Does Tattoo Removal Hurt?
Does It Hurt?
One of the most common concerns we hear about tattoo removal is the fear of pain associated with the process. Understandably, experiences can greatly differ from one facility to another. A testimonial from one of our patients sheds light on the stark contrast in pain management between their initial experience elsewhere and the treatment they received at Renewal Tattoo Removal. Initially subjected to a painful session with little relief from topical numbing cream at a different office, our patient found relief with our pain-free technique. This technique effectively numbed the small of their back, making the laser treatment not only bearable but entirely painless. They shared, “I could hear the laser and could feel a small vibration, but I felt absolutely no pain.” This feedback highlights our commitment to advanced pain management techniques at Renewal Tattoo Removal, ensuring a comfortable experience for our clients—though it’s important to note that individual results may vary.
If the fear of pain has been holding you back from removing an unwanted tattoo, we at Renewal Tattoo Removal in Raleigh, NC offer a compassionate and technologically advanced solution. Discover the difference with our pain-free tattoo removal process and take the first step toward freeing yourself from unwanted ink.

The Four Levels of Comfort Protection
We offer 4 levels of comfort protection during tattoo removal.
Level 1: Targeted energy distribution.
The ultrafast PicoSure technology specifically targets ink particles while limiting damage to healthy tissues. Many patients describe the feeling of the PicoSure laser as a “rubber band popping” sensation.
Level 2: Surface Anesthesia.
For further assurance of comfort we provide a pharmaceutical grade cream that provides comfort during the removal process.
Level 3: Chilling the Nerves: Cryoanesthesia.
Lowering the temperature of the skin slows firing of sensory nerves and helps to remove heat from the area of laser treatment. A jet of cool air and ice packs help to accomplish this.
Level 4: Zero Pain Solution.
This technique, advanced by Dr. Miller, involves placing a solution just underneath the tattoo. In a matter of minutes, the area is ready for treatment. During the treatment, patients report feeling the pressure of the laser’s interaction with tattoo ink but report no pain.
Maximize Your Comfort With Nitronox™
Our Nitronox solution is a validated approach for managing pain and anxiety safely and efficiently throughout the tattoo removal process. The Nitronox system administers a balanced 50% nitrous oxide (N2O) and 50% oxygen (O2) mixture to patients, available for use whenever necessary. Should you feel any discomfort or anxiety during the procedure, you have the option to breathe in this gas blend via a mouthpiece according to your needs. Throughout the entire procedure, you will remain conscious, alert, and breathing independently.
