Laser breaks the tattoo pigment into tiny particles that the body can gradually remove. Over a series of sessions the tattoo fades – whether you want it gone completely or just lightened before a cover-up. We also treat permanent make-up (PMU).
What affects the result?
- Colour: black and dark blue usually respond best, while some colours are harder
- How deep and dense the pigment is
- Size and age of the tattoo
- Skin type and where on the body the tattoo is
We assess your tattoo before starting and give you a realistic picture of the expected course.
Prices by size
Prices are per session and based on size, from small tattoos and PMU (under 7 × 7 cm) to full sleeves. See the price list.
What to expect
The laser gives short, powerful pulses that feel like small stings or a rubber band snapping against the skin. A session takes from around 20 minutes for small tattoos to an hour for a full sleeve. The area is cooled and cared for afterwards.
How many sessions are needed?
Tattoo removal usually requires several sessions several weeks apart, giving the body time to clear the pigment and the skin time to heal. The number varies a lot between tattoos.
Aftercare
The area may turn white, red and swollen, and sometimes get small blisters or scabs. Keep it clean, don't pick, avoid the sun and follow the advice you receive. See also our aftercare advice.
