Before Your Treatment: Essential Preparation for Laser Tattoo Removal
To ensure the best experience and outcomes from your laser tattoo removal treatment, follow these essential steps:
1. Numbing Cream: If you prefer using numbing cream, please apply it generously 30 minutes before your appointment. You’ll need to do this yourself, as our clinicians do not apply numbing creams. Apply a thick layer over the tattooed area and cover it with cling wrap for maximum effect. While numbing creams can reduce discomfort, we don’t generally recommend them as they can limit your ability to provide feedback during treatment. This feedback is essential to help us gauge any sensitivity and adjust the laser settings, reducing the risk of skin trauma.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure: In the weeks leading up to your treatment, keep the tattooed area out of the sun as much as possible. Tanning or sunburn can increase the likelihood of pigmentation changes during removal. Use sunscreen or cover the area if you must be outside.
3. Hydrate and Moisturise: Leading up to your appointment, keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Moisturising the tattooed area daily will also help maintain skin health, though on the day of your session, keep the skin clean and dry.
4. Avoid Certain Medications: Avoid blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin and ibuprofen) and alcohol for at least 48 hours before your treatment, as they can increase bruising and bleeding risks.
Following these steps will help ensure a comfortable and effective treatment. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us before your appointment.

FAQs
Your Questions Answered: Clarity on Your Journey to Clear Skin
The cost depends on the size and detail of the tattoo and the number of sessions you will need. Ask us about our $25 per week total removal package.
How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?
The number of sessions required can vary depending on the size, location, ink depth, and colors of the tattoo. Generally, it could take anywhere from 5 to 17 sessions, but we will provide you with a more personalized estimate during your first consultation.
Is the laser tattoo removal process painful?
Clients typically experience some discomfort, akin to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. However, we use cooling techniques to ease pain and can discuss additional numbing options if you have concerns.
What are the risks of tattoo removal?
Common risks include infection, hypo- or hyperpigmentation, and incomplete removal of the tattoo. We take strict precautions to minimize risks, including using state-of-the-art equipment and maintaining a sterile environment.
How long should I wait between removal sessions?
We generally recommend waiting about 6 to 8 weeks between sessions. This interval allows your skin to heal and your body to flush out ink particles, maximizing the effectiveness of subsequent sessions.
Can you remove all colors of ink?
Most colors can be removed, with black being the easiest to treat. Lighter colors, such as yellows and pastels, are more challenging but not impossible. We evaluate the spectrum of inks in your tattoo and discuss realistic outcomes during your initial assessment.
What should I do to care for my skin after a removal session?
After each session, it is crucial to keep the treated area clean, dry, and protected from the sun. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific case, including recommended products for promoting healing and comfort.
