Understanding Laser Tattoo Removal
works by directing ultra-short, concentrated pulses of light energy at the tattoo ink. This energy shatters the large ink particles into tiny fragments. Once shattered, the body’s lymphatic system naturally recognizes these fragments as foreign and clears them away over a period of several weeks. With each session, more ink is fragmented and cleared, causing the tattoo to progressively fade until it is no longer visible.
We use advanced Picosecond (Pico) laser technology, which is a significant leap forward from older Nanosecond (Q-switched) lasers. Pico lasers deliver energy in trillionths of a second, creating a powerful photo-acoustic effect that shatters ink more effectively and with less heat, resulting in:
- Fewer Sessions: Faster clearance compared to older lasers.
- Better Results on Stubborn Colours: Highly effective on difficult colours like blues and greens.
- Increased Safety: Less risk of thermal damage to the surrounding skin.

First-Line Treatments

Pico Laser Tattoo Removal
This is the gold standard and primary treatment for removing unwanted tattoos. The procedure involves passing the laser handpiece over the tattoo, delivering rapid pulses of light energy to shatter the ink particles. The area is cooled during treatment to ensure comfort.
Ideal for
All unwanted professional and amateur tattoos, including black, coloured, and semi-permanent makeup like microblading. It is safe for all skin types
Results
The tattoo will fade progressively with each session. The number of sessions required depends on the tattoo’s size, age, colour, density, and location, but typically ranges from 6 to 12+ sessions
Management
Sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow the body to clear the shattered ink particles. After each treatment, the area will be red and feel like a mild sunburn. A healing ointment and dressing will be applied, and you must protect the area from the sun.

This is one of the most common questions and it varies greatly. On average, 6-12 sessions are needed. Factors include the tattoo’s age, size, ink colours (black is easiest, light colours are harder), ink density, and your body’s immune response.
The risk of scarring with modern Pico lasers is very low when performed by a trained professional and when aftercare instructions are followed correctly. The laser targets the ink, not the surrounding skin, minimising the risk of textural changes.
Yes, modern Pico lasers with multiple wavelengths can effectively target and remove the full spectrum of tattoo colours. Stubborn colours like blue, green, and purple, which were difficult for older lasers, can now be cleared effectively.
