Tattoo removal uses specialised lasers that emit short pulses of light energy to fragment tattoo ink particles. These tiny fragments are then naturally cleared away by the body’s immune system over time. The treatment is customised based on tattoo characteristics and skin type to optimise safety and effectiveness.
Each session is quick, with local numbing or cooling applied for comfort. Multiple sessions are usually necessary to fully remove tattoos, especially those with darker or multiple colours.
A cooling device and numbing cream is used to reduce discomfort. Some describe the sensation as a rubber band snap.
This depends on the tattoo’s size, colours, and age. Typically, 6 to 10 sessions are recommended.
Most colours respond well, but some inks like white, pink, bright green and light blue can be more difficult to remove.
When performed by experienced doctors, the risk of scarring is minimal with proper aftercare.
Keep the area clean, avoid sun exposure, and apply healing ointments as advised. Avoid picking at any blisters or scabs.
