What is Laser Tattoo Removal?​

Laser Tattoo Removal is the use of light to remove ink deposits. Each pulse of the laser sends light energy into your skin. We use different wavelengths of laser light to treat different colours of ink in your tattoo. As the light energy is directed into your skin, it is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles trapped in the dermis of your skin. When the ink particles absorb this energy, they instantly shatter into tiny fragments. Once the laser has broken the ink into smaller pieces, your body's immune system works to remove the ink over the following weeks, flushing it away from the tattooed area. We see the result of this as the tattoo lightening in appearance. Each additional laser treatment breaks down more and more ink until the tattoo can no longer be seen.

Body Tattoo Removal

With our Pico Second laser, we are able to treat tattoos anywhere on the body. The number of treatments required depends on many factors including the size, location and colour of the tattoo, as well as if it's a cover up, has any scarring or if it was carried out by an armature or professional. We are able to treat the full spectrum of colours, bar pastel, white and very light colours. No guarantees can ever be made as each tattoo is unique.

Aftercare for Laser Tattoo Removal
Our best advice: ICE! 
We are huge advocates of removing the heat from the skin. Don't be a hero! This can hugely benefit your healing and mitigate any nasty adverse events.
You can expect swelling, bruising, a sunburn feeling, redness and tenderness. In some cases there can be broken skin but we aim to avoid this at all costs!
You need to avoid strenuous physical activity & swimming for 48h, and sauna steam room etc for 5 days. This period will need to be longer if your skin is still sensitive or broken.
We also advise massaging the area, ideally towards the nearest lymph node, however the friction alone has been found to speed up removal.
A full aftercare breakdown will be given to you at your patch test appointment.
