Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive method that targets and breaks down ink particles in the skin. Over time, these particles are naturally flushed out by your body, leading to a gradual fading of the tattoo. This process is highly effective for a wide range of colors, designs, and tattoo sizes, and it’s safe for all skin types. 

Laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable; however, we use a numbing cream, icepacks and cooling device during treatment to ensure maximum patient comfort. 

It is impossible to accurately predict the number of treatments necessary as it depends on the amount of ink used and how deep the ink was inserted. However, as a guide most professional tattoos will require at least six to twelve treatments. Follow up treatments are conducted at no less than 6–8-week intervals. Further fading can occur for several months after each treatment. 

It is possible to remove or significantly lighten most tattoos. Black, blue and red tattoos tend to respond well. Aqua, green and yellow tattoos may be more resistant and only partially fade. White tattoos reflect laser light and therefore do not respond to laser treatment. 

Time is required between each laser treatment in order to allow the body’s lymphatic (cleaning) system to remove the ink that has been treated by the laser. A minimum period of six (6) weeks between treatments is recommended. 

Removal can commence as soon as the tattoo has completely healed. Although it may appear healed within a week or two the tattoo will still require further time to completely heal prior to removal commencing. A minimum period of six (6) weeks is advised. Your initial consultation can take place at any time during the six weeks. 

Yes, the area can be re-tattooed following laser tattoo removal. Whether you have had complete removal, partial removal or just lightening, the area will be able to be re-tattooed. Replacing an existing tattoo is a common reason for having laser tattoo removal. 

 In many cases, there will be a 100% clearance of the tattoo after laser tattoo removal. On average, 95% fading is considered a good result. The result depends upon the colour and type of ink used as well as the depth of penetration of the ink in the skin.
