FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Tattoo Removal

  • How does tattoo removal work?

    Q-Switched Lasers that generate a high powered beam of laser light in an extremely short pulse are the most suitable lasers for tattoo removal treatments. This very short pulse of high powered laser light is absorbed by the tattoo’s ink particles, breaking these down into smaller pieces, and enabling your natural immune defences to absorb the ink. Gradual fading of the tattoo occurs over a series of treatments.

  • What does tattoo removal treatment feel like?

    Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a hot pinprick or the flick of an elastic band. Whilst this is mildly uncomfortable, most people tolerate treatment well. A skin cooling device may be utilised to reduce any discomfort.

  • Who is suitable for tattoo removal?

    Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. 


    A full consultation will be carried out before any treatment is offered to exclude any problems.
