Rediscover the Joy of a Fresh Start
Some tattoos are meant to be with you for your entire life. But other times, a tattoo may not reflect who you currently are. Whether you’ve outgrown a tattoo or got one in a moment of indiscretion, Epione is here to provide effective laser tattoo removal in Beverly Hills. Reduce or even fully remove tattoo ink through a series of professional laser treatments in a state-of-the-art facility.
Tattoo Removal Based on Your Skin’s Needs
For an optimal tattoo removal experience, you need someone who understands the needs of different skin types.

After each treatment session, you should be one step closer to achieving your goals.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?
The increased precision of lasers allows tattoo removal to be far less uncomfortable than it once was. The device Dr. Ourian uses directs the energy directly to the ink particles within the skin while minimizing damage to surrounding cells and tissues. However, because the level of energy needed to break down pigment is a particular strength, there can be mild pain. Fortunately, each treatment lasts mere minutes and it will seem like you are done almost as soon as the treatment starts. Our patients report having a positive experience that minimizes stress and makes tattoo removal easy and convenient.

Will My Skin Need to Recover?
Some swelling and redness is entirely normal for a few days. But this quickly fades and should not prove an issue overall. Some itching and eventual flaking are also normal as skin cell turnover occurs. However, we recommend avoiding certain factors until your skin returns to normal. These include:
- Excess sun exposure
- Abrasive or harsher skin products (retinoids, vitamin C)
- Itching or scratching at the treatment site
Dr. Ourian will also provide instructions for how to care for the skin after treatment. Certain creams and ointments may help with any discomfort by reducing inflammation and maintaining the skin’s moisture.

How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions needed will depend on the amount of pigment to be broken down, but it typically requires between 6 and 12 sessions. During your consultation, Dr. Ourian will evaluate the tattoos you want removed and can provide an estimate based on his experience with similar tattoos.
Sessions are typically spaced apart by about four weeks. We work with patients to find a scheduling routine that works well for them based on their budget and goals. Our goal is to help you achieve the results you want on your own terms.

Will My Tattoo Be Fully Gone?
Laser tattoo removal can fully reduce the majority of tattoos. However, there can be some variation depending on tattoo color and density. For example, dense tattoos (like tribal tattoos or black-out sleeves) will not only require more treatments but are more challenging to fully remove. Ink also plays a role. Black ink is typically the easiest to remove (it absorbs more wavelengths of the laser). By the same principle, purple, yellow, and white ink tend to be more resistant to laser treatment due to reflecting more wavelengths. Additionally, cover-up tattoos can take more treatment due to the greater amount of ink in the skin.
Dr. Ourian looks at all of these factors when building a treatment plan for his patients. He is honest with each patient about what results they can expect and will provide an accurate estimate before you commit to treatment.

Frequently asked questions
How does laser tattoo removal break down ink pigment in the skin?
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering highly targeted pulses of light that are absorbed by the tattoo pigment, causing the ink particles to fragment into smaller pieces. Once broken down, the body’s immune system can more easily eliminate the pigment over time. At Epione, experienced clinicians select lasers suited to different ink colors and skin types for optimal results. Dr. Simon Ourian explains that using advanced laser technologies minimizes damage to surrounding tissue while maximizing ink clearance. Multiple sessions are typically required because each treatment gradually reduces pigment density.
Which factors influence how many laser tattoo removal sessions a person will need?
Several variables affect the number of sessions needed, including tattoo age, ink color, ink depth, and previous treatments. Older tattoos or those with black and dark blue inks tend to respond more quickly than bright colors like green or yellow. Tattoos that were professionally applied may take more sessions than amateur tattoos due to deeper and more concentrated ink placement. At Epione, customized treatment plans take these factors into account so patients have realistic expectations. Dr. Simon Ourian emphasizes that progress is measured gradually and adjustments are made based on how the skin and pigment respond.
Are all ink colors treatable with laser tattoo removal?
While most ink colors can be treated with laser removal, some respond better than others due to how they absorb light energy. Black ink absorbs a broad range of wavelengths, making it the easiest to target. Colors like red, blue, green, and yellow may require specific laser wavelengths for best results. The experts at Epione assess the tattoo’s color spectrum and choose the appropriate laser for each hue. Dr. Simon Ourian explains that successful removal of multi‑colored tattoos often uses a combination of wavelengths across sessions to break up each pigment effectively.
What sensations can patients expect during a laser tattoo removal session?
During a laser tattoo removal session, patients often feel snapping sensations at the skin’s surface as the laser pulses. Many describe the feeling as similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin. Topical anesthesia, cooling, or vibration devices are commonly used at Epione to enhance comfort during treatment. Dr. Simon Ourian notes that the procedure is generally well tolerated, and clinicians adjust energy settings as needed to balance effectiveness and patient comfort. Most sessions are completed relatively quickly and allow patients to resume daily activities afterward.
What should someone expect in terms of recovery and aftercare after laser tattoo removal?
After a session, treated areas may appear red, swollen, or slightly tender, and blisters or scabbing can form as part of the healing process. These effects are expected and typically resolve within a week when proper aftercare is followed. At Epione, clinicians provide detailed guidance on cleaning, protecting, and moisturizing treated skin to support healing and reduce the risk of infection. Dr. Simon Ourian explains that diligent aftercare — including avoiding sun exposure and picking at scabs — helps ensure the best possible fading outcome over successive treatments.
Can laser tattoo removal result in scarring or skin texture changes?
When performed by trained professionals with appropriate laser technology, tattoo removal rarely causes significant scarring. However, individual healing responses vary, and temporary changes in pigment or texture can occur. At Epione, clinicians use industry‑leading lasers and customize settings to reduce risk and protect skin integrity. Dr. Simon Ourian emphasizes that careful assessment and technique are key to minimizing adverse effects. Patients are advised to follow aftercare recommendations closely to support smooth healing and minimize long‑term texture changes.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types?
Laser tattoo removal can be performed on a wide range of skin tones, but treatment plans and laser choices are tailored to individual skin characteristics to ensure safety. Some lasers penetrate differently depending on pigment levels, so clinicians at Epione evaluate each patient’s skin type and ink depth before treatment. Dr. Simon Ourian explains that adjusting laser wavelength and energy settings helps protect surrounding skin while targeting ink. A personalized approach ensures effective and safe removal for many people, including those with darker skin tones.
