What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses advanced laser technology to gradually fade or completely remove unwanted tattoos. High-energy laser pulses are directed at the tattoo pigment, breaking the ink into tiny particles while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.
Over the following weeks, your body's natural immune system clears these fragmented ink particles, causing the tattoo to fade progressively after each session. Modern laser technology provides a more precise, effective, and safer alternative to older tattoo removal methods, with a significantly lower risk of scarring.
The number of sessions required depends on the tattoo's size, colour, depth, age, and your skin type. During your consultation, our experts will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
The laser delivers ultra-short pulses of concentrated light energy that are selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink. The pigment shatters into microscopic particles, which are then naturally removed by your body's immune system over time.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process. The number of treatment sessions varies for each individual based on the characteristics of the tattoo and your skin.
Factors That Affect the Number of Sessions
Typical Treatment Plan
| Tattoo Size | Estimated Sessions |
|---|---|
| Small | 4–8 Sessions |
| Medium | 6–10 Sessions |
| Large | 8–15 Sessions |
For optimal healing and ink clearance, treatment sessions are usually scheduled every 6–8 weeks. Your doctor will recommend a personalized schedule based on your tattoo's response and skin healing.
