No explanation required. Just results.
Tattoo ink sits in the dermis (the structural skin beneath the surface), trapped inside cells that the body cannot clear on its own. Laser tattoo removal works by shattering those ink particles into fragments small enough for the lymphatic system to eliminate.
Whether the tattoo reflects a past chapter or a change in direction, removal is a personal decision. No explanation necessary.
How It Works
Specific laser wavelengths are matched to specific ink colours. The laser delivers energy absorbed by the ink, fragmenting it while preserving surrounding tissue. The body then gradually clears the fragments over the following weeks.
Different colours require different wavelengths, which is why multi-wavelength platforms produce the best results across diverse tattoos.
What Affects Results
Ink colour (black and dark blue respond fastest; greens, yellows, and whites are most resistant), ink depth, ink density, tattoo age, location on the body, and skin type.
Professional tattoos typically require more sessions than amateur tattoos due to greater ink density and depth. Tattoos on extremities tend to fade more slowly than those on the torso due to reduced circulation.
A multi-wavelength laser platform capable of targeting a broad range of ink colors, including difficult greens and blues that single-wavelength systems often struggle with. Each wavelength is calibrated to match the specific ink being treated, which is why consultation includes assessment of your tattoo's colours and depth. Safe across all skin types when properly calibrated.

Temporary redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding immediately after treatment are normal. Blistering or crusting during healing can occur. Sun exposure before and after treatment increases the risk of pigmentation changes. Tattoos with white or flesh-toned ink should be disclosed before treatment, as certain pigments can darken with laser exposure.
Tattoo removal is not a single event. Each session clears a portion of the ink, and the body requires time between sessions to process and eliminate the fragments. Rushing the interval does not accelerate results and can increase the risk of tissue damage.
Colour composition determines complexity. A single black tattoo may clear in fewer sessions than a multicolored piece requiring multiple wavelengths across different passes. Skin type matters as well. Higher Fitzpatrick types require careful energy calibration to avoid pigmentation changes. The settings must be adjusted for each patient, not just each tattoo.
Black and dark blue respond fastest. Greens, yellows, and whites are the most resistant. Multi-wavelength lasers address the widest range of colours.
Most tattoos require six to twelve sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart. Fading is progressive. Your clinician will estimate a range at consultation.
When performed properly, laser tattoo removal carries a low risk of scarring. The laser targets ink without destroying surrounding tissue.
Yes. Selective removal or fading for a cover-up is common.
Yes, but wavelength and energy settings must be carefully calibrated to protect the surrounding skin from pigmentation changes.
