How It Works
- The laser light targets and is absorbed by the tattoo pigment.
- The pigment shatters into smaller particles.
- The body’s natural processes remove those particles over time.
- Repeated sessions gradually fade the tattoo until it is barely visible or completely gone.
What It Feels Like
- Most people describe it as a mild snapping or tingling sensation, similar to a rubber band flicking the skin.
- We apply numbing cream before treatment to reduce discomfort.
- After each session, the skin may feel warm or pink for a short time, similar to mild sun exposure.
Safety and Side Effects
- Treatments are performed by trained professionals in a licensed clinic.
- Temporary redness, slight swelling, or small scabs are normal and clear within a few days.
- We always perform a patch test before treatment and adjust laser settings to match your skin type and tattoo colour.
