Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment

Laser tattoo removal is an advanced treatment designed to completely eliminate tattoos, without leaving scars or unpigmented areas of skin behind.

During a laser tattoo removal treatment, the laser’s high energy light breaks up the tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are gradually absorbed by the skin. Laser tattoo removal may cause slight discomfort, though a local anaesthetic can be used to eliminate the pain.
Following a laser tattoo removal treatment, minor side effects such as red and tender skin may occur; however, these tend to diminish within three to seven days.

How Many Tattoo Removal Sessions Are Needed?
Each tattoo has different characteristics that influence the number of removal sessions necessary. These include:
• Size
• Colour
• Type of ink used
• Whether the tattoo is old or new

The number of sessions needed for laser tattoo removal treatment is primarily determined by the colour of the tattoo. Most tattoos are comprised of different colour families. Some tattoos can require between 15 and 20 treatments before they are completely removed. Turquoise tattoos are some of the most difficult to eliminate because there isn’t a laser that targets the colour effectively.
In most cases, laser tattoo removal takes between six and twelve treatments and can be spread over several months or a few years.
Laser Tattoo Removal Cost.

The average laser tattoo removal cost ranges from £45 (small area per session) to £65 (medium/large area per session). The price is dependent on several factors, including the type, colour and extent of the tattoo. However, a full consultation beforehand will be undertaken, and guidelines given to potential number of sessions that may be needed, but it is not an exact science so fewer or more treatment sessions may be needed.
