Black ink responds best to laser removal and is typically cleared most effectively. Browse and book the best laser tattoo removal clinics near you on Fresha.

Tattoo removal uses laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles in the skin, allowing the body's immune system to gradually clear them. Q-switched and picosecond lasers are the most effective technologies. Multiple sessions are required as ink is cleared progressively over several months.

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.

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.
