Your questions, answered

Yes, your consultation is free. It’s a chance to understand your options. No terms or conditions apply.

Short pulses of focused energy at selected light wavelengths target tattoo ink beneath your skin. The laser breaks the ink into smaller fragments, which your body’s immune system removes.

Your session count depends on ink depth, tattoo age and colour intensity, from light shading to dense, dark ink. Generally, fading for cover-ups takes 4–8 sessions and full removal 8–10+ sessions, with most people seeing initial results after 1 or 2 sessions.

Your treatments are about 12 weeks apart. No recovery time is needed; you can return to normal activities without restrictions.

Treatment is generally mild and gentle, with minimal side effects. Cooling your skin reduces pain and minimizes tissue damage during removal.
