Your skin will ‘frost’ (turn pale white) during the treatment, but this should disappear after 20 minutes. You may also experience superficial blistering and scabbing, swelling, itching, and some discomfort. If you pick scabs or blisters, you can increase the risk of infection. Some people experience permanent scarring, and temporary darkening or lightening of their skin’s colour. If you are concerned, ask your technician before you book your tattoo removal appointment.

Not always. Some colours don’t break up as easily as others, so it’s fairly normal to see some ink remain in your skin.

Tattoo removal is often described as feeling similar to a rubber band snap against the skin. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to manage discomfort. Cold air devices are also used during treatment to reduce the sensation.

Tattoos are created by inserting and trapping ink particles into the deep layers of the skin using a needle. When special laser light is directed to the tattoo area, it safely breaks up the original ink particles within a few minutes. These are ten safely absorbed into the bloodstream and removed from the body. Tattoo removal is a gradual process: it’ll probably take several sessions to completely remove a tattoo.

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for significant fading or complete removal, spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal between treatments. Variables include ink colour, tattoo age, depth, size, and skin type. Amateur tattoos typically remove faster than professional ones.

It varies, and depends on the age of the tattoo, its type, size, colour and location. It should take between 6-8 tattoo removal treatments to completely remove a tattoo, but it can take more.
