Tattoo Removal
Laser-based fading and removal of unwanted tattoos
Laser tattoo removal uses focused pulses of light to shatter tattoo ink particles into fragments small enough for your body's immune system to clear naturally, gradually fading the tattoo over a series of sessions.
Different ink colours respond differently to laser wavelengths, and darker inks generally respond faster than lighter or multicoloured ones — this is assessed during your first consultation to give you a realistic timeline.

What to Expect
Ink Assessment
Ink colour, density and skin tone are evaluated to plan the number of sessions.
Treatment Session
Laser pulses are applied across the tattoo in a controlled pattern.
Healing Interval
Sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow ink clearance between treatments.
Progress Review
Fading is assessed at each visit to track progress toward the goal.
Recovery & Aftercare
The treated area may blister, scab or feel like a mild burn for several days; proper aftercare minimises scarring risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions does full removal take?
This varies significantly by ink colour and density — anywhere from 6 to 12+ sessions is common for full removal.
Is it painful?
Most patients describe it as similar to or slightly more intense than getting the tattoo itself; numbing options are available.
Will there be scarring?
When aftercare instructions are followed carefully, scarring risk is low, though not zero.
