How Total Estimated Cost Is Calculated

The Total Estimated Cost represents the full financial investment required to remove your tattoo completely. We use a standard industry estimation method that accounts for the specific difficulty of your case.

Total Cost = (Base Rate × Size × Complexity × Location × Tech) × Sessions + Aftercare

Where:

  • Base Rate: Regional cost per square inch (e.g., $75-$140).
  • Complexity: Multiplier for ink colors and difficulty.
  • Tech: Adjustment for specific laser types used.

The calculation starts by establishing a base price for your region. It then increases this rate based on how hard the ink is to remove, such as difficult colors or body locations with poor circulation. Finally, we multiply this per-session cost by the number of estimated visits needed to fade the ink.

This method ensures you see the cumulative price rather than just a single visit fee, providing a realistic view of the total expense.

What Your Total Estimated Cost Means

This figure represents the total amount of money you should expect to spend from the first session until the ink is gone. It serves as a planning tool to help you compare providers and prepare for the financial commitment involved.

Budget Planning

If your estimate is $1,200, plan to save roughly $100 per month for a year to afford the treatment comfortably without financial stress.

Comparing Packages

Use your total to judge if a provider’s "package deal" is a good value. For example, if your total is $2,000 and a clinic offers a 10-session pack for $1,800, you are saving money upfront.

Disclaimer: This estimate is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical or financial advice. Actual costs vary significantly based on individual skin physiology, ink depth, and provider pricing structures. Always consult with a board-certified dermatologist for a specific quote.
