TATTOO REMOVAL

How does Tattoo Removal Work?

Our advanced PicoWay® lasers utilise high-speed, high-intensity acoustic light to target tattoo ink. This process shatters the ink into smaller particles that are naturally removed by your body’s immune system. Over multiple sessions, typically ranging from 4 to 12 sessions, your tattoo gradually fades, bringing you closer to clear skin.

PICOWAY LASER TECHNOLOGY

How does it work?

To remove the tattoo our state-of-the-art PicoWay® lasers shoot high-speed, and high intensity acoustic light through the top layer of skin, directly hitting the larger pigments of ink, shattering the ink into smaller particles. The immune system then removes the shattered ink particles causing the tattoos to fade and eventually disappear.

A number of sessions are required to achieve complete tattoo removal. This varies with the range of colours in the tattoo, your skin type and where it is located on your body.  But don’t worry, our app works all that out for you.  The interval between sessions generally is about 6 weeks but can increase depending on an individual’s skin and other medical conditions. Again, SWIPE work’s that all out for you.

The total number of sessions typically range from 4 to 12 sessions.  With each session your tattoo fades and brings you closer to your skin freedom.

Looking to upgrade your ink?

Looking to upgrade your ink.  Laser removal isn’t just for complete removal. It’s also perfect for preparing your skin to make space for a new tattoo. Typically, three to five sessions can lighten the tattoo enough for a new design. We collaborate with your tattoo artist to ensure the best results.

Questions you may have

Tattoo removal works by using laser technology to break down the ink particles in the tattoo. The laser emits short pulses of high-intensity light that target the pigment in the tattoo ink. This light energy is absorbed by the ink, causing it to fragment into smaller particles. Over time, the body’s immune system naturally processes these smaller ink particles, gradually fading the tattoo with each session. The number of sessions required depends on factors like the size, colour, and age of the tattoo.

The cost of laser tattoo removal varies based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the tattoo, the number of sessions needed, and the location of the tattoo. For a small tattoo you can expect to pay from as little as $49 per session.  We also offer a weekly fee payment plan after the initial treatment starting from $4.49 a week.  To find out download our app and find out in 3 minutes how much it will cost to remove your tattoo.

We can remove a wide range of tattoo types, including professional, amateur, and cosmetic tattoos. Our advanced laser technology is effective on tattoos of various colours, including black, red, blue, green, and more. However, some ink colours, like yellow and white, can  more challenging to remove and may require additional sessions. During your consultation, we will assess your tattoo and provide guidance on the expected outcomes.

Many describe the sensation as similar to having a rubber band snapped against the skin. To minimise discomfort, we offer numbing creams and cooling devices during the procedure. Pain management options can be discussed during your consultation to ensure you have a comfortable experience.

We use state-of-the-art Q-switched lasers for tattoo removal. These lasers are specifically designed for breaking down tattoo ink while minimising damage to the surrounding skin. The Q-switched laser emits rapid pulses of light energy that target the tattoo pigment, making it effective for removing tattoos of various colours and sizes. Our technology is safe, efficient, and suitable for all skin types.
