How it works
Tattoo ink sits in the skin as clusters of pigment that are too large for the body to clear on its own. The laser delivers short, concentrated pulses of light that pass through the outer layer of skin and are absorbed by the ink.
That energy converts to heat and breaks the pigment into much smaller particles. Over the following weeks, the lymphatic system gradually filters those particles away, and the tattoo fades. It can help to picture the ink as a rock in the skin: each session breaks it into smaller grains until the body can carry them away.
SharpLight technology
Our system can treat a range of ink colours and tattoo sizes across many skin types.
A planned series
Sessions are spaced to give the body time to clear ink between visits.
Assessed individually
Ink colour, depth, age and location all shape your plan.
Who it suits
How a tattoo responds depends on ink colour and depth, the age of the tattoo, its location on the body, your skin type and your overall health. Some colours respond more slowly than others.
Full removal
For a tattoo that no longer reflects you, treated over a series until it fades as far as your skin allows.
Fading before new work
Lightening a tattoo over a few sessions so a new design can cover it more easily.
Amateur and older tattoos
Older and amateur tattoos can be assessed and treated in the same way.
What to expect
Your first visit includes a consultation and assessment of your tattoo, so we can explain what to expect before treatment begins.
The treatment
Treatment time depends on the size of the tattoo. Small tattoos can take just minutes.
Sensation
Most clients describe a quick snapping on the skin. Larger or more sensitive areas may feel more intense.
Your plan
We review progress at each visit and adjust your plan as the ink responds.
Recovery & aftercare
The treated area needs time to heal between sessions, and we provide aftercare instructions after each visit. To support healing:
- Keep the area clean and follow the aftercare instructions provided
- Do not pick or scratch any scabs or blisters
- Protect the area from the sun
- Avoid soaking the area, such as in hot tubs or swimming pools, until it has healed
Results
Tattoo removal is gradual. Fading continues for several weeks after each session as the body clears the ink, and sessions are spaced to allow for this.
The number of sessions varies widely from person to person. Some tattoos fade significantly; others may leave faint residual ink or changes in skin texture. We review your progress at every visit.
Starting at $80
Sessions are priced by tattoo size, starting with a tattoo of about one inch. A buy 3, get 2 package is available. Full pricing and availability are shown in our online booking.
