Tattoo Removal FAQs

Tattoo removal typically involves the use of lasers to break down the ink particles in the skin. The body’s natural processes then eliminate these broken-down particles over time.

The level of pain can vary depending on factors like the size and location of the tattoo. Many people compare the sensation to that of getting a tattoo, though it tends to be quicker.

Darker colours like black and dark blue are generally easier to remove, while lighter colours like yellow and white can be more challenging. Some colours may require specific types of lasers for effective removal.

Results are not immediate. It takes time for the body to flush out the broken-down ink particles. Improvement is typically visible over a few weeks between sessions.

Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, blistering, and scabbing. In rare cases, there may be changes in skin pigmentation or scarring. These side effects are usually temporary.
