East on Highway 1
From Abbotsford
Abbotsford clients reach us by heading east on Highway 1 to downtown Chilliwack. Our clinic is at 9123 Mary St, Unit 205, and we see people from Clearbrook, Mill Lake, Mount Lehman and across Abbotsford for tattoo removal.
People make the trip for a straight answer. At your first visit we look at the size, ink colours, age and placement of your tattoo, check your skin, and tell you how many sessions to expect. If a tattoo is unlikely to fade fully, we say so before you book.
We use the Alma ClearLift, which breaks the ink into tiny pieces that your body clears over the following weeks. Sessions sit 6 to 8 weeks apart, so the drive is a handful of trips over several months, not a weekly commitment. Read more on our laser tattoo removal page, or see our laser hair removal in Abbotsford and all the areas we serve.
The process is the same for every tattoo, so you know what to expect before you make the drive.
We check the size, ink colours, age and where it sits, ask about your health and medications, and talk about what you want. Some people want it gone. Others want it lighter for a cover up.
We protect your eyes, clean the area and pass the ClearLift over the tattoo. Most sessions are quick, though larger pieces take longer. Many clients describe a sharp snap, like a rubber band, that passes fast.
The skin can look red, swollen or frosted white afterwards. We cover it and send you home with clear instructions, so you can heal in your own space in Abbotsford.
We space sessions 6 to 8 weeks apart, which gives your body time to clear the ink and your skin time to recover. Booking closer together does not speed things up.
Here is how tattoo removal tends to work for people who come to us from Abbotsford.
Many people come in to lighten an old piece before a cover up. Ask your tattoo artist how light it needs to be, and we plan the sessions around that.
Some tattoos mark a chapter that is over. We tell you plainly what fading can do, and we never plan more sessions than you need.
Black and dark blue ink usually respond fastest. Greens, light blues, yellows and white need more patience, and we tell you what to expect for your colours.
With sessions 6 to 8 weeks apart, the trip from Abbotsford comes around every couple of months, not every week.
We check your skin tone and recent sun exposure first, and tell you if a fresh tan means waiting. Safety comes before speed.
We plan your next session at the end of each appointment, so your series fits around work, family and the drive.
We go through aftercare with you before you leave. If you have a question once you are home in Abbotsford, call or message us.
Wash gently with mild soap and pat dry. Do not scrub.
Cover the area outdoors, and use sunscreen once the skin has healed.
Picking scabs or popping blisters can scar the skin and slow fading.
Avoid hot tubs, pools, saunas and heavy sweating until the skin settles.
Nobody can give you an honest session count from a photo. After we see your tattoo in person you will know the likely number of visits and the price per session before you start.
Most tattoos need 5 to 10 sessions. Small, light, older tattoos can need fewer. Large, dark or colourful pieces can need more.
About 6 to 8 weeks apart, so a full series runs from several months to a year or more. For Abbotsford clients that is a trip every couple of months.
Size sets the price, from $110 for an extra small tattoo up to $320 for a large one. We confirm the size at your assessment.
If your artist will cover the old piece, you may only need a few sessions to lighten it. Bring their advice to your assessment.
These prices are per session and depend on the size of the tattoo. We confirm the exact size at your assessment, so you know the price before you start.
Up to 2 inches. Per session.
Up to 4 inches. Per session.
Up to 6 inches. Per session.
Up to 8 inches. Per session.

Most tattoos need about 5 to 10 sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Small, light and older tattoos can need fewer, while large, dark or colourful ones can need more. We give you a realistic estimate at your assessment.
Many clients do. Sessions are 6 to 8 weeks apart, so you make a trip every couple of months, not every week. We plan each visit and book the next one before you leave.
Most people feel a quick, sharp snap, like a rubber band flicked against the skin. It is uncomfortable but brief. Sensitive areas can feel stronger, and we tell you what to expect for your placement.
The ClearLift works on many ink colours. Black and dark blue usually fade fastest. Green, light blue, yellow and white ink can be slower and may not clear fully. We look at your tattoo and tell you what to expect.
Many tattoos fade a great deal and some clear almost completely, but we cannot promise that. Ink colour, depth, age and your skin all play a part. We tell you honestly what is likely before you book.
Yes. Lightening an old tattoo gives a tattoo artist more room to work. Ask your artist how light the old piece needs to be, bring that to your assessment, and we plan the sessions around it.
Keep the area clean, covered and out of the sun. Do not pick scabs or pop blisters, and avoid hot tubs, pools and saunas until the skin settles. We go through full aftercare with you before you leave.
Often yes, but we check your skin first and adjust the laser settings. Darker or freshly tanned skin has a higher risk of colour changes, so we may ask you to wait if you have a recent tan.
