I had a fantastic experience working with Saxston and her team. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me launch my laser removal business. Their support throughout the process was seamless and reassuring, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

As a professional within the NGO/non-profit sector, I deeply appreciate Astanza Laser's proactive approach to collaboration with organizations dedicated to assisting individuals seeking tattoo removal—a process often intertwined with painful personal histories.

Working with Astanza has been a great experience thus far. I have worked with them for a year and a half and have been consistently impressed by prompt responses to any questions I had or help that I have needed along my journey. If you are interested in going into the laser tattoo removal industry, I highly recommend going through Astanza.

Astanza Laser always delivers. Today I had the honor of speaking with Bennett from the marketing team. He was super helpful in helping me get my new business up and going and getting clients in the door. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with them every moment of the way. Best laser company.

How to Start a Laser Tattoo Removal Business with Astanza Technology

As an entrepreneur or business owner, there are risks and new things to learn with any industry you are entering. We regularly hear from entrepreneurs and experienced business owners about some of their challenges when starting a laser tattoo removal business or opening a medical spa. Each industry has its own intricacies, and laser tattoo removal and aesthetics are no different. Regulations vary from state to state, and the amount the market allows for services and the process for purchasing equipment are all unique to the industry. One of the main things that Astanza clients like about working with us is limiting surprises and keeping the learning curve too steep. We do this is by walking potential clients through each phase of setting up a laser tattoo removal business or medical spa and providing real-world tips and tricks that can make starting a new business or expanding your existing practice easy. We like to think we make the process of creating a laser tattoo removal business easy.

The three most significant barriers that we see potential clients encountering when starting a laser tattoo removal business are confusion regarding laser tattoo removal regulations, not understanding the revenue model, and how to finance the purchase of a laser tattoo removal machine. Read further and see how Astanza helps you every step of the way with starting a laser tattoo removal business.

Laser Tattoo Removal Regulations

One of the most common questions asked by entrepreneurs entering the field of tattoo removal is, “can I perform laser tattoo removal in my state?”

While the answer to this question is not always clear, the short answer is yes; it can be done.

Entrepreneurs with no medical background in over 45 U.S. states operate highly profitable laser tattoo removal businesses on a day-to-day basis. Some states have no regulation on the subject, most require very little to be done, and a few have stricter laws that favor medical professionals with advanced degrees.

Laser tattoo removal businesses exist in all U.S. states and territories and meet existing legal requirements. You can click here to read about the most common laser tattoo removal regulations found in the U.S., what the due diligence process looks like, and how Astanza can help you get started.

The Profitability of Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a fast-growing market driven by the rise of tattoos and the increasing number of people experiencing tattoo regret. As the only safe and effective solution, laser tattoo removal is now a popular service in both medical and cosmetic settings.

Patients are highly motivated and willing to invest in a laser tattoo removal treatment. A typical session costs around $200 and takes about 15 minutes, often translating to roughly $800 in hourly revenue. Most tattoos need 5 to 10 sessions, bringing in $1,000 to $2,000 over the full course of treatment.

Low Start-Up Costs

Practitioners need a few essential elements to start a laser tattoo removal clinic: office space, a marketing budget, and a Q-Switched laser device backed by Astanza.

The space needed for a successful tattoo removal practice is minimal: a waiting room, a treatment room, and an office. The treatment room can be pretty small, as all Astanza tattoo removal lasers are very space-efficient.

The laser tattoo removal procedure requires minimal consumable costs (bandages and antibiotic ointment), so it is virtually pure profit for practitioners.

Financing the Purchase of a Laser Tattoo Removal Laser

Financing a laser purchase is the most common way aesthetic lasers are purchased. The worldwide aesthetic industry is booming with a great potential for profit by entrepreneurs, physicians, and existing medspas. Several forces are at play in the worldwide boom in the aesthetic industry, including; an increase in people with tattoos (and tattoo regrets), an aging population with a growing disposable income, and new treatments that appeal to a wider audience.

At Astanza, we try to make the aesthetic laser purchasing process simple. Our third-party financial companies can help with all your aesthetic laser needs.

Q-Switching

Tattoo removal treatments involve the use of advanced technology called “Q-Switching”. This technique produces quick and powerful pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. Only Q-Switched lasers are proven to safely remove tattoos. Our tattoo removal devices not only effectively remove tattoos, but are safe on all skin types (Fitzpatrick scale I-VI).

Peak Power

Some systems may provide adequate fading results for the first few treatments, but do not have sufficient power to break up the ink of stubborn tattoos deep within the skin’s dermis. To avoid this problem, it’s important to consider peak power as you make your laser purchasing decision. Peak power is a result of pulse width and energy – the smaller the pulse width and the greater the energy production, the higher the peak power. Higher peak power levels allow practitioners to treat tattoos at greater fluences without compromising on laser treatment spot size. In all, peak power allows you to get better removal results for increased patient satisfaction.

