermal process minimises skin damage and speeds up healing. The PicoWay® machines used at Ray studios have several wavelengths (1,064 nm, 785 nm, 730 nm and 532 nm), each suited to a specific ink colour. This makes them effective on almost all tattoos, while remaining safe for all skin types.

It is not the laser itself that removes the ink, but rather the body, more specifically the lymphatic system, a natural cleansing network that eliminates what the body no longer needs. These lymphatic vessels are very narrow. The ink particles that make up a tattoo are larger, which is why they remain in the body. To remove them, they must first be broken down—much like a pickaxe gradually breaking apart rock. This “pickaxe” is the laser. It fragments the ink particles into much smaller pieces, allowing the lymphatic system to eliminate them naturally.

‍

At Ray studios, the process begins with an initial consultation with a skin therapist. This step allows your personalised profile (Ray Tattoo Profile) to be established, gives you the chance to ask your questions and provides you with a personalised quote. If there is no contraindication, the first session can be carried out straight afterwards. It lasts between 10 and 30 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo. After each session, care is applied to the treated area, and follow-up is arranged to schedule the rest of the treatment, respecting an interval of 8 weeks. Individual results vary.

Laser removal of microblading relies on cutting-edge technology: the picosecond laser. This type of laser breaks down ink particles under the skin into micro-particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. The precision of the beam allows it to target only the tattoo pigments, without damaging the delicate skin of the eyebrows. This method is recognised by the French High Council for Public Health as the safest and most effective way to remove cosmetic tattoos on the face.

Ray studios uses the latest-generation PicoWay® laser technology, known for its precision and effectiveness.

The laser targets ink pigments beneath the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue, significantly reducing the risk of scarring. Tattoo removal is carried out over several spaced sessions, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the ink particles.

The protocol is fully personalised depending on the tattoo’s colour, depth, and location.

The Ray studios app profoundly transforms the way customers experience their tattoo removal. By allowing them to see their progress in concrete terms, it makes the process more transparent, more motivating and above all easier to understand. Each stage becomes visible, each change measurable. This visual tracking provides a sense of reassurance and engagement: the customer knows where they stand, why they are progressing, and how their body reacts between sessions. This is a unique approach that turns tattoo removal from a simple treatment into a genuine, guided transformation journey.

‍

Thinking about tattoo removal can guide you towards more strategic choices: avoiding areas that are very difficult to treat, favouring black or dark inks that respond better to laser, opting for airy, low-density designs without emotional weight. This does not limit creativity, quite the opposite: it encourages you to make a choice that is more personal, lasting and adaptable.

If a tattoo weighs on you, troubles you emotionally, or reminds you of a past situation you wish to move beyond, this may be the right moment.
Simply thinking about it often, covering it up or no longer recognising yourself with it can be a sign.
Making this decision does not mean denying the past, but making a conscious choice to refocus on your present.
At Ray studios, we welcome every project with kindness and without judgement.
Your decision is valid, whatever the reason behind it.

‍

If the idea of removing your tattoo brings you more relief than fear, if you feel the need to turn a page or let go of a weight from the past, then you're probably ready. Tattoo removal is a personal decision that must come from you, not from others. Listen to how you feel, without rushing. And remember: this decision can be one of the first steps towards a version of yourself that feels more aligned. At Ray studios, we are here to support you on this journey, at your own pace.

‍

You can never predict everything, but certain signals are telling.
An impulsive tattoo, linked to a trend or an emotionally charged period, deserves reflection.
If the idea does not hold up over time, it may not have been fully thought through.
Waiting a few weeks often helps you see things more clearly.
At Ray studios, we always recommend letting the idea settle.

‍

A tattoo is ready when the skin has returned to a normal look and texture. There should be no scabs, no peeling skin, no redness and no swelling. The area should no longer be tender or painful to the touch, and the surface should have regained its usual suppleness. These signs are useful, but the surface can look normal while the dermis has not finished repairing underneath. Only a professional assessment can confirm it with certainty. At the information appointment at Ray studios, the skin therapist assesses the actual state of the skin and tells you whether treatment can begin or whether it is better to wait a little longer.

‍

‍You can recognise this from certain signs such as a blowout effect (ink spreading under the skin), excessive pain after the session, thick scabbing or abnormal texture. If in doubt, consult an experienced tattoo artist or a skin therapist.

The absence of redness, scabbing and pain is a good indicator. That said, having the area assessed is the reliable way to confirm the skin has healed completely, since surface appearance does not always reflect what is happening underneath.

