Laser Tattoo Removal Removes Tattoos Safely & Effectively
Tattoos have become a large part of todays’ culture with people choosing to ink their bodies for many reasons. The problem is, many people tend to outgrow their tattoos as they develop and move through different life stages or simply change their mind.
What seemed like a good idea at the time no longer resonates with your views or lifestyle. Thankfully tattoo removal is available to help remove these unwanted tattoos.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
We use Medical Grade Lasers to safely target your unwanted tattoo with ultra short pulses of amplified light.
These pulses of light are attracted to the pigment in your Tattoo which then breaks up and shatters the ink in your tattoo. These ink particles are then broken into tiny fragments which are engulfed by the bodies immune cells and eliminated through the bodies waste pathways. Ink particles are safely and naturally flushed out of your system causing the ink to disappear.

This process is much safer and less invasive than older, primitive treatments such as excision or salabrasion, which often left people with unsightly scars and extended periods of excessive pain.
Why Use Laser Tattoo Removal?
You can finally say goodbye and move on with your life when you get your unwanted tattoo removed.
You’ll no longer need to cover up your tattoo when you go for an important job interview or a promotion, or special social outings.
What may have been a sentimental thought or artistic trend now holds you back from doing what you want, which simply does not need to be the case any longer.
Booking a treatment of Laser Tattoo Removal provides you with a safe and reliable way to move forward and no longer be reminded of past mistakes and decisions you’d rather forget.
Is Tattoo Removal Right For You?
We use the highest quality Medical Grade Lasers and all of our nurses and therapists are trained and experienced so you can be certain it’s as safe and effective as possible.
However, some lightly pigmented colours such yellow and light hues do not respond as well to the procedure as others so are more difficult to remove.
We will give you a complete assessment of your eligibility and how many sessions we estimate it will take to achieve your desired outcome at your Free initial consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most of our clients undertake an average of 6-12 treatments* to achieve optimal results. While some fading may be apparent after only several sessions*, more treatments are recommended to reach 80% removal of the unwanted tattoo.
Our Medical Grade Lasers have the ability to remove ink containing black, red, and green inks; however, removal of ink colours including yellow and blue may not be as effective.
We use a Medical Grade Laser known as a Q-Switched Alexandrite, the best laser for Tattoo Removal. Named for the crystal that focuses the light, this laser uses Q-Switching to create a high intensity beam in very short pulses. As a result, it produces very precise light on a specific wavelength that can be focused to approx. 0.1 millimetre – as small as a tattoo particle – for precise removal of ink from the dermis. This light breaks down the ink particles and they are then removed by the immune system in a natural process.
The Q-Switched Alexandrite Laser is approved by the American FDA and widely considered the ‘standard of care’ throughout the professional tattoo removal industry.
This can vary depending on your specific tattoo size, age and colour density. Some tattoos will take more sessions than others to effectively remove. We can provide you with an estimate of how many sessions your tattoo will take in your initial consultation and we offer discounts when you purchase treatments in packs.

- Post Treatment
- The area must not receive any sun exposure for a minimum of one month prior to treatment. Following treatment, an SPF30 or greater sunscreen must be used daily to protect the treated area.

- If there is hair where the tattoo is located, please ensure you shave the treatment area the day prior to treatment.
- Immediately after your tattoo has been removed, you should rest and alleviate the treated area.
