Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is considered by Dermatologists as the safest and most clinically effective procedure for the removal of tattoos.
Producing fantastic results, it works by allowing the light produced by the laser to pass through the skin and break the tattoo ink into tiny particles, all without burning or damaging the upper-layer of skin. Once these tattoo pigment particles have been broken down, the body disposes of them via your natural immune system.

FAQ's
IS IT SAFE?
Yes, but not all laser tattoo removal is safe. Some places have very poor quality machinery. We use Lynton machines, which are supplied to the NHS. A team of Ph.D. scientists and Aestheticians design, develop and test all their products to ensure that their laser equipment achieves the most effective, but safest results possible.
CAN I PAY in instalments?
Our majority of clients pay per session, but if your tattoo is on the larger side you can look at paying in instalments in various ways. We'll discuss this with you before starting treatments. You can stop treatment and payment at any time with any of these options.
WHAT TYPE OF MACHINE DO YOU USE?
We use the Lynton Lumina, which is an Active Q-Switched laser, among the most effective for removing unwanted tattoos. Active Q-Switched Lasers are considered by dermatologists to be the most effective, safe and reliable way to remove unwanted multi-coloured tattoos with consistent predictable results.
HOW DOES THE LASER WORK?
The very short pulse of high powered laser light is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, breaking them down into smaller pieces, enabling your natural immune defences to absorb and disperse the ink.
A gradual fading of the tattoo occurs over a series of treatments.

HOW WILL MY SKIN LOOK AFTERWARDS?
Some skin whitens a little after treatment (this is called frosting), and this generally fades quite quickly. The treated area is likely to feel tender for a few hours and can be red and swollen for up to 48 hours. We recommend a Lynton lasers product to help soothe the skin after each session.
HOW DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL?
MOST PEOPLE DESCRIBE THE SENSATION AS SIMILAR TO A HOT PIN PRICK OR THE FLICK OF AN ELASTIC BAND. WHILST A LITTLE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE, MOST PEOPLE TOLERATE TREATMENT WELL. WE USE A SKIN COOLING DEVICE TO REDUCE ANY DISCOMFORT.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
THIS DEPENDS ON SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING THE DENSITY AND COLOUR OF INKS, YOUR SKIN TONE AND THE AGE OF THE TATTOO. AS A RULE, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3 (usually amateur) AND 16 (professional). TREATMENT SESSIONS ARE SPACED 6+ WEEKS APART TO ALLOW TIME FOR HEALING. THE MAJORITY OF THE PROCESS RELIES ON YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND THIS PLAYS A BIG PART IN THE VARYING NUMBER OF SESSIONS YOU WILL NEED.
DOES THE LASER COMPLETELY REMOVE THE TATTOO?
If the tattoo is one of the easier colours to treat (black, red, yellow, orange, and most purples) then we reduce it to the point where it almost looks gone. We typically say not 100%, but around 85%, so that when looking at it you would never know it was a tattoo, you couldn’t depict the outline or wording, but you would still see a tiny bit of ink that could look like the last bits of a bruise. With the trickier colours (light blues, greens and pastel colours) the fading will be less and result are more variable. It's always best to book in for a consultation prior to embarking on any treatment. We use a Lynton machine, that retails for well over £30,000. It's one of the most advanced lasers for removing tattoos. Some of our competitors are using Chinese machines that cost less than £1000.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Temporary blistering, skin redness and some swelling are normal post-session. We use cooling packs during and after each session and recommend a range of products to speed up skin recovery. Tiny red marks called petechiae (pinpoint bleeding under or on top of the skin) can sometimes occur, a bit like some people see after having a tattoo done. Again, cooling packs and post-session care help speed up your recovery.
Even though this is extremely rare, we have to mention every side effect that's ever occurred, like on a leaflet that comes with paracetamol.
Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker. This can be permanent but usually reverts to normal after a few months.
Scarring of the skin is rare and occurs in less than two per cent of cases.
“Adverse effects can include pinpoint bleeding, blistering, scabbing, crusting, pustules, burns, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, erythema, edema and scarring."
Most people have a very positive experience. We've invested in a top quality British laser machine so that the chances of any side effects is minimised.

HOW LONG AFTER GETTING A TATTOO CAN I HAVE IT REMOVED?
We ask that you leave your new tattoo and skin to heal for at least 8 weeks before starting laser treatment.
how long would it be after removal until i could have a tattoo over the area again?
We suggest to leave your skin time to heal for at least 8 weeks after removal, and allow for more ink to be dispersed by your body before starting on your NEW tattoo.
I hAVE A TAN / FAKE TAN, WHY CAN'T I HAVE TREATMENT?
With an increased level of melanin (colour) in your skin, it is more difficult for the laser removal technology to target the ink and break the pigment up. Laser light is absorbed by melanin so you are more susceptible to having pigmentation issues. Having a tan makes tattoo removal far less effective, and therefore you'd also spend more money than you need to.

"He Said, She Said..."
When I first started my Laser Removal Journey I was very nervous and unsure what to expect, I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, professional and very informative team than Matt and Jodie! Even down to the aftercare they had it all covered! I’m loving the results and I have complete trust in them. I have started on my second removal with them and I honestly would not go anywhere else. Thanks Guys x
