Laser Tattoo Removal
PERMANENT MAKEUP & BODY TATTOO
Are you ready to say goodbye to your unwanted tattoo?
Laser tattoo removal selectively targets tattoo ink with light energy in the form of a laser. The beam breaks down large particles of ink into smaller ink particles, that can be more easily cleared away by the body’s lymphatic system.

FAQs
How does laser tattoo removal work?
When you get a tattoo, ink is injected into the dermis. In the days following, you may notice the tattoo naturally fades as a result of ink escaping through the surface of the skin, or being cleared away by the body’s natural response to a foreign substance. The final tattoo is made up of ink pigment which is too deep to have escaped through the surface of the skin, and too large to have been removed by the body.
Laser tattoo removal selectively targets tattoo ink with light energy in the form of a laser. The beam breaks down large particles of ink into smaller ink particles, that can be more easily cleared away by the body’s immune system.
Can a tattoo be removed completely?
Yes, complete tattoo removal is possible. The amount of sessions required will of course differ from client to client.
How many sessions are required?
It completely depends on individual skin tissue and anatomy.
After consultation, we will create an estimated treatment plan for you.
Can you remove Cosmetic Tattoos on the face?
Yes, absolutely!
Can I have this done while pregnant and/or nursing?
No, you cannot.

HEALING PROCESS
During the healing stage, you can expect to see the pigment become darker or lighter. It maybe become darker before it gets lighter, but in general you will see a reduction in the shade of the ink. Different colours may also appear in the skin during the healing stage. Some parts of the tattoo may fade more than others. This is all normal and to be expected.
