If you live in North York or Toronto, you have plenty of options. Knowing how to choose a tattoo removal clinic comes down to five questions.
1. What laser do they use?
Ask for the brand and type. Picosecond systems such as Cynosure PicoSure® are widely used for removal. Read PicoSure vs Q-switched for why it matters.
2. Do they show real results?
Look for unedited before-and-after photos from their own clients. We post ours on @tatfade.
3. Is the setting inspected?
Personal service settings in Ontario are regulated under Ontario Regulation 136/18 (Personal Service Settings). In York Region, you can learn about inspections through York Region’s BeSpaSafe program.
4. Can they plan a cover-up?
If you want new ink afterwards, a studio that both removes and tattoos can plan the two together, see fading for a cover-up.
5. Is the consultation free and honest?
You should leave with a realistic session range, not a guarantee. Our studio at 84 Lawrence Ave, Richmond Hill is about 15 minutes north of North York. book a free laser consultation.
