How removal treatments work
At True U Aesthetics we perform tattoo removal treatments billed per session using advanced technology to fade unwanted ink. Each appointment is tailored to your skin type and the ink’s depth; a consultation establishes a treatment plan and realistic expectations. We do not guarantee specific outcomes, and every plan is adjusted for individual safety and response.
What shapes progress are measurable factors like pigment color, how deep the ink sits, and individual skin reaction. Treatments are scheduled session-by-session so your practitioner can evaluate fading before each subsequent visit. This per-session approach lets us prioritize safety and adapt the plan to your skin rather than follow a fixed regimen.
Preparing for your appointment
Plan for a 75 MINUTES appointment; arrive on time to make the most of your session. We bill per session with prices Starting at $300, and your practitioner will review scheduling for any recommended follow-ups during your consultation. Our Van Ness Corridor / Civic Center location is convenient for commuters using Civic Center BART, MUNI, and Van Ness buses.
Because San Francisco’s climate is mild and often foggy in summer, many clients prefer fall and winter scheduling when treated skin is easier to keep out of direct sun. Our busiest months — January, October, and November — reflect New Year decisions and the seasonal advantage for aftercare. You can pair appointments with errands near City Hall or Union Square.
Recovery and expected follow-up
After each session you should protect the treated area from sun and follow the aftercare instructions your practitioner provides. Because we tailor treatments to skin type and ink depth, follow-up scheduling is determined case-by-case. Treatments are billed per session so each follow-up visit can reassess progress and adapt the plan based on how your skin responds.
No clinic can promise complete removal in a specific number of visits; results vary with pigment, placement, and skin characteristics. We’ll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation and recommend a safe timeline. Because of local transit convenience, many clients choose lunchtime or after-work bookings and bring questions for their in-person assessment.
