Do you get a quote at your first tattoo removal consultation?
Do you get a quote at your first tattoo removal consultation at Ray studios? How the Full Remove plan and the RTP® projection make the cost clear from the very first appointment.
Before starting laser tattoo removal, one question comes up almost every time: do you know the price from the first consultation? The answer is yes. At Ray studios, pricing transparency is part of how we work. The cost is set by the Full Remove plan, which covers unlimited sessions at a single fixed price. A reliable quote still needs an in-person assessment: your skin therapist looks at the tattoo and the skin before confirming anything. This first appointment is what we call the initial consultation.
Why a consultation comes before the quote
Tattoo removal cannot be assessed seriously from a distance. During the initial consultation, your skin therapist examines the tattoo and the skin to measure the area to be treated, judge the quality of the pigment and anticipate how the skin is likely to react. That is what allows a suitable protocol to be built and a quote that holds up. An estimate produced without an assessment would be approximate and sometimes misleading. At Ray studios, this appointment is where you get a considered evaluation from a trained skin therapist, with no obligation to book treatment afterwards.
The price of tattoo removal: one fixed price, unlimited sessions
Our pricing model is deliberately simple. The Full Remove plan covers unlimited sessions for a single fixed price, so the cost of your programme is known before you start and does not change session by session. That removes the uncertainty that usually comes with tattoo removal, where the number of sessions is the hardest part to predict. You can also look at our pricing beforehand to situate your budget before you even come in.
How many sessions? The role of the RTP® projection
Even with a fixed price, most people want an idea of how long the process will take. That is the role of the RTP® (Ray Tattoo Profile), a personalised statistical projection of the number of sessions, established during the consultation from the assessment of your tattoo. It takes account of the estimated depth of the pigments, the ink density, the colours, the location and the skin type. The RTP® is not a promise of a result. It is a realistic basis for structuring the programme and planning your time. Individual results vary.
What does the quote include?
The document you receive at the end of the appointment is designed to be read without effort. It sets out the measured area, the fixed price of your Full Remove plan, and the projected number of sessions based on the RTP®. The aim is to give you a clear view of the treatment ahead, with no grey areas and no small print.
Can the price change during the treatment?
The price of the Full Remove plan does not move, because it is fixed at the outset and covers unlimited sessions. What can vary slightly is the total number of sessions you need. The biological response is specific to each person, the speed at which pigments are cleared differs, and the tattoo changes from one session to the next. Transparency means explaining that variability from the start, rather than letting you discover it along the way.
A clearer model than vague pricing
Some centres advertise prices "from" a certain figure, loose packages or estimates given without any assessment. Those formulations keep the uncertainty alive. A single fixed price covering unlimited sessions does the opposite: you know exactly what you are paying and what it covers. It is a question of trust as much as clarity.
A structured programme from start to finish
At Ray studios, the quote is part of a programme run by trained skin therapists, from the initial consultation through to follow-up between sessions. The whole thing is structured by our RsAP® treatment protocol (Ray studios Advanced Performance), which combines assessment, RTP® projection and a personalised protocol delivered with correct laser settings in a controlled environment. Treatment is carried out with the PicoWay® by Candela, a latest-generation picosecond laser that fragments pigments with precision while protecting the skin. Our before and after results give a concrete idea of what this approach can achieve. Individual results vary.

FAQ
Does the price depend on the tattoo colours?
No. The price per session is generally based only on the tattoo’s measured surface area in cm². The colours themselves do not affect the unit price. However, colours can influence the number of sessions required, as some pigments are more difficult and slower to treat than others. This distinction is usually explained during the consultation by experienced skin therapists.
Can you know the price from the first appointment?
Yes. Once the tattoo surface has been measured and the treatment projection established, the customer receives a clear overview of the price per session as well as an estimated number of sessions. This transparency helps customers immediately understand the structure of the treatment and anticipate how the process will progress, with guidance from experienced skin therapists.
Is the number of sessions guaranteed?
No. The treatment projection is based on a clinical assessment and remains a statistical estimate. Every body reacts differently to tattoo removal, and the speed at which pigments are eliminated can vary from one person to another. However, this projection still provides a realistic overview of the expected treatment journey, based on the evaluation performed by experienced skin therapists.
Can you get a quote without a consultation?
No. A reliable quote requires a proper consultation. Without an accurate measurement of the tattoo and a detailed assessment of its characteristics, any estimate would remain approximate. The consultation provides a clear and personalised basis for the treatment plan, ensuring that the evaluation is adapted to each individual situation by experienced skin therapists.
