Common side effects include: Redness or swelling (temporary) Mild blistering or scabbing Skin sensitivity for a few days Serious side effects like scarring or pigment changes are rare when treatment is done by a trained professional using medical-grade equipment.
In many cases, tattoos fade significantly or disappear entirely. However, results vary. Some tattoos may leave a slight “ghost” image or minor pigment change. Fading for a cover-up is also a great option if full removal isn’t necessary.
Black and dark blue inks are the easiest to remove. Colours like green, red, and yellow can be more challenging but can still be treated with the right laser technology and technique.
The number of sessions depends on: The size and age of the tattoo The ink colours used The depth of the ink in the skin Your skin type and immune response On average, 6 to 10 sessions are needed, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
Most people describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin or a warm, prickly feeling. Discomfort levels vary depending on the area of the body and your personal pain threshold. We can apply a **numbing cream** before treatment to reduce sensitivity.
