TATTOO REMOVAL

Safe, effective laser removal — tailored to your skin and your tattoo.

03 treatments
01 Small Area
7.5 x 7.5 cm

Perfect for smaller tattoos like finger, wrist, or ankle pieces. Targeted laser energy breaks down the ink with precision, with minimal disruption to the surrounding skin.

This treatment covers tattoos up to 7.5 x 7.5 cm — ideal for small, defined pieces. We use advanced laser technology that targets ink pigment specifically, shattering it into tiny particles that your body then clears away naturally over the following weeks.

Each session builds on the last, gradually fading the tattoo with each pass. The number of sessions needed depends on the ink colours, depth, age of the tattoo, and your skin type. We'll assess all of this at your first appointment and give you a realistic treatment plan.

Results you'll notice:

  • Progressive fading after each session
  • Targeted treatment with minimal impact on surrounding skin
  • Cleaner, clearer skin as the ink breaks down over time

Best for:

  • Small tattoos on the wrist, finger, ankle, or neck.
  • Fine line or minimalist tattoos.
  • Those wanting a subtle, contained treatment area.
  • First-timers wanting to start with a smaller area.

02 Targeted
Eyebrow Tattoo

Remove or lighten old cosmetic brow tattoos — including microblading and powder brows. A precise, careful approach designed specifically for the delicate brow area.

Cosmetic tattoo removal around the brow area requires extra care and precision given how close the treatment sits to the eyes. We use targeted laser settings suited to the finer pigments used in permanent makeup, including microblading, ombre brows, and powder brows.

This treatment is popular for clients looking to fully remove an old brow tattoo, correct shape or colour that has changed over time, or fade existing pigment before having a fresh treatment applied. Protective eyewear is worn throughout every session.

Results you'll notice:

  • Gradual fading of cosmetic brow pigment session by session
  • Improved shape and symmetry as unwanted pigment clears
  • A cleaner canvas for a fresh brow treatment if desired

Best for:

  • Old or faded brow tattoos that have changed colour.
  • Asymmetrical or misshapen permanent brows.
  • Those wanting to correct cosmetic tattooing gone wrong.
  • Anyone preparing for a fresh brow treatment.

TATTOO REMOVAL

Frequently Asked Questions

How does tattoo removal work?

Tattoo removal uses advanced laser technology to break down ink particles in the skin. Over time, your body naturally clears these particles, causing the tattoo to fade.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on:

  • tattoo size
  • ink colours
  • depth of ink
  • skin type

Most clients need multiple sessions for best results.

Does tattoo removal hurt?

You may feel a snapping or tingling sensation during treatment. Most clients find it manageable, and numbing options can help improve comfort.

How long does each session take?

Treatment time varies based on the size of the tattoo. Small tattoos may take just a few minutes, while larger ones can take longer.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on the individual and area treated. Regular maintenance helps prolong results.

When will I see results?

You may start to notice results within a few days, with full results visible in 7 to 14 days.

Will my face look frozen?

No, when done correctly, results look natural and balanced. The goal is to soften lines while maintaining your natural facial expressions.

How long is the recovery time?

There is minimal downtime. You may experience:

  • redness
  • slight swelling
  • sensitivity

These usually settle within a few days.

Will my tattoo be completely removed?

Many tattoos can be significantly faded or fully removed, but results vary depending on the ink and skin. Some colours may be more resistant than others.

Is tattoo removal safe?

Yes, when performed by trained professionals using advanced technology, it is a safe and effective procedure.

Can all tattoo colours be removed?

Most colours can be treated, but darker inks like black respond best. Lighter colours may require more sessions.

How long should I wait between sessions?

Sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and your body to process the ink.

Can I remove part of a tattoo?

Yes, selective removal is possible. This is often done for tattoo correction or cover-ups.

What should I avoid after treatment?

After your session, avoid:

  • direct sun exposure
  • hot showers or saunas
  • picking or scratching the area

Follow aftercare advice for best results.

When will I see results?

Fading happens gradually over several weeks after each session. Results improve with each treatment.
