Laser tattoo removal works by delivering high-intensity light pulses into the skin, which break down the tattoo pigment into smaller particles that can be naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.

Laser tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, often described like being snapped with a rubber band. However, many clinics use numbing creams or cooling equipment to minimise discomfort during the procedure.

The number of sessions needed depends on various factors, such as tattoo size, ink colour, depth, and individual skin characteristics. On average, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are required. Complete removal is not guaranteed (and no service can offer complete removal due to individual variances).

Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blistering, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. In rare cases, scarring or infection can occur. However, these risks are minimised when the procedure is performed by a trained professional as well as providing suitable after care advise. No restricted clothing, no excess heat and no perfumed products to area.

Most tattoo colours can be effectively treated with lasers, although darker pigments like black and blue respond best. Lighter colours may require more sessions or specialised laser wavelengths for optimal results.

Session durations vary depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo but typically range from a few minutes to half an hour.
