Tattoo regret: a thing of the past

Have you fallen out of love with your tattoo? Good news! Tattoos are no longer permanent.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Laser energy is applied to the tattoo in short pulses. The ink particles are targeted by the laser and broken into small fragments, without affecting the condition of your skin. Because tattoos are heavily deposited deep into the skin, multiple treatments are required to completely remove the tattoo.

How many sessions does it take to remove a tattoo?

The short answer: it depends. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on a few factors:

  • The size of your tattoo
  • The colour(s) of your tattoo
  • The type of ink used for the tattoo
  • The location of the tattoo
  • The depth of the tattoo
  • The quality of your tattoo (professional tattoos require more sessions than amateur tattoos)
  • The length of time between your laser sessions

Does it hurt to get a tattoo removed?

Look, yes. The majority of our clients experience a warm, rubber-band snap like sensation on the skin. However, please be assured, we make every attempt to ensure that your laser tattoo removal treatments are as quick and painless as possible. A topical cream can be applied or icepacks can be used pre-treatment to alleviate any pain or discomfort.
