How long does the removal process take?
The laser session time for tattoo removal depends on the size of your tattoo. A small one can be as quick as 30 seconds. A sleeve, for example, could take approximately 20 minutes.
How long will it take for my tattoo to be gone?
For complete removal, most multi-coloured tattoos require at least 10 treatments or a year worth of treatments (this may be more of less than 10 die to skin type), and the interval between treatments is generally 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Some small only black ink tattoos can be removed in just 3 or 4 treatments.
The size of your tattoo and who created it will determine the number of treatments required. Professional tattoos often require you to revisit a lot more times (depending on size and colour) than amateur tattoos, these can be as little as 1 to 4 times.
Factors that effect how quickly your tattoo will be gone?
Skin Type: Your clinician will advise you at your initial consultation.
Location of your tattoo: As the removal of the fractured pigments is determined by the body’s lymphatic system , the further the tattoo is away from the heart (like your foot or hand), generally speaking, the harder it is to remove these pigments.
These outlying areas generally require more treatments. The head, neck and torso area respond most rapidly, followed by arms and legs, then feet and hands.
Scarring at the Tattoo Site: If there is any scarring of the skin where the tattoo is situated, then tattoo removal will be more difficult as the cells in scarred skin that is tattooed are harder to “break down”.
How much will it cost to remove my tattoo?
The cost of removal is all dependent on the size of the tattoo. Please refer to our pricing page for an indication of some of the most common sizes. If you do not see your exact size tattoo, you should book in for a free consultation and patch test that takes about 30 minutes in total.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes! Here are some ways you can reduce the cost of your overall treatment:
We accept cash and debit/ eftpos. We do not accept cheques.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
The pain has been likened to being flicked by a rubber band. Anaesthetic cream can be used on the treatment area prior to laser tattoo removal. Treatments are short in duration also. Ask us for free numbing lotion prior to treatment
Is there a risk of scarring with tattoo removal?
The risk of scarring is very small. Our priority at the Tattoo Removal Company is your health and providing you with the highest quality care and best possible outcome. It is very important, however, that you follow the post-treatment instructions provided to you by your clinician.
Our experience and care ensures that any potential risks are eliminated or minimised. The patch test we conduct at your initial consultation will ensure the best possible laser tattoo removal outcome for you.
Can an old or unwanted tattoo be faded before adding new work?
Absolutely! Many clients choose to fade old tattoos before getting new art. We can achieve the right level of fading in around half the number of treatments we would need for a full removal. The accuracy of our machine allows for precision work to recreate a design for you by your tattooist. If your tattooist has some specific requirements get them to map it out on a photo of your tattoo and we can discuss your requirements at your first free consultation.
Do you remove breast cancer tattoos?
Also known as radiation therapy target dot tattoos, these tattoos will be removed at absolutely no cost to any person that has had breast cancer. The target dot tattoo is as permanent as any other tattoo and can be an unwanted reminder. These small tattoos can be safely removed with our Q-switched laser, often only requiring two five minute treatments.
Do you remove cosmetic tattoos?
The inks used in cosmetic tattoos often contain metallic bases which can behave unpredictably with laser removal. Contact us for a consultation as we consider these tattoo’s on a case-by-case basis.
Am I able to undergo treatments if I am pregnant or breast-feeding?
Due to the process your body goes through when undergoing our removal treatments it is unsafe to go ahead with removal if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, we have had customers who have put their treatments on hold due to pregnancy; we freeze their account with us and will resume when the time is right for them. If they have prepaid, these treatments will resume in time at no extra charge.