Wavelengths

Different colors of tattoo ink absorb different wavelengths of energy – meaning that tattoo removal practitioners switch between different wavelengths of laser energy when treating tattoos. Understanding the capabilities of different wavelengths will greatly guide your choice of laser. There are two common types of Q-Switched lasers in the tattoo removal industry: Nd:YAG and ruby. The go-to laser for most tattoo removal practitioners is an Nd:YAG laser because it is capable of producing the most versatile wavelengths: 1064 nm and 532 nm.

The 1064 nm wavelength is a powerhouse for treating black, blue, and other dark ink colors; the 532 nm wavelength is highly effective for removing red, orange, yellow, and other bright colors. These two powerful wavelengths can completely remove 95% of tattoos. Elite practitioners who are worried about the remaining 5% of tattoos often invest in an additional ruby laser (694 nm) to compliment their purchase of an Nd:YAG laser. Both ruby and Alexandrite (755 nm) wavelengths function very similarly and are excellently absorbed by difficult-to-treat ink colors such as lime green, teal, and turquoise. Be wary of “handpiece filter” or “dye handpiece” systems that tout additional wavelengths but fail to deliver on power.

FDA Clearance

The United States government considers laser tattoo removal to be a medical procedure. Therefore, tattoo removal laser equipment is classified as medical devices and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“FDA clearance means this method for removing tattoos complies with agency requirements for safety and effectiveness,” states an FDA representative in their article about tattoo removal.

If you have searched for lasers online, you probably have probably seen the machines sold on eBay and other online trading sites. These lasers usually boast very attractive pricing, but don’t be misled – it is illegal to perform tattoo removal in the United States with devices that do not have FDA clearance. These lasers are often are built with low-quality materials, produce inconsistent amounts of energy, and endanger patient skin.

Penalties for practicing with a non-FDA cleared medical device in the United States can range from fines to imprisonment. In addition, any patient treated with a non-cleared laser has grounds to take legal action.

For all of these reasons, if you are practicing in the United States, please only consider legal, FDA-cleared laser devices from reputable laser companies such as Astanza. ALL Astanza laser systems sold in the US have FDA clearance. Learn more about Astanza’s full line of FDA-cleared tattoo removal laser products.

Laser Maintenance

Advanced actively Q-Switched tattoo removal lasers require regular maintenance to perform at their best. These advanced laser systems have delicate technical and optical components that need periodic cleaning, calibration, and alignment. Without preventative maintenance and service by trained professionals, tattoo removal equipment will have a reduction in power and efficacy over time.

Because you probably plan to be performing tattoo removal for many years to come, it is important to choose a laser supplier that will provide ongoing service beyond the warranty expiration. After all, your tattoo removal laser is the cornerstone of your practice.

Some laser manufacturers do not offer a la carte services, which means that if you aren’t under an extended warranty contract, they will not service your laser if it fails. Similarly, used laser dealers typically do not provide any maintenance or service support, and the original manufacturers of the used system may not agree to provide service.

Unlike other manufacturers that either gouge customers with outrageous contract costs or neglect to provide responsive, quality technical support, Astanza stands by our systems with ongoing service support by in-house expert technicians.

Astanza clients are covered by our 3-Business Day Service Guarantee, which promises to resolve any laser issues and have the laser working in 3 business days after a client calls, emails, or leaves a voicemail stating an issue or requesting a service request. To learn more, click here.

Training and Support

There are many things things that every laser purchaser should consider when buying a laser and two of the most important are: the quality of the laser system and the reputation of the laser manufacturer. When you buy a tattoo removal laser, you are also establishing an ongoing relationship with the laser supplier; you want to make sure that they provide the resources for your clinical operation to thrive.

In-depth training is essential for any tattoo removal practitioner to feel confident as they start treating patients. From assessing tattoos to discussing aftercare, there are a lot of details that have to be learned to provide top-notch service to your patients.

Astanza gives comprehensive practitioner education to all customers. During training, clients learn extensive details about the science and practice of laser tattoo removal, giving them a foundation of knowledge as they start performing this profitable procedure. Astanza clients will have access to Free Training and Clinical Support for as long as they own an Astanza laser. Free Training and Clinical Support includes access to a free clinical resource library, video consultations with Astanza biomedical engineers and access to complimentary training at New Look Laser College (Dallas location), and pre-scheduled training at Astanza headquarters.

Also, effective marketing efforts are essential to the success of any tattoo removal operation. Even if a clinic has the best laser technology available, it will not achieve profitability unless marketing is used to bring patients in the door. Astanza’s Business Builder System provides expert marketing services and guidance to those adding aesthetic treatments to their existing practice or starting a laser business. Our marketing services are the most comprehensive in the industry and completely customized to your needs.

Astanza provides more than advanced aesthetic laser equipment – we are with you every step of the way throughout the lifetime of your laser tattoo removal business.
