Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a safe, effective, and precise way to fade unwanted ink. Whether you are preparing for a cover-up or want to restore your skin to a blank canvas, our Cosjet ND:YAG laser targets pigment particles, breaking them down into smaller fragments that your body can naturally metabolise over time.

This treatment is designed to be gentle yet results-driven. Each session is carefully controlled to protect your skin, reduce any potential damage to the skins surface, and deliver gradual, noticeable fading. The number of sessions required depends on several factors including tattoo size, ink colour, depth, age, and your skin type. All of these will be discussed during your consultation. WE use cryotherapy throughout the treatment to help with pain management and the skins healing response, you may also choose to use numbing cream is to make the procedure more comfortable however please first discuss this with us.

How It Works
The Cosjet laser delivers short pulses of high-intensity light to the tattooed area, shattering the ink and breaking it into much smaller particles. Tattoos ink particles are normally too dense for the body to metabolise, hence making them permanent. This controlled action of the laser signals your body to activate its natural repair and immune response which signals to your white blood cells to head over to the controlled injury (your tattoo).

Once the pigment is shattered and the white blood cells are recruited to the area, these cells work to engulf and remove the tiny pigment particles through your lymphatic system. Some pigment is removed immediately, while other particles are cleared gradually over days to weeks. This is why multiple sessions are needed to achieve full fading.

The mild redness, swelling, or frosting that can appear after treatment is a normal part of this immune activation. Your skin’s natural response is what allows the ink to fade safely while protecting surrounding tissue.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your session will start with a consultation and skin assessment. Here we will discuss your goals and determine wether Laser Tattoo Removal is right for you. You will fill in some forms, we will have a chat and also preform test shots. Whilst you may be a candidate on paper, the truest way for us to know is by testing the laser on your skin. No treatment will be preformed without a consultation.

During treatment, you may feel a mild snapping sensation or warmth as the laser passes over your skin. Each persons pain tolerance is different and the location, ink density and other factors come into play when it comes to pain levels however most people liken it the feeling of a hot rubber band flick. The procedure is quick and precise, with most sessions only lasting minutes depending on the size of the tattoo.

Immediately after treatment, mild redness, swelling, or frosting is normal and usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. You may bruising or itching over the coming days.

Aftercare and Recovery

• Keep the treated area clean and dry

• Ice every hour for ten minutes for the rest of the day, or until there is no heat in the skin to the touch in the next hour cycle.

• Avoid direct sunlight

• Apply sunscreen once healed

• You may use gentle creams moisturisers to support healing

• No activities that elevate body temperature e.g exercise, spas saunas (timelines will be discussed during consultation)

Expected Results
Most tattoos require multiple sessions spaced at a minimum, 8 weeks apart to allow your body to process and clear the pigment. Results are cumulative, and each session typically lightens the tattoo further. While complete removal is possible for many tattoos, some older or more complex tattoos may leave a slight shadow. We will discuss expectation management with you.
