Laser Tattoo Removal

It can take up to 8 months to two years to remove your tattoo as treatments are done with gaps of 8 weeks between appointments. The time frame varies for each client and their tattoo, as different factors such as ink type and colour, skin type, and age and location of the tattoo play a role.

We usually recommend 6-8 treatments for laser tattoo removal but this can depend on the ink colours and depth of ink that has been used for your tattoo. If you have a new tattoo, you must wait a minimum of 3 months before booking a consultation and patch test.

At your laser tattoo consultation, your technician will be able to give you a better indication of how many treatments you personally need and answer any other questions you may have about laser tattoo removal.

Everyone has a different pain threshold however we will patch test in the consultation and if you find it too uncomfortable we recommend using a numbing cream on the tattoo wrapped in clinic film for at least 30 minutes before your arrival for treatment.

Clients often describe PicoSure/ PicoWay tattoo removal treatments like ‘being pinged with an elastic band’, but this varies from person to person.

The PicoSure laser is only suitable for lighter skin types. The PicoSure works very well on black, blue, green and purple inks

The PicoWay laser is suitable for all skin types on black ink.
On very light skin types we can use the PicoWay for red, orange inks.

The area must be protected with an application of ointment and gauze for the first 48 hours, and then protected from sun exposure to prevent changes in pigmentation between treatments.

This can vary from person to person depending on the skin type and depth of the ink.
The pastel colours can be tough to remove as they are mixed with white ink which reflects the laser light.

Utilising advanced laser technology for tattoo eradication, laser tattoo removal precisely directs concentrated laser beams into the tattoo ink, fragmenting it into minuscule particles. These microscopic fragments are then effortlessly metabolised by the body, facilitating natural ink elimination without inflicting damage upon the surrounding skin—distinctively superior to alternative methods of tattoo removal.

While conventional laser systems have been in use for a considerable period, innovative platforms like PicoSure and PicoWay represent a monumental leap in laser tattoo removal techniques. These state-of-the-art lasers optimise ink disintegration efficiency, offering a remarkably effective and skin-safe solution for those seeking to erase their tattoos.

The duration of laser tattoo removal varies based on factors like tattoo size, ink colour, and laser type. Typically, 6-12 sessions, each lasting minutes to an hour, are required. Advanced lasers like PicoSure and PicoWay may expedite the process. Consult a qualified practitioner at Pulse Light Clinic for a tailored assessment.
