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.

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.

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.

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.
