Evolve Tattoo Removal — Local services in San Diego

I came to Evolve to do a laser removal session for my microbladed eyebrows and I am SO pleased with my experience and results.

My eyebrows were done 4 (almost 5 years) ago in the Philippines. They were nice for a bit but over time, I realized I wanted a softer look on my face and the ink had also blown out. I never touched them up after my initial appointment because I was okay with them fading. By the time of my appointment, they had faded a considerable amount but were gray.

Making a consultation is so easy! I did it online and filled out paperwork immediately after. Once it was the day of my appointment, I had a family member drop me off since parking can be tricky depending on the time/day.

Evolve is a very pleasant and clean place with a kind staff.

Jordan, who worked on my removal, is truly the best — friendly, informative, professional and so much more. She talked me through the procedure and showed me all the different possible outcomes based on previous clients. I appreciate how transparent she was and how easy she is to talk to.

I had my consultation then was able to start my session immediately after!

I did a test on one small part of my brow to see how they would react. (If you stop here and decide you want to wait, it will be around $80 to account for the machine usage/time/etc. I believe it goes towards your actual session should you decide to proceed at a later time—kind of like a deposit.). My eyebrow handled it fairly well (it didn’t turn yellow or orange) so I proceeded with the whole treatment for both eyebrows.

The numbing cream and chiller are wonderful. I highly recommend using them for a comfortable experience even if you think you can tolerate the pain.

I paid $200 before tip and I genuinely believe it was worth every single penny!

It’s only been a couple hours at this point. Personally when I look up close, I can still see subtle pigment that lightened to a light brown (which is totally normal, i did only do one session after all and my body is still going to need time to heal) but seriously— seeing all the gray gone is comforting. I don’t think anyone else notices the subtle pigment I mentioned. It feels nice to see my face without the microbladed eyebrows look! I’m going to wait to see how they look after a month of letting them fade and letting my eyebrow hairs grow out before I decide whether I truly need a second session.

I can’t stress enough how much I recommend this place! I felt safe the whole time and I am happy...

There is a significant different vibe when you walk into the Evolve Tattoo Removal office. I was greeted right away with a smile and warm greeting from the front receptionist Julia. This may not seem like much..... but i have been to other laser removal services before, and have been treated as if I had a giraffe with four heads growing out of my back. This was a great step in the right direction already! I had my consultation with the nurse,Jessica, and I was taken back by the interaction. I was not looking to fully laser out all of my tattoo. I was merely looking to fade it enough to get it covered up, as recommended by my tattoo artist. The nurse was totally on board with this and didn't try to up-sell me on anything, or try to tell me i needed excessive sessions. Holy cow, tattoo removal with the client's best interest in mind? I was in disbelief. Upon the day of my appointment, i was given some topical numbing cream, that did wonders compared to what i had experienced before. Very nice touch. It was short and easy and the results that i received with just the first session, have had me going back ever since! I have been going for a couple months now and I'm getting really close to being able to redo an entire sleeve. Thank you guys so much!! You have done in a couple of months, what other services have claimed would take over a year and a half. In just a few months i will have an entire new arm! ...

As a first-time tattoo removal patient, I recently underwent my initial session and wanted to share my experience. I scheduled a consultation online and was pleasantly surprised that I could begin the process the same day.

The nurse conducting the consultation was transparent about the pain involved in the removal process. I appreciated this honesty, as the procedure was indeed uncomfortable. However, after 2-3 hours, I did not experience any lingering pain or discomfort. The session lasted 10-15 minutes MAX. The tattoo being removed is on my back, and I was able to sleep soundly the same night.

It has been 24 hours since the treatment, and I am pleased to report that I am not feeling any pain at the site. The nurse guided me through each step of the process, providing support and information throughout. The laser treatment itself was painful, but I found comfort in the protective measures for my eyes and stress balls to manage the pain. Taking breathing breaks between sessions was also helpful. The nurse's patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement made a significant difference in my experience.

If you are contemplating tattoo removal through laser treatments, I recommend being fully prepared for the process. It is not a quick fix, and sessions are typically recommended every 10 weeks. Patience is key during the removal journey, so ensure you are mentally and emotionally ready for the...
