How does the laser work?
Laser Tattoo Removal Overview
What is laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a highly effective method for removing unwanted tattoos using a medical-grade Q-Switched N:D YAG laser. This
technique involves:
-
High-Powered Laser Light: Produces a rapid beam that penetrates the skin without heating it, targeting tattoo ink particles.
-
Ink Breakdown: The laser light is absorbed by the ink, breaking it down into smaller particles.
-
Natural Elimination: The body's immune system recognises these particles as foreign and removes them over time.
Treatment Details
Session Duration
-
Session Length: 5 minutes to 1 hour, depending on tattoo size.
-
Frequency: Treatments are scheduled no closer than 6 weeks apart.
Number of Sessions Required
-
Indian Ink Amateur Tattoos: Typically 3 to 5 sessions.
-
Coloured Tattoos: Usually require 8 to 12 sessions at 12-week intervals.
Pain Level
-
Minor pain may occur during the session, often described as similar to a rubber band snap.
Aftereffects of Treatment

Blistering: May occur as a protective response; avoid popping blisters.
-
Skin Texture Changes: Mild changes can happen as the skin heals.
Treatment Procedure
-
Preparation: Protective eye shields are provided, and the skin is cleaned.
