Laser tattoo removal in Columbus can be performed by licensed physicians or by delegated staff working under direct on-site physician supervision.

Who can legally perform laser tattoo removal in Ohio:

• Licensed Physicians (MD or DO): may perform independently
• Cosmetic therapists, Registered Nurses (RNs), and Practical Nurses (LPNs): may perform only if the supervising physician is physically on-site during treatment

Columbus has 5 clinics in our directory with a range of laser systems including Duality, Hollywood Spectra, and PiQo4. Starting prices average $159, which is in line with the Ohio state average.

Ohio requires a physician to be physically on-site when non-physicians operate the laser. This is stricter than states that allow remote supervision. At your consultation, ask who will be performing the procedure and whether a physician is present in the building during your session.

Use your consultation to compare. Come prepared to ask:

• What laser do you use, and why is it right for my tattoo and skin tone?
• Can I see before-and-after photos of similar tattoos you have treated?
• What is your policy if I need more sessions than estimated?
