The laser generates short pulses of high powered light which are absorbed by the ink, which causes it to shatter and break down into smaller particles. This then enables your natural immune system to absorb and disperse the ink. A gradual fading of the tattoo occurs over a series of treatments.

​

The number of treatments depends on a number of factors such as the density, colour, age, and where the tattoo is situated. Amateur tattoos can be quick to remove, taking from as little as 2 to 6 sessions, whereas professional tattoos will take longer to fade. Treatments are usually around 5 to 6 weeks apart.

​

Prior to commencing treatment you will be given a full consultation and patch test by one of our fully qualified laser technicians. The patch test determines how the skin reacts . It also gives the client an idea of how the full treatment will feel. The consultation and patch test is free.
