Sculpted by WH Aesthetics — Professional Ink Removal Treatments for Clearer, Refreshed Skin
That tattoo made sense at the time. Maybe it was a name, a phase, or just a design you have long outgrown. Whatever the reason, living with ink you no longer want can affect how you feel about your own skin every single day. Laser tattoo removal in Columbia, SC, offers a non-surgical way to gradually fade unwanted ink, letting your skin tell a story you actually choose.
At Sculpted by WH Aesthetics, we use the Cartessa Chrome Lase-Station®, an advanced laser platform calibrated to precisely and gradually break down tattoo pigment. Whether your tattoo is small or large, old or recent, our team creates a plan designed around your skin tone, ink colors, and removal goals.
Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment Options
Every tattoo is different, and so is every removal plan. Here is a general overview of the treatment approaches available at Sculpted based on your individual needs:
A tattoo removal treatment using the Cartessa Chrome Lase-Station® to begin breaking down ink pigment. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve your ideal result - these expectations will be discussed with your provider during your initial consultation.
A shorter treatment course focused on lightening existing ink rather than full removal. This creates a cleaner canvas so your new cover-up tattoo looks sharp and vibrant.

What Happens During the Laser Tattoo Removal Process?
Getting laser treatment for tattoo removal with the Cartessa Chrome Lase-Station® at Sculpted by WH Aesthetics is straightforward, personalized, and designed around your comfort. Here is what to expect at each visit:
Consultation
We assess your tattoo’s size, color, age, and placement, and discuss your goals. We use this to build your custom removal timeline.
Preparation
