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.

We only use state-of-the-art Pico lasers.  To remove the tattoo our 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.

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 smaller tattoo you can expect to pay from as little as $99 per session.  We offer flexible payment options including a weekly, interest free  payment plan after the initial treatment starting from $8.25 a week.

The tattoo removal process varies depending on several factors, including the size, colour, and age of the tattoo, as well as your skin type and how your body responds to the laser treatments. Generally, each laser tattoo removal session lasts between 10 to 30 minutes.

However, multiple sessions are required to achieve complete removal or significant fading. On average, most tattoos require 6 to 12 sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart, to allow the skin to heal and the body to process the ink particles.

The overall duration of the tattoo removal process can range from several months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the tattoo and your response to the treatments.

Tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, but the level of pain varies from person to person. 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.
