Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Gold Coast
Say Goodbye to Unwanted Cosmetic Ink
Cosmetic tattoos are meant to enhance your natural features – but sometimes, they don’t go to plan. Whether you’re dealing with faded brows or lip tint that’s lost its colour, we’re here to help. Our tattoo removal clinic in Southport on the Gold Coast offers advanced facial tattoo removal for clients who want a clean slate.
Our certified specialists use the latest medical-grade laser technology to remove unwanted semi-permanent makeup with precision and care. From eyebrow tattoo correction to lip tint fading, we create safe, results-driven treatment plans backed by experience, transparency, and support from day one.
What We Treat
Cosmetic tattoos (or PMU tattoos) require a different approach to traditional body ink. They sit more superficially and often contain pigments like iron oxide, which can change colour as they fade. Our tea uses PicoWay® laser technology to safely remove a range of pigment types across the most sensitive areas of the face.
We treat:
- Eyebrow tattoos – including microblading, ombré brows and powder fill
- Lip tattoos – full-lip pigment and lip lines
- Beauty spots and freckle tattoos
- Scalp micropigmentation (SMP)
We also offer cosmetic tattoo lightening for clients preparing for a brow correction or updated PMU design.
Not sure what was used in your original treatment? We’ll assess your pigment type, placement, and depth during your consultation to determine the best approach.

Trusted Gold Coast Clinic
Our clinic is conveniently located in Southport and serves clients across the Gold Coast region. As a local, independent provider, you’ll receive consistent care from a permanent team, not a rotating list of practitioners.
What to Expect
Your cosmetic tattoo removal journey begins with a free consultation, which can be conducted in person at our Gold Coast clinic or online from your home.
During your assessment, we’ll evaluate:
- Your tattoo’s colour, size, age, and ink type
- Your skin tone and medical history
- Your goals (e.g. complete removal vs. fading for reqork)
- The number of laser sessions required
Because every skin and pigment type responds differently to laser tattoo removal, your plan is adjusted for maximum clearance while reducing potential irritation or skin disruption.
Most clients need 6-8 treatments, about 6-8 weeks apart. We’ll use cooling to keep you comfortable, and provide step-by-step aftercare to support your healing.
We treat all Fitzpatrick skin types, and for sensitive procedures like eyebrows, we use eye shields to protect the eyes during the treatment.
Start Fresh with Confidence
You don’t have to live with a cosmetic tattoo that no longer suits you. Whether you’re starting over, correcting a previous treatment, or simply ready for a change, we’re here to help – with expert support, cutting-edge technology, and pricing that’s as clear as your results.

Cosmetic Tattoo Removal FAQs
Cosmetic tattoos typically use mineral-based pigments that respond differently to laser. They’re also located on more sensitive areas of the face, which is why experience and the right laser matter when choosing a tattoo removal clinic.
Yes. Microblading removal is one of our most requested services. In most cases, the pigment can be fully cleared without residual scarring or shadowing.
You may feel a light snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band. This varies based on the treatment area and ink depth. We use numbing cream and cooling devices to make the process more comfortable. With our advanced laser technology, most clients find cosmetic tattoo removal more tolerable than traditional laser tattoo removal. We’ll also walk you through what to expect regarding sensitivity and common side effects, like temporary redness, swelling, or skin lightening.
This is due to iron oxide pigments breaking down, which is common and temporary. We’ll explain what to expect based on your ink and skin type.
