About the Astanza Duality Tattoo Removal System
At Twisted Tattoo in San Antonio, TX, we use the Astanza Duality laser system to provide safe and effective laser tattoo removal services. This state-of-the-art Q-switched Nd:YAG laser uses two versatile wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm, to effectively remove a wide range of popular tattoo colors. It’s ultra-quick pulse durations and high pulse energy produce intense peak power for optimal ink shattering. Additionally, the Duality is designed with a flat-top homogenized square spot beam for safer energy application and reduced treatment overlap, allowing it to safely treat all skin tones.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR FIRST LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TREATMENT
Our laser tattoo removal process is designed to be fast and as comfortable as possible. During your appointment, the Astanza Duality laser will be directed toward the tattooed area to break down the ink particles. The laser energy is absorbed by the ink, which causes it to break apart and eventually fade from view. Depending on the size, color, and age of your tattoo, multiple treatments may be required to achieve the desired results. After each session, you may notice a gradual lightening of the tattoo, enhancing your overall satisfaction with the process. Our team will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Embarking on the journey of removing a tattoo can be both exciting and nerve-wracking.

Laser Tattoo Removal FAQ's
Are you considering laser tattoo removal but have questions about the process? You're not alone! Many individuals seek clarity on various aspects of this popular treatment. Below, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you navigate your journey of laser tattoo removal.
What are the side effects of laser tattoo removal?
Common side effects of laser tattoo removal range from temporary redness, swelling, itchiness, discoloration, scabbing, and blistering. These are all natural reactions that your immune system could have due to the laser treatment. Side effects are only temporary and usually subside in 2 to 3 weeks following treatment, especially when paired with aftercare best practices.
Is the Duality laser machine dangerous?
NO! The Duality Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is FDA-cleared and provides the safest laser treatments. This machine is the best solution for removing tattoos because it can penetrate and remove particles without causing harm to the surrounding skin tissue. Additionally, our Duality laser is designed to safely treat all skin types, including darker skin types and newly tanned skin.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Ultimately, the amount of pain will depend on each client’s tolerance. Many people compare the laser to a rubber band snapping against the skin or getting a tattoo applied all over again.
How long is a laser session?
Depending on the size of your tattoo, one session can last anywhere from a couple of seconds to 20 minutes. Larger tattoos may require more sessions for complete or partial removal. Additionally, big pieces like full sleeves, back, or chest pieces will need to be treated one section at a time.
How many laser sessions will I need?
The number of treatments needed is unique for each person and tattoo. On average, most clients see significant fading after a few treatments while others require 5 to 10 treatments or more for complete removal. During your free consultation, our laser technicians will assess your tattoo using factors like tattoo size, location, age, ink density, pre-existing scarring, ink colors, and more, to determine how many treatments you will need.
How long does it take to see complete results?
Some clients see complete results after a few months, while others may take up to a year. Ultimately, removal or fading results for a cover-up are completely dependent on the number of sessions you’re assigned and how quickly your immune system is able to process the procedure. Keep in mind that treatments are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to give your skin time to heal before the next laser session.
How much does it cost to get laser tattoo removal?
Twisted Tattoo determines the price per treatment based on the size of your tattoo and number of treatments needed to reach your desired goal. We offer free consultations to help familiarize clients with the laser procedure and determine a pricing plan that works best for you, your skin type, and your lifestyle.
