Tattoo Removal Prices Per Session
Tattoo removal takes minimum 1 to 3 sessions to remove, or to lighten significantly if you’re planning a cover up tattoo. 6 weeks between sessions.

Scarring, hyper-pigmentation and hypo-pigmentatio after removal is a definite risk. The nature and extent of which will depend on a number of possible factors, including the ink used, depth of ink, and technique used in the original tattoo, your skin type, tone and healing ability.
Aftercare
Aftercare plays a vital role in healing and minimizing the risk of infection and scarring.
We provide you with necessary aftercare products, and clear instructions, to ensure fast healthy healing.
Tattoo Removal Patch Test
If you have any concerns about how you may heal, hyper-pigment or hypo-pigment, then please arrange a patch test.

Opting for Tattoo Removal regardless of the method, is a huge decision to make. It's either live with the tattoo, or accept that you may be left with some reminder such as, hyperpigmentation (skin heals darker) or hypopigmentation (skin heals lighter) as a permanent reminder.
The re-pigmentation of the scar to your natural skin tone can take 12 months plus.
Your end result cannot be guaranteed, nor predicted, because skin types and skin healing after tattoo removal vary so vastly.
Some people scar lighter than their natural tone (Hypo-pigmentation), and others much darker (Hyper-pigmentation). If you’re prone to keloid scars, there is always a possibility you might keloid.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why Picosecond Laser Tattoo Removal?
Our latest model Picosecond Laser is the gold-standard in tattoo removal.
Can all colour inks be removed from my tattoo
The Picosecond can remove most colours successfully, and significantly lighten colours that previously could not be removed. Certain other laser machines can remove only black and dark blue inks.
How many sessions will I need?
There are a number of factors that determine how many sessions may be required. The size of the tattoo, type of ink used, how deep the ink has been implanted into the skin, how dense the ink is in places, large tattoos wil be removed in sections to ensure aftercare and healing is manageable, and to minimize risks of infection and scarring.
Will I see a change in my tattoo after the 1st treatment?
You will see the areas that respond well, after a full 6 weeks of skin healing, after the 1st treatment. It depends on your skin, the method and substance used to create the tattoo, and your aftercare. We can generally assess, after the 1st session, how many more sessions it may take to remove.
How soon can I have my 2nd treatment?
6 weeks from date of 1st treatment, which allows the skin to recover, and allows us to fully assess the remaining ink.
Can I remove just part of my tattoo?
We can focus on a specific section of your tattoo and remove or lighten if you intend a cover up.
Will I have a scar after my tattoo is removed?
When any scabbing has completely fallen off you may have some redness, or slightly be slightly inflamed. It may take 6 – 24 months for your skin to re-pigment itself.
It is imperative that you follow aftercare instructions carefully. By applying the provided aftercare products as instructed, your healing to normal skin will happen so much faster, and will ensure you are ready for a follow up session after 6 weeks.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
We topically anaesthetize your skin before the procedure. However, some people may remain a little sensitive in areas, and often where the ink is more saturated. Should you feel it in places, it’s like an elastic band flick onto the skin. If you managed the tattoo, you’ll manage removal.
Can laser remove permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is applied very shallow into the skin, and yes, can be removed very successfully with our Picosecond Laser.
