What is laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser light to break tattoo ink down into smaller particles, which your immune system then eliminates naturally over time.
The treatment is safe, effective and suitable for all tattoo colours and skin types. Whether you want to fade a tattoo for a cover-up or remove it completely, laser tattoo removal is the go-to solution.
Why choose laser tattoo removal?
- Safe and non-invasive: no incisions or surgery, so the risk of complications is minimal.
- Effective on all tattoo colours: advanced lasers target many pigment types, including black, red, blue and green inks.
- Minimal downtime: resume your daily activities immediately after the session.
- Personalised treatment: plans tailored to your tattoo’s size, location and colour.
The science behind laser tattoo removal
- The laser targets the ink: it emits pulses of light energy that pass through the skin to the tattoo ink.
- The pigment breaks down: the energy breaks the ink particles into smaller fragments.
- The body clears it: your immune system processes and removes the fragments naturally over time.
- The tattoo fades: with each session, more ink is broken down and eliminated.
Is laser tattoo removal right for you?
Most people can benefit from this treatment. It is suitable for:
- Anyone with an unwanted tattoo they wish to fade or remove completely
- Tattoos of any colour or size
- People planning a cover-up tattoo who need the current one faded first
- Those with realistic expectations about the time and number of sessions required
Is laser tattoo removal safe for your skin?
Laser tattoo removal is FDA-approved and performed by trained professionals. The procedure is designed to minimise discomfort and protect the surrounding skin. Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur, but these usually settle quickly.

Depending on the size of the tattoo, a session may be very quick (under five minutes) or quite long. For a large tattoo, the area is numbed with a topical anaesthetic first.
Most people need on average 3–10 treatments, performed about every 6 weeks, though occasionally more are needed. There is no fixed number of treatments, only a recommendation, and not every tattoo can be removed completely, even with 10 or more sessions.

Frequently asked questions about laser tattoo removal
Laser tattoo removal uses concentrated light energy to break down tattoo ink particles in the skin. Over time, the body’s immune system flushes these particles out.
The sensation varies and is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Numbing creams or cooling devices are used to minimise discomfort.
It depends on the tattoo’s size, ink colours and age, and on your skin type. On average, 6–12 sessions may be required.
Darker colours such as black and blue are easier to remove, while lighter colours such as yellow, green and white can be more challenging.
Common side effects include redness, swelling and mild blistering, which usually subside within a few days. Scarring is rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified professional.
Yes. Modern lasers can treat a range of skin tones, but darker skin may need specialised settings to avoid pigmentation changes.
A session typically lasts 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
Yes, but avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for a day or two after the treatment.
