Each treatment begins with a comprehensive clinical consultation to assess your tattoo’s size, colour, depth, location, and skin type, allowing a personalised treatment plan to be developed. Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results, with the number varying depending on the tattoo’s characteristics. Treatments are performed using medical-grade laser technology with a focus on patient safety, skin preservation, and effective ink reduction.
