How does laser tattoo removal work?

Laser tattoo removal works by applying intense pulses of light to the ink within your artwork, which breaks down and is removed by the immune system. The Lightsense laser system is the safest and most effective technology to remove unwanted tattoos.
Here, we take a closer look at the tattoo removal journey, and the factors that aid the tattoo removal process.

How long does laser tattoo removal take?

Tattoo removal can take 8-12 sessions and permanent makeup removal can take 3-5 sessions, sometimes less and sometimes more depending on how the body responds to treatment.

To determine how long your removal will take, we focus on 3 factors: your tattoo style, your health and lifestyle and your personalised treatment plan.

1. Your tattoo style

1. Your tattoo style

Each tattoo is unique and the depth, density, colour and type of ink can all have an impact on treatment length.

Tattoos located closer to your heart have better circulation, making for a faster removal.

Speak to one of our experts to learn more about how long yours might take to remove.

2. Your health and lifestyle

The stronger your immune system is, the more efficiently it will flush away ink particles. A healthy diet and lifestyle will help ensure optimise results.

Hydration
Help your lymphatic system flow faster by drinking lots of water.

Healthy diet
Being well rested and eating a balanced diet will lead to the best results. Unsurprisingly, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption may slow the process.

3. Personal treatment plan

3. Personal treatment plan

Your tattoos are as unique as you are. That's why the most effective removal results are achieved through a personalised treatment tailored to you.

It’ll include an assessment of your tattoo, lifestyle and goals with our expert team of consultants and dermatologists, followed up with a bespoke aftercare protocol to follow between treatments.

Frequently asked questions

We recommend having a 1-1 assessment with our consultants to advise the best approach for your tattoo as lifestyle, ink density, ink composition, location and colour can all play a factor in your final results.
What kind of tattoos can you remove?
We can remove most tattoos of all sizes, ink colours and designs as well as permanent makeup and cosmetic tattoos. We’ll create a bespoke treatment plan to achieve the results you’re looking for.
Can I lighten a tattoo?
Yes, you can successfully fade tattoos down for cover-ups and do partial removals as well. Our minuscule laser spot size ensures we’re targeting the ink particles with targeted precision.
Can I speed up my tattoo removal?
Following our expert aftercare tips like living a healthy lifestyle, practising safe suncare and applying aftercare creams will all help supercharge your removal results.
Will my tattoo be removed in one session?
No, tattoo removal is a process that takes several sessions to give the body time to flush out the ink pigments. The great thing is with our unique laser technology at NAAMA, clients often see results in months, instead of years.
