Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal involves the laser penetrating deep within the skin, down to the tattoo and breaking the ink up into small particles. Once broken down, the immune system recognises the particles as a waste product and flushes them out of the body’s lymphatic drainage system leaving the tattoo minimally visible or completely gone.
Cosmetic tattoos such as semi-permanent make-up require fewer sessions as the pigment isn’t so deep and concentrated.
We usually recommend 6-10 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart for best results and 4-6 sessions for SPMU Removal. More sessions may be required.
A patch test is required a minimum 48 hrs before the first appointment.
