Laser Tattoo Removal
Unwanted tattoos can be removed gradually over a series of sessions using a laser.
Lasers remove tattoos by safely applying intense light to the pigment and breaking up the ink into tiny particles. After several treatments (with regular intervals between sessions), the body breaks down the tattoo ink into tiny fragments, which are eventually absorbed into the bloodstream and safely passed out of the body.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
A lot of energy is needed in order for the laser to break up the ink particles under your skin, therefore, laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable for some people. Discomfort will vary depending on the size of the tattoo and amount of ink in the skin.
The sensation can be similar to the feeling of having a rubber band repeatedly flicked against the skin. Others describe it as a rapid succession of sharp pinpricks, or a warm, prickly sensation.
We will apply cooling products to calm the skin post-treatment. Your skin will also need 6 – 12 weeks to properly recover between treatments.
How long does it take to remove a tattoo with lasers?
A course of 6-10 treatments is often enough to remove the tattoo, depending on the colour and depth of the ink, and the location and age of the tattoo.
How do I know if laser tattoo removal is suitable for me?
Laser tattoo removal may not be suitable for you if you have a dark skin tone; this is due to the potential of the treatment leaving a ‘ghosting’ effect, where the skin is left lighter than the surrounding area. During your consultation, we can assess your tattoo and determine which solution is most appropriate for you. If laser tattoo removal is not suitable, you may prefer our Magnetic Tattoo Removal option.
