Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses advanced laser technology to target and break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. The laser emits pulses of light at specific wavelengths, which are absorbed by the tattoo pigments, causing them to shatter into smaller fragments. These fragments are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system over time. The process is safe, effective, and gradually fades the tattoo with minimal impact on the surrounding skin, making it an ideal solution for unwanted tattoos.
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective solution for those looking to erase or lighten an unwanted tattoo. Tattoos tell a story, but sometimes those stories change. Using advanced laser technology, we target and break down ink particles beneath the skin, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time. Whether it’s for a fresh start or to clear the way for new ink, we’re here to help you rewrite your skin’s story.
If you’re considering laser tattoo removal, it’s important to understand why this treatment is a trusted choice for safely and effectively removing unwanted tattoos. Here are the key benefits explained in more detail:
Safe for Most Skin Types
Laser tattoo removal with the Nd:YAG laser is designed to work on a variety of skin tones, making it one of the most versatile options available. Its advanced technology allows precise targeting of tattoo ink while minimising the risk of damage to surrounding tissue. Whether you have fair or darker skin, the treatment can be customised for your needs, ensuring safety throughout the process.
Targets a Wide Range of Ink Colors
The Nd:YAG laser operates at multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat tattoos of various colors effectively. The 1064 nm wavelength works particularly well on dark pigments like black and blue, while the 532 nm wavelength is ideal for brighter hues like red, orange, and yellow. This versatility means that even multicoloured tattoos can be successfully treated, ensuring comprehensive results.
Minimal Downtime
Unlike more invasive procedures, laser tattoo removal doesn’t require lengthy recovery periods. After a session, you might experience slight redness or swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most people can return to their daily routines immediately, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Gradual Fading for Natural Results
One of the key benefits of laser tattoo removal is that it works progressively. With each session, the tattoo ink breaks down further, leading to a gradual fading effect. This allows your skin to heal and adapt naturally, leaving behind a clear and even appearance.
Non-Invasive and Suitable for New and Older Tattoos
Laser tattoo removal is completely non-invasive, which means no incisions or needles are involved. It’s effective on tattoos of all ages—whether your tattoo is decades old or a recent addition, the laser can target the pigment for successful removal.
Laser tattoo removal is a straightforward and manageable process, and knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and confident about starting your journey. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what happens during and after your treatment:
During Your Treatment:
Before your session begins, we’ll take steps to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible. A topical numbing cream may be applied to the area to minimise any discomfort, and some treatments include a cooling device to soothe the skin throughout the procedure. The session itself typically lasts 10–30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of your tattoo.
As the laser targets the tattoo, you may feel a snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band lightly flicking your skin. Rest assured, this is a normal part of the process and is over quickly. The laser precisely targets the tattoo ink, leaving surrounding skin unharmed. We’ll check in with you during the treatment to ensure you’re feeling okay and adjust settings if necessary to keep the experience as gentle as possible.
After Your Treatment:
Once the session is complete, you might notice some redness or slight swelling in the treated area. This is your body’s natural response and a sign that the ink is starting to break down. These effects typically subside within a few days, and your skin will continue to heal over the next 1–2 weeks. During this time, it’s important to keep the area clean and avoid direct sun exposure to protect your skin.
With each session, you’ll notice the tattoo fading, a visible reminder that the treatment is working. Gradually, as the ink particles are broken down and naturally eliminated by your body, you’ll see significant improvements. The process may take several sessions, but the results are well worth it.
Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process that requires patience to achieve the best results. On average, most tattoos require 6–10 sessions for noticeable fading, with sessions spaced approximately 6–8 weeks apart. This spacing allows your skin to heal and your body’s immune system to naturally eliminate the fragmented ink particles. While it may feel like a long journey, this timeline ensures that the treatment is both effective and safe for your skin.
The number of sessions needed depends on a variety of factors, including the size, color, and depth of your tattoo. Darker inks, like black and blue, often respond faster, while brighter hues, such as red or yellow, may take additional sessions. Similarly, larger tattoos or those with multiple layers of ink may require more time.
Your skin type and overall health also play a role. A strong immune system can help your body remove the ink particles more efficiently. It’s important to understand that complete removal may not happen overnight, but with each session, you’ll see steady progress as your tattoo fades.

The sensation during laser tattoo removal is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. While it may cause some discomfort, most people find it tolerable. We also use cooling devices or numbing creams to minimise any pain during the session.
Most tattoos require 6–10 sessions, but the exact number depends on factors such as the tattoo’s size, color, age, and depth. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow proper healing and fading.

Many tattoos fade significantly after laser removal, and some may disappear entirely. However, results vary based on the ink type, color, and how deeply it was applied. Certain colors, like green or yellow, may take longer to treat.
Yes! The laser can target specific areas of a tattoo, allowing you to fade or remove only certain sections while keeping the rest intact. This is great for tattoo modifications or touch-ups.
