Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal is a transformative process that uses q switch ND yag laser to target and break down ink particles embedded in the skin. Our cutting-edge technology penetrates deep into the skin, effectively fading tattoos with each session. Unlike outdated methods like creams or surgery, laser tattoo removal provides lasting results without compromising your skin’s integrity.
The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as tattoo size, ink colours, ink depth, age of tattoo, skin type, and individual response to treatment. On average, 8 – 10 or more sessions may be needed, spaced at least 8 weeks apart.
Visible fading of the tattoo typically occurs around 6 – 8 weeks after each session. Significant changes become more noticeable after multiple sessions as the body’s immune system gradually clears away the fragmented ink particles.
After each session, you may experience temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, blistering, or scabbing. Following pre- and post-treatment care instructions is crucial to ensure proper healing and minimise the risk of complications.
While laser tattoo removal can significantly fade or even completely remove tattoos for many individuals, complete removal is not always guaranteed. It’s important to maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure.
Consultation is free, no obligation and takes 10 minutes for all treatments.
