Laser Tattoo Removal

Safe, advanced technology to fade unwanted tattoos

What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is an advanced treatment that uses highly targeted light energy to break down tattoo pigment within the skin. The laser energy is selectively absorbed by the ink, fragmenting it into tiny particles that are gradually cleared by the body’s natural lymphatic system.

Modern Q-switched laser technology delivers powerful energy in extremely short pulses, helping to protect the surrounding skin while targeting the tattoo pigment. Treatments are typically quick, and comfort options can be discussed during your appointment.

Why Clients Choose Tattoo Removal

People seek tattoo removal for many reasons, including:

At Envisage Cosmetic Clinic, treatments are tailored individually following a professional consultation.

What Results Can Be Expected?

Laser treatment can significantly fade many tattoos and in some cases remove them completely. Outcomes depend on multiple factors including:

  • Tattoo colour and ink composition
  • Depth and density of pigment
  • Tattoo age
  • Skin type
  • Individual healing response

Black pigments usually respond most effectively, while some colours (such as yellow or certain greens) may be more resistant.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Because every tattoo is different, the exact number of sessions cannot be predicted in advance.

As a general guide:

  • Most professional tattoos require approximately 6–12 sessions
  • Treatments are spaced at least 6 weeks apart
  • Continued fading may occur for months after each session

Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed during consultation.

Can All Tattoos Be Treated?

Most tattoos can be treated for removal or lightening.

Common responses:

✓ Black, blue and red pigments typically respond well

✓ Multi-coloured tattoos can often be treated progressively

✓ Some colours may only partially fade

✗ White pigments generally do not respond to laser treatment

Comfort, Safety & Aftercare

Modern laser systems are designed to minimise skin damage while targeting pigment.

Important considerations:

  • Numbing cream may be used if suitable
  • The risk of scarring is low but cannot be completely eliminated
  • Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing
  • Results vary between individuals

When Can Removal Begin After Getting a Tattoo?

Laser removal can begin once the tattoo has fully healed.

Although tattoos may look healed within weeks, a minimum of 6 weeks is usually required before treatment.

Consultations can be performed earlier to plan your treatment safely.

Can the Area Be Tattooed Again?

Yes. Once the skin has healed following removal or fading, the area can usually be re-tattooed if desired. Many clients choose removal specifically to allow for a new design.

Treatment Cost

Pricing varies depending on:

  • Tattoo size
  • Colour complexity
  • Treatment time required