‍

It all depends on your project and the condition of the original tattoo. If you want a completely different style or colour palette, tattoo removal (full or partial) is often preferable so you can start with a clean base. If the initial tattoo is light or well placed, a simple cover-up may be enough. At Ray studios, we carry out a personalised assessment to guide you towards the best strategy based on your skin, your tattoo, and your wishes. Individual results vary.

Being well known is not enough: this audience expects centres that are professionally run, transparent, highly equipped and discreet. Influencers generally look for cutting-edge technology, such as the picosecond laser, supervision by skin therapists, documented follow-up, and sometimes the possibility of incorporating the process into a content strategy. Ray studios meets these requirements by offering safety, clarity about results, emotional support and personalised protocols, compatible with controlled media exposure.

There is no right or wrong way. What matters most is being at peace with your decision. You can simply explain that this tattoo no longer reflects who you are and that you feel the need to move forward.
This is a personal choice that doesn't necessarily require justification.
At Ray studios, we encourage everyone to embrace their journey with freedom and self-kindness.

The first step is to have an initial consultation, which is essential for assessing the tattoo, the skin and the customer's goals. This consultation is an opportunity to explain how the treatment works, estimate the number of sessions required, cover the precautions to take and answer any questions. At Ray studios, this step is considered fundamental to ensuring safe, gradual laser tattoo removal tailored to each situation.

You need to compare several elements: the type of laser used, the level of skin therapist supervision, the estimated number of sessions and the transparency of pricing. Two seemingly identical quotes can hide very different realities in terms of follow-up or technology. It is also useful to check customer reviews and the centre's experience. A quote should always be assessed as a whole.

To fix a blurred tattoo, you have two main options: go to a qualified tattoo artist or opt for laser tattoo removal. A tattoo artist can improve the result using techniques such as shading, adding white to redefine the outlines, or a cover-up. If the blurring is too extensive, picosecond laser is the recommended solution. It allows unwanted areas to be gradually removed with precision. At Ray studios, skin therapists use this technology to correct or remove tattoos with maximum safety.

Ask clearly who will actually perform the treatment, not just who supervises it. Proper supervision means the skin therapist is directly involved, from assessment through to the technical procedure. A reliable sign: a transparent quote includes the name and role of the treating skin therapist.

This is an essential question to ask before committing. The centre should be able to give you clear information about the technology used (laser name, brand, type of picosecond laser). Transparency is a sign of professionalism. If you have doubts or receive vague answers, be cautious. At Ray studios, we exclusively use the latest generation picosecond lasers, suited to all tattoo types and skin types. High-end technology makes a real difference to the quality of the outcome. Individual results vary.

The presence of grey, red or orange tones, or contours that are still visible, is often a sign that pigment is still present. Even when the eyebrows appear very faded, residue can remain deep within the skin. Visual analysis alone is not always enough to assess the actual saturation. A consultation allows your skin therapist to determine precisely how much pigment remains. This step is essential for choosing the best strategy.

Visible healing takes an average of 10 to 15 days.
The skin becomes smooth, supple and free of scabs on the surface.
However, beneath the surface, the process can take up to four weeks.
It is therefore important to continue aftercare even if everything appears “healed”.
A well-healed tattoo feels as good as it looks. Individual results vary.

At Ray studios, your treatment file is centralized and accessible to professionals across the network. It includes the initial assessment, the parameters used, and the progress of the tattoo removal. This organization ensures full continuity of care, even if you change locations. Professionals can immediately adjust the treatment without starting from scratch, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.

The main method is cooling the skin through cryotherapy, very cold air applied before, during and after the laser passes. This cold significantly reduces the sensation of pain and protects the skin from overheating. At Ray studios, this local anaesthesia through cryotherapy is part of the protocol. Depending on the case, an anaesthetic cream applied before the session can complement this cooling, and for extensive or highly sensitive tattoos, an injectable local anaesthetic may be considered. The picosecond laser used, which generates less heat than older lasers, also contributes to comfort. Finally, breathing calmly, communicating with your skin therapist and taking breaks help you get through the session more comfortably. Your skin therapist adapts everything to how you feel.

At Ray studios, the price is based solely on the size of the tattoo. Unlike many centres, the colour, ink density, or complexity of the design do not affect the cost of a session. This approach provides complete transparency and avoids pricing variations that can be difficult for customers to understand. The tattoo simply needs to be measured in square centimeters (cm²) to determine its pricing category. This method makes quotations much clearer and allows customers to understand the cost of their treatment from the very beginning.
