Tattoo removal is a medical procedure designed to eliminate or significantly fade unwanted tattoos. Advanced laser technology is the most common method used, effectively breaking down the ink particles in the skin. The body then naturally removes these fragmented ink particles over time, resulting in the gradual fading of the tattoo.
Laser technology involves state-of-the-art laser which emit high-intensity light beams that target and shatter the tattoo ink without damaging the surrounding skin.
The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as the size, colour, age, and depth of the tattoo. Typically, several treatments spaced weeks apart are necessary for optimal results.
The effectiveness of tattoo removal varies based on individual factors. Darker inks, such as black and blue, are generally easier to remove than lighter colours like yellow and green. Older tattoos are often easier to treat than newer ones.
Tattoo removal offers a solution for those seeking to erase or lighten unwanted tattoos, providing a fresh start and the opportunity to make new choices about body art.

Tattoo removal is a procedure aimed at eliminating unwanted tattoos from the skin. People seek tattoo removal for various reasons, such as regret, a change in personal preferences, or the need to remove tattoos for professional reasons. While there are several methods available for tattoo removal, laser tattoo removal is the most common and effective technique used today.
Laser tattoo removal uses advanced laser technology to break down the ink particles in the tattoo. The procedure works by directing laser beams at the tattooed area. These beams are absorbed by the tattoo ink, causing the ink particles to shatter into smaller fragments. Over time, the body’s immune system naturally removes these fragments, gradually fading the tattoo.
Key points about laser tattoo removal include:
Effectiveness – Laser tattoo removal is highly effective for most tattoo colours, though some colours may require more sessions to remove completely.
Precision – The laser targets the tattoo ink specifically, minimising damage to the surrounding skin.
Multiple Sessions – Complete removal often requires multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to allow the skin to heal and the body to process the ink fragments.
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective option for those looking to remove unwanted tattoos, offering a reliable solution to achieve clear skin.
Revlite laser tattoo removal is a popular and effective method for removing unwanted tattoos. Here are some details about the treatment:
Revlite Laser Tattoo Removal
Revlite uses a Q-switched Nd laser, which emits light pulses that are absorbed by the tattoo ink. The laser energy breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.
Benefits
– Effective on a variety of ink colours, including dark and stubborn shades.
– Minimal damage to surrounding skin, reducing the risk of scarring.
– Suitable for all skin types.
– Can be used for tattoo fading if complete removal is not desired.
Our therapist evaluates the tattoo and skin type to determine the number of sessions required. The laser is applied to the tattooed area, with sessions typically lasting 10-30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
Multiple sessions are usually needed for complete removal, spaced several weeks apart.
Gradual fading of the tattoo occurs over time, with noticeable improvement after each session. Final results depend on factors like the tattoo’s age, size, colour, and the patient’s skin type.
