Tattoo Removal

Overview

Laser tattoo removal breaks down ink over a series of visits. Complete clearance is not guaranteed, especially with some colours.

What concerns it may be used for

It may be considered for unwanted tattoo ink after assessing colours, depth and skin type.

How it generally works

A clinician uses an appropriate laser. Spacing between sessions is individual. This page does not state a session count.

Who may be considered

People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.

Safety and clinical assessment

Laser and light-based procedures can cause burns, pigment change, scarring or other effects in some people. Settings and suitability depend on skin type and the area treated. Blistering, scarring and colour change can occur. Some ink is resistant. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
