1. Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
The treatment is usually well tolerated. Clients say it feels like a rubber‑band snap on the skin. We use cooling technology to minimise discomfort and can apply numbing cream for sensitive areas. Each session lasts around 10 to 20 minutes.
3. Is laser removal safe for permanent makeup?
Yes – our Q‑Switch laser is specifically adjusted for PMU inks and safe for the delicate skin around the eyes and lips. It does not damage hair follicles. We always perform a small test patch before the first session to ensure perfect settings for your skin tone.
2. How many sessions are required to remove a tattoo?
On average, 6-12 sessions are needed for complete removal, depending on the tattoo’s size, colour and depth of the ink. Simple black tattoos fade faster than multi‑coloured ones. Sessions are spaced 4–8 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal naturally. Book your assessment today to receive a personalised plan for your tattoo removal journey.
4. Can laser carbon peel help with acne and oily skin?
Absolutely. The carbon mask absorbs excess oil, and the laser energy cleans and shrinks the pores while stimulating collagen production. You’ll see immediate brightness and gradual improvement of skin texture after a few sessions.
5. Are there any side effects after laser treatments?
Mild redness or swelling for a few hours is normal. Occasionally, small blisters or temporary light spots may appear and heal on their own. Avoid sun exposure and heat treatments for 48 hours, and use soothing cream as recommended.
6. How should I prepare for my first session?
Keep the area clean and free from self‑tan, creams or make‑up. Don’t sunbathe for at least 2 weeks before treatment. If you’re using retinol or AHA products, pause them 7 days prior. During your consultation we’ll check your skin and plan personalised settings.
7. How can I book a consultation?
8. Is laser removal suitable for all skin types?
Yes. Modern Q‑Switched Nd:YAG lasers are safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Settings are individually optimised to ensure efficiency and safety for every tone of skin.
9. Can I wear make‑up after face treatment?
Avoid make‑up and perfumed products for 24 hours after any laser treatment to allow the skin to settle. After that period, you can apply gentle, non‑comedogenic products.
10. What results can I expect and how long do they last?
Fading and clear improvement are progressive after each session. For tattoos and PMU, complete removal often takes several months. Skin treatments (Carbon Peel, Acne) offer instant glow lasting 4–6 weeks and cumulative long‑term results with regular care.
11.How much does tattoo removal cost?
The cost of tattoo removal depends on factors such as the size and complexity of the tattoo, the number of sessions needed, and the location of the tattoo removal clinic. At our company, we offer competitive pricing and personalized treatment plans to meet each customer's specific needs and budget.
