Laser Tattoo Removal in Brickell — Formerly Miami Ink Off

Laser tattoo removal at Miami Skin Spa is the same program patients have known as Miami Ink Off, now consolidated under the Miami Skin Spa roof in Brickell. Same room, same equipment, same laser team — and the same pricing structure that built Miami Ink Off's reputation. Billing still appears as Miami Ink Off so existing patients can reconcile their statements, but everything else — booking, consults, treatment — happens at Miami Skin Spa.

We treat tattoos of every size, color, location, and age. Whether you want a small wrist piece gone before your wedding, a sleeve lightened for a cover-up, or permanent makeup eyebrows removed because they migrated or no longer match your face, the program is built around a single principle: removal is gradual, and the right plan is the plan that matches your tattoo and your skin.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Actually Works

Tattoo ink sits in the deeper layers of the dermis — too deep for your body to clear on its own. The laser delivers ultra-short pulses of light that are absorbed by the ink and converted into a photoacoustic shockwave that shatters the pigment into microscopic particles. Your immune system then carries those particles away over the weeks following treatment, which is why the tattoo continues to fade between visits.

We use a combination of Q-switched and picosecond lasers — including the Cutera Enlighten 3 — depending on what your tattoo needs. Picosecond pulses are extremely short, which means more of the laser's energy goes into shattering ink and less into heat. That matters because heat is what causes burning and scarring on older nanosecond-only devices. The Enlighten 3 platform also gives us multiple wavelengths (532 nm, 1064 nm, and 670 nm), so we can target the full color spectrum of tattoo inks — including the bright greens, teals, and yellows that older lasers cannot touch.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

Every removal plan starts with a free, no-commitment consultation. The visit takes 20–30 minutes and covers:

• A visual assessment of the tattoo — colors, depth, age, location, prior removal attempts
• A photograph for our records (with your consent)
• A written treatment plan with estimated session count
• Pricing — per session, 4-session package, and complete-removal package
• A medical history review to confirm you are a candidate
• Aftercare expectations and what your skin will look like at each phase

You leave with a printed plan and a quote. No treatment happens at the consult. If the plan works for you, we book your first session — usually within 1–2 weeks.

What Determines How Many Sessions You Need

The number of sessions varies more than most patients expect. The biggest factors:

Typical range: 6–12 sessions for most tattoos, spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Small, older, black-ink tattoos sometimes clear in 4–5 sessions; large multi-color pieces can take 12 or more.

Ink Colors — What Clears Easily, What Doesn't

• Easiest to remove: Black, dark navy, dark brown
• Moderate difficulty: Red, orange, dark green
• Most difficult: Bright green, teal, yellow, white, light blue

Yellow and white pigments do not absorb the laser wavelengths as efficiently. They can be significantly lightened but may not fully disappear. We will tell you up front during the consult if any colors in your tattoo are likely to be stubborn.

Pricing — Per Session, 4-Session, and Complete Removal

Pricing is by tattoo size, with three tiers: per single session, 4-session package, and a complete-removal bundle. Anesthesia for sensitive areas is a small add-on per visit. The full table is on the pricing page. The summary:

• Small to large tattoos (anything from a credit-card sized piece to a half-sleeve): packages start at $750 for 4 sessions on the smallest tattoos.
• Complete-removal bundles save 10% off pay-per-session pricing.
• 24-month financing is available through Cherry and Affirm — most patients qualify for low monthly payments.
• Permanent makeup removal (eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner) is priced separately and usually requires fewer sessions than body tattoos.

Pricing is case-by-case — the table is a baseline, not a quote. Your consult gives you the final number.

Aftercare — What to Do Between Sessions

Aftercare is straightforward but matters. The treated area is essentially a superficial burn for the first 24–72 hours, and how you care for it directly affects the final result.

• Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours
• Apply the ointment we provide (usually a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor)
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks; use SPF 30+ if any sun is unavoidable
• Do not pick at scabs or blisters — they heal naturally
• Avoid hot tubs, pools, saunas, and prolonged baths until the skin is fully healed
• No tanning or self-tanner on the treated area during the entire course of treatment

If you notice severe blistering, signs of infection (warmth, pus, fever), or unusual pain, contact us immediately.

Who Is and Isn't a Candidate

We treat adults in good general health with realistic expectations about gradual fading. We cannot treat patients who:

• Are pregnant or nursing
• Have active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
• Are taking certain photosensitizing medications
• Have had recent sunburn or tanning at the treatment site

Patients with a history of keloid scarring are evaluated case-by-case. If you have a skin condition at or near the tattoo, we may ask for clearance from a dermatologist before starting.

Cover-Ups and Tattoo Lightening

You do not need to commit to full removal. Many clients lighten a tattoo over 3–5 sessions specifically to make room for a cover-up by their tattoo artist. Tell us your goal at the consult and we will plan a shorter course targeted at lightening rather than clearing. Once the area is fully healed (at least 6–8 weeks after the last session), it is ready for a new tattoo.

Permanent Makeup, Microblading, and Cosmetic Tattoos

We remove eyebrow tattoos, microblading, permanent eyeliner, lip liner, and other small cosmetic tattoos. The Enlighten 3's precision lets us partially or fully clear these without damaging the surrounding skin. Because permanent makeup is usually a small area with a single ink, complete removal can sometimes be done in 1–3 sessions of 15–20 minutes each.

Pairs Well With

Once a tattoo is fully cleared, the skin underneath sometimes shows lingering pigment unevenness or texture changes. Common pairings to refine the area after removal:

• Pico Genesis: picosecond-based pigmentation correction to even out tone post-removal.
• Morpheus8: for texture and scarring that may have existed under or around the old tattoo.
• Chemical Peels: for surface tone refinement once active removal is complete.
