Tattoo Removal

Q-switched laser technology delivers nanosecond pulses that shatter tattoo ink into fragments small enough for your lymphatic system to clear. Different wavelengths address different ink colours; black and dark blue respond fastest, while green, light blue and yellow require more sessions and sometimes cannot be fully cleared.

• Progressive fading toward full removal
• Also used to lighten a tattoo ahead of a cover-up
• Multiple wavelengths for different ink colours
• Non-surgical with no stitches or excision
• Treatment of amateur and professional tattoos

1. 01

   Consultation with a realistic session estimate and patch test

2. 02

   Eyewear, cooling and rapid pulsing that feels like elastic snaps

3. 03

   Immediate frosting of the ink — a normal, temporary reaction

4. 04

   Dressing applied; blistering can occur and is part of healing

5. 05

   Eight weeks between sessions so the body can clear the ink

Adults with unwanted tattoos and realistic expectations. Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over tanned skin, with photosensitising medication, or a keloid tendency without discussion.

• Keep the area clean, dry and covered for 3 days
• Do not pop blisters; apply the ointment provided
• No swimming, sauna or gym for a week
• SPF 50 on the site until fully healed and between sessions

• How many sessions will I need?

  Typically six to twelve, depending on ink density, colour, age, location and your immune clearance. We estimate at consultation.

• Will it scar?
• Does it hurt more than the tattoo?
