Laser Tattoo & PMU Removal
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective treatment designed to fade or remove unwanted tattoos and permanent makeup. Using advanced laser technology, concentrated pulses of light target the pigment within the skin, breaking the ink into tiny particles that are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
This treatment can be used on both body tattoos and cosmetic tattoos, including permanent makeup such as eyebrow tattoos, lip blush, and eyeliner.
Over a series of treatments, the tattoo pigment fades progressively, allowing the tattoo to be significantly lightened or removed. The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as the size of the tattoo, the colour of the ink, the depth of pigment, and how long the tattoo has been in the skin.
Laser tattoo removal is also commonly used to lighten tattoos prior to a cover-up or to remove unsatisfactory permanent makeup.
What Can Be Treated
What Can Be Treated
Laser removal can be used for:
- Unwanted or outdated body tattoos
- Tattoo lightening for cover-up work
- Permanent makeup removal (brows, lip blush, eyeliner)
- Incorrect or poorly healed cosmetic tattoos
- Fading pigment for corrective procedures
How Many Treatments Are Needed
Tattoo removal is a gradual process and typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results. Treatments are usually spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body time to break down and remove the pigment.
Some tattoos may fade significantly after only a few sessions, while others may require a longer course depending on the ink type and depth.
Treatment Information
Treatment time: Depends on tattoo size
Downtime: Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur temporarily

A consultation and patch test are required prior to treatment to assess the tattoo and create a personalised treatment plan.
