Tattoo removal
Laser breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles that the body clears away over the following weeks. Each session fades the tattoo a little more.
How it works
A Q-switched laser fires extremely short pulses that shatter the ink in the skin into tiny fragments. Over the next weeks the body’s cleaning cells carry those fragments away, and the tattoo fades. Each session breaks up more ink.
Black and dark blue ink respond best. Green, yellow and some bright colours are harder. Amateur and older tattoos usually fade faster than professional, dense ones.
Good for
- Old or faded tattoos
- Names and small designs
- Lightening before a cover-up
How many sessions?
Several sessions, 6 weeks or more apart. Dark, older tattoos often fade faster than bright colours.

Results and how long they last
You see fading after each session. Small, dark, older tattoos may need 4 to 6 sessions; large or colourful ones need more. Some colours may leave a faint shadow. Sessions are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to let the body clear the ink.

Questions people ask
Can every tattoo be removed completely?
Many fade almost completely, but some colours are stubborn. We give you an honest estimate.
Does tattoo removal hurt more than getting the tattoo?
It feels like quick hot snaps, but each session lasts only minutes. Numbing cream and cooling make it bearable.
Will it leave a scar?
Scarring is uncommon when aftercare is followed. Do not pick the blisters or scabs that may form.
