About

WHAT IS TATTOO REMOVAL?

Tattoo removal uses Q-switched or picosecond lasers to break down ink particles in the skin. The laser targets the pigment without damaging surrounding tissue, fragmenting the ink into tiny particles that the body's immune system gradually eliminates. Multiple sessions are needed to progressively fade or completely remove the tattoo.

IT CAN BE USED TO:

Completely remove unwanted tattoos
Fade tattoos before a cover-up
Remove professional or amateur tattoos
Treat various ink colours (black and dark inks respond best)
Clear skin for a fresh start

Process

What to Expect

A qualified practitioner uses a laser that emits short pulses of high-intensity light. Different wavelengths target different ink colours. The light energy shatters ink particles, which are then processed and eliminated by the body's lymphatic system. Each session removes more ink, gradually fading the tattoo.
