Ink Regrets Meet Their Match
Removing a tattoo should never mean risking your skin’s health or settling for subpar results.

That’s why we use the Fotona StarWalker — Mount Pleasant’s most advanced laser tattoo removal technology — to offer safe, effective tattoo fading tailored to your unique skin type and goals.
Unlike outdated lasers that can leave behind scars or shadows, Fotona StarWalker combines picosecond and nanosecond pulses to break down even stubborn tattoo pigments with precision. Our team, led by Dr. Laura Glaser, blends this cutting-edge science with compassionate care, ensuring your tattoo removal is as comfortable as possible and your skin is supported every step of the way.
At AURĀE, you’re never just a number — you’re treated like family. Whether your tattoo represents a chapter you’re ready to close or you simply want a fresh canvas, we’re here to help you reclaim your skin with confidence.

Fotona StarWalker Tattoo Removal: What Makes It Exceptional?
Breaking Ink, Not Your Spirit
Fotona StarWalker uses powerful light pulses at multiple wavelengths to shatter ink particles into tiny fragments, which your body then naturally processes and removes over time. Different laser frequencies allow effective treatment of both dark and brightly colored tattoos, even notoriously difficult greens and blues.
Depending on the complexity of your tattoo, most patients will need a series of four to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal fading. During your consultation, Dr. Glaser will outline a clear plan, so you know exactly what to expect.
Not Just Any Laser — It’s StarWalker
You’ll find plenty of places offering laser tattoo removal. But very few have the kind of tech that AURĀE does. The Fotona StarWalker isn’t just another laser machine — it’s stacked with smart features designed for better results with less downtime.

Prep Like a Pro
Science Behind Fading Ink
Tattoo removal is more than just zapping ink away — it’s a carefully performed laser procedure designed to break tattoo ink into tiny particles your body can naturally clear. Using the Fotona StarWalker, our team delivers short bursts of light energy at specific wavelengths to target pigment in unwanted tattoos. These pulses fragment the ink particles without harming the surrounding skin, whether you have fair or dark skin.
Your tattoo’s ink colors, placement on the body, skin tone, and how your skin heals all affect how many sessions you’ll need and the final results. For example, darker ink colors like black typically respond faster, while lighter pigments like green or yellow can require more treatments for complete removal. We take time to explain these factors in detail during your free consultation, so you feel confident and empowered every step of the way.
Each treatment at our Mount Pleasant, SC, location lasts roughly 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the treated area. Dr. Glaser uses her experience in plastic surgery and advanced aesthetic care to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap, and we offer numbing cream or cooling devices to ease any discomfort.
Nurturing Your Skin Back
Following treatment, some swelling, redness, or slight blistering in the treated area is normal. These are positive signs that your body is working to rid itself of fragmented tattoo ink. Keeping the area clean, avoiding sun damage, and following personalized aftercare instructions are essential to minimize complications and protect your skin’s appearance during recovery.
Healing time varies by patient, but most see redness fade within a few days and can resume normal activities quickly. Over the following weeks, your tattoo will gradually lighten as your immune system flushes away ink fragments.
How Long to Clear Canvas?
Patients often wonder, 'How many treatments will it take to remove my tattoo?' On average, expect four to eight sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart for optimal fading. However, tattoos with deep pigment, large size, or complex ink colors may require additional sessions. During your consultation, we’ll give you a realistic timeline and discuss what level of fading you can expect, whether you want your tattoo fully removed or just lightened for a cover-up.
Investing in a Fresh Start
When considering tattoo removal, it’s natural to think about the laser tattoo removal cost. At AURĀE Med Spa in Mount Pleasant, SC, our pricing depends on tattoo size, color complexity, and number of sessions needed. We’ll provide a transparent, personalized quote at your consultation, along with flexible payment options so you can begin treatment without unnecessary stress.
Remember, investing in professional tattoo removal protects your skin’s health and minimizes the risks of scarring. Cheaper options like DIY creams or unqualified providers can lead to permanent damage.
