Frequently Asked Questions

How does permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo laser removal work?

The use of specialised lasers emits targeted wavelengths of light. This high energy light is delivered to the treated area, targeting the pigment or ink, and breaking it down into smaller particles. The body’s immune system will gradually eliminate the particles through its own natural processes.

What are the benefits of permanent makeup or tattoo laser removal:

Laser removal allows for precise targeting of specific areas, making it possible to remove only the unwanted pigments whilst leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This ensures a tailored approach that meets each client’s unique needs.

Time efficiency: Laser removal offers a faster alternative compared to other removal methods. Whilst the number of sessions required may vary depending on various factors, laser removal generally provides quicker results, allowing individuals to achieve their desired outcome sooner.

Safe and effective: Laser technology has advanced significantly, making the removal process safer and more effective. The laser selectively targets the pigment particles without harming the surrounding tissue, minimising the risk of scarring or other adverse effects.

Laser removal provides a safe, efficient, and customisable solution for those seeking to reverse or modify their existing permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoos.

With its precision, non-invasiveness, and minimal discomfort, laser removal offers clients the opportunity to start fresh with a clean canvas.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

It’s non-invasive and most individuals describe the sensation as a slight stinging or warming feeling.  It can be compared to the pain of an elastic band being twanged onto the skin.

How many treatments will tattoo removal require?

The number of laser treatments needed for permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo removal is dependent on several different variables:

The general health and wellbeing of the client.

The type and colour of pigment or ink used.

The size and placement of the tattoo.

Whether it was created by an amateur or professional.

How often will I need treatment?

Dependant on your general health, we advise waiting 6 to 8 weeks between treatments.  This gives the body a chance to absorb the shattered ink particles and eliminate them through the lymphatic system. The healthier you are, the better your immune system will work at clearing the ink from your body.

What are the side effects of laser tattoo removal?

Redness, some mild swelling, and flaking are a normal response of permanent makeup or tattoo removal.

Can I go in the sun after laser tattoo removal?

The treated area should be covered from exposure to the sun for a minimum of 4 weeks. It is also advisable to keep the area out of the sun for 4 weeks prior to treatment.  If you skin is tanned, the laser can’t distinguish between pigment and suntan.
