What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
The choice to remove a tattoo is deeply personal. There may be many reasons why you've made this decision, whether your tattoo represents a difficult memory, doesn't look as clean as you'd like, or simply doesn't represent who you are anymore. Whatever your reason, advances in tattoo removal technology have helped make it possible to lighten or even remove the undesired tattoo in its entirety. At Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness in Burnsville, MN, our dedicated team performs advanced laser tattoo removal treatments using the innovative Harmony® XL PRO system from Alma. Our sophisticated approach is safe for a variety of skin types and yields better results than traditional tattoo removal treatments, effectively breaking down the appearance of body ink with fewer sessions. If you're ready to move with a clean slate, contact our skin care providers and schedule your consultation to discuss laser tattoo removal.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Before building your custom tattoo removal plan, our team will first look at the tattoo and surrounding skin to determine if laser tattoo removal is ideal for you. During this time, we'll talk about how many sessions you may need and what you can expect in terms of results. The actual treatment begins with a member of our team washing the tattoo and applying a numbing cream to make your skin less sensitive to the intense light pulses emitted by the Harmony XL PRO. Once you're ready, we'll carefully pass the handpiece over your skin as it goes to work targeting the pigments in the ink. The length of your treatment will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the tattoo and where it is located.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal?
Your parents might have warned you that a tattoo will stay with you for life, but with laser tattoo removal at Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness, that doesn't have to be the case. Some of the benefits of laser tattoo removal at our Burnsville, MN practice are:
- Treatments are customizable and safe for most skin types
- Can dramatically reduce the appearance of worn, botched, or unwanted ink
- Protects surrounding skin tissue from damage or scarring
- Can be performed in simple treatments spaced apart over weeks
Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness Reviews
I have had 2 separate services at this clinic. My first was 4 years ago with Dr. B, I had Lipo360, BBL and Jplasma. I still LOVE my results from that surgery. Dr. B gave me the curves that genetics don’t and the gym couldn’t.Presently I received lip fillers with Anai and she was WONDERFUL to work with. Very informative, super sweet and made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole experience. I am one week out from my lip appointment and they are settling so nice. I’ll definitely keep them in my contacts for future aesthetic work
I had Lipo 360 with Dr. Balgobin and could not be happier with my results. I previously had a tummy tuck with a different doctor and was very unhappy with the bulging in my upper abdomen afterward. Dr. B completely fixed that and then some, my stomach is now smooth, flat, and looks the way it should have from the beginning.I am only 3.5 weeks post-op and already extremely happy with my results. I can’t wait to see how everything looks once I’m fully healed.His entire staff has been amazing throughout the process. Katy made scheduling so easy from the very beginning, Dani was incredible with answering all of my pre-op questions and making me feel prepared, and Anai has taken amazing care of me throughout post-op. Every office visit has been thorough, professional, and supportive.I highly recommend Dr. Balgobin. He is truly talented, knows exactly how to shape a woman’s body, and delivers beautiful results. I’m beyond grateful to him and his team!
I sought out Dr. Balgobin after experiencing complications from a previous procedure, and I’m so thankful I did. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to address all of my concerns in detail.What stood out most was his level of care—not just during the procedure, but afterward as well. He remained available to answer questions and ensured I felt supported throughout my recovery.Dominique, was equally compassionate and attentive. Their professionalism and genuine care made a stressful situation much easier.I would highly recommend Dr. Balgobin to anyone, especially those needing corrective work.Thank you Dr. BalgobinLT
Nurse Anai is amazing - go see her asap! I visited for my botox and some recommendations on filler. She listened, was very attentive and offered great expert advise on facial balancing. My results are beautiful! I loved that she was also bilingual ❤️ and look forward to seeing her again!
Dr Arijai is very professional and informative. What I like about him is that he is honest and is not trying to just make a sale and really informs you so you can make the best decision for you.

- Have unwanted tattoo pigment
- Maintain healthy surrounding skin
- Are not pregnant
- Have no active infection in the area
- Understand multiple sessions may be required
Certain ink colors and/or skin tones may require extended treatment. Our team will assess your tattoo and outline realistic expectations before proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on the number of sessions required and the size of the tattoo being treated. Each individual's situation is unique. Some people may need several sessions, while others only need a few.
Why do I need multiple laser tattoo removal sessions?
The number of sessions needed can depend on factors such as the size, color, placement, and age of your tattoo. At Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness in Burnsville, MN, our team will review your tattoo and create a personalized treatment plan that outlines how many sessions will be necessary to achieve your desired results.
When will I notice the results of laser tattoo removal?
Results from laser tattoo removal vary from person to person. After each session, you should see your tattoo start to fade. Because different inks respond differently to treatment, the number of sessions needed and the speed of results may vary. For optimal results, most patients will need several sessions spaced 2 – 4 weeks apart.
