Our state of the art Picosecond laser uses ultrashort pulses (trillionths of a second) to hit tattoo ink with high pressure, breaking the ink up into minute particles. Because the particles are then very small, they are then more easily absorbed and eliminated by the body. It is a quick and easy non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment for the body and deemed the industry bench-mark for achieving the best removal results on all types of tattoos.

A consultation is the first step in your journey. During this consultation, our specialists will examine your tattoo, discuss your objectives, and walk you through the laser tattoo removal procedure. They will assess elements like: The size, color, and location of your tattoo. Tattoos vary a lot in terms of colour, depth and age, as well as many other factors which can all effect success, healing and suitability, so a consultation is always needed before treatment begins. Once you have had your consultation we will conduct a small patch test Consultations take around 30 minutes and cost £20 which is refundable from your first session

Treatment prices range from £50 to £175 per session, depending on the tattoo’s size, type, and colours used. A full estimate will be provided during your consultation and test patch appointment. The consultation and test patch take approximately 30 minutes and cost £20, which is deducted from the price of your first treatment session.

The number of sessions required will depend on your individual tattoo and your desired outcome (complete removal or preparation for a cover-up). Treatment can require as few as 2–3 sessions; however, in some cases, 6 or more sessions may be necessary. It is important to set realistic expectations, as tattoo removal is a gradual process. Sessions are scheduled at a minimum interval of 6–8 weeks to allow the skin adequate time to heal. Tattoo removal is a long-term commitment, and patience is essential to achieving the best possible results.

Waiting at least 6-8 weeks between sessions is recommended to allow for proper healing and reduce the risk of scarring. This time allows the skin to heal and the body to flush away broken down ink particles. It is important to remember that everyone is different and some people will naturally heal faster than others

Complete removal is possible in many cases; however, results cannot be guaranteed. While modern laser technology can produce excellent outcomes, several factors influence the final result, including: • Age of the tattoo • Application method • Type of ink used • Depth and density of pigment • Tattoo location • Skin type • Individual healing response A patch test is always required before beginning a full course of treatment. This allows us to assess how your skin responds and identify any potential complications.

Treatment sessions typically last between 10 and 35 minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo. Longer sessions are not recommended, as they may cause unnecessary trauma to the skin. Larger tattoos are treated in multiple sittings, spaced appropriately to support safe healing.

Certain medical conditions and medications may make laser treatment unsuitable or unsafe. Patients Who Should Not Be Treated: • Pregnancy or attempting to become pregnant • Breastfeeding • Chemotherapy within the last 6 months • Use of Accutane or Tretinoin (Retin-A) within the last 6 months • Type I Diabetes • Bleeding disorders • Immune system disorders • Active infections or inflammatory skin conditions at the treatment site • Tanned or sunburned skin in the treatment area • Thrombocytopenia • Peripheral vascular disease • Anaemia • Rheumatoid arthritis (including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) • Chronic diseases (e.g., Crohn’s disease, IBD) • Acute or chronic renal failure • Malignancy • Multiple sclerosis • Epilepsy (due to potential sensitivity to repeated flashes) • Collagen vascular diseases • Use of St John’s Wort within the past 3 months • Hair removal treatments (waxing, plucking, sugaring, threading) in the treatment area within the previous 4–6 weeks • Surgical metal pins or plates beneath the treatment area • Pacemaker use • Use of topical medications or products that may cause photosensitivity (e.g., hydrocortisone, perfumes, deodorants, oils, sunblock) Some conditions may only temporarily prevent treatment and will be discussed in detail during your consultation. Patients Requiring Additional Precautions: • History of allergic reaction to tattoo ink (particularly red ink) • Darker skin types (due to increased risk of pigmentation changes) • History of keloid scarring • History of hypo- or hyperpigmentation • Current antibiotic use (may increase light sensitivity) Clients with chronic health conditions or older clients may require longer healing periods between sessions. We are not registered to treat individuals under 18 years of age. We will not treat recently sun-tanned skin.

Laser treatment does involve some discomfort. Many clients describe the sensation as similar to the skin being “pinged” with an elastic band. Certain areas of the body, such as the ankles or shoulder blades, may be more sensitive. Some mild discomfort in the treated area afterwards is normal. Encouragingly, discomfort often decreases as the tattoo fades over the course of treatment.

Scarring is very uncommon. There is a reported 5% risk of scarring following tattoo removal treatments, most often associated with poor aftercare. The laser used in our studio is specifically designed for tattoo removal and reduction. Its low pulse width technology helps to minimise the risk of scarring when treatments are carried out correctly and aftercare instructions are carefully followed.

Laser tattoo removal is considered very safe when performed by a trained and qualified practitioner using appropriate safety procedures and protective equipment (including protective eyewear). The radiation emitted by tattoo removal lasers is non-ionising and does not carry a risk of cancer or abnormal cell growth. The procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive.

Most side effects are temporary, mild, and expected. Symptoms usually subside within approximately one week and may include: • Localised swelling and redness – Common and may feel similar to mild sunburn for 1–2 days. • Blistering – Uncommon but part of the normal healing process if it occurs. Blisters should not be picked or scratched. • Infection – As with any skin procedure, there is a small risk of infection. Good hygiene is essential. • Scabbing – If blistering or minor bleeding occurs, scabs may form. It is important not to pick at scabs, as this can cause scarring and interfere with further treatments. • Hypopigmentation – Temporary lightening of the skin. Normal skin tone typically returns within 6–12 months. • Hyperpigmentation – Darkening of the treated area, more common in darker skin types or recently tanned skin. • Sunburn sensitivity – The treated area must be protected with a minimum SPF 25 sunscreen when exposed. • Minor pin-prick bleeding or weeping – This is normal and not a cause for concern. • Allergic reaction – In rare cases, an allergic reaction to released tattoo pigment may occur. You will receive detailed written aftercare instructions during your consultation. It is essential that these instructions are followed carefully. Aftercare for laser removal differs from tattoo aftercare, and following professional guidance will significantly reduce the risk of complications.

Yes. Once the area has fully healed, you may have a new tattoo placed over the treated site. We recommend waiting a minimum of 6 months after your final treatment session before proceeding.
