Question 1

Do I need a consultation before booking tattoo removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes - Every tattoo is different. Ink colour, depth, size, age, and your skin tone and type all influence the approach and the realistic outcome. A consultation lets us assess your tattoo properly, give you an honest picture of what removal looks like for your specific situation, and build a plan from there. No obligation, just clarity.

Question 2

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

It varies - and we will always be honest with you about that. Most tattoos require between 4 and 8 sessions spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart. Factors like ink colour, tattoo age, depth, and your skin type all influence the timeline. Darker inks respond fastest. Coloured or heavily layered tattoos typically take longer. We give you a realistic picture at consultation so you know what to expect from the beginning.

Question 3

Is tattoo removal painful?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe it as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Discomfort levels vary depending on the tattoo's location and individual pain tolerance. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment to make the experience more comfortable — just let us know and we will arrange that for you.

Question 4

Does it work on all tattoo types?

Accepted Answer

Q-Switch laser is effective across most tattoo types including professional, amateur, cosmetic, and traumatic tattoos. That said, certain factors — ink colour, depth, and tattoo location — affect how completely the ink can be cleared. Some colours respond better than others. This is exactly why we assess every tattoo individually before recommending anything.

Question 5

Is tattoo removal permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes - though complete removal is not guaranteed for every tattoo. Significant fading is achievable in almost all cases. Whether full elimination is realistic depends on the tattoo's characteristics and your skin's response to treatment. We will give you an honest, specific answer at your consultation rather than a blanket promise.

Question 6

Is there any downtime?

Accepted Answer

Some redness, swelling, and mild blistering in the treated area is normal and usually settles within a few days. The skin needs to be kept clean and protected from sun exposure during the healing period. We provide clear aftercare instructions after every session.

Question 7

How long before I start seeing results?

Accepted Answer

Every session makes a difference. The laser breaks down ink particles with each treatment and the body gradually clears them over the weeks that follow. Fading is progressive — most clients notice visible change after each session, with results becoming increasingly apparent as the course continues. Full clearance develops over the complete course of treatments, and we track progress with you at every visit.

Question 8

Pre and Post Care

Accepted Answer

Before your session, avoid sun exposure on the treated area and arrive with clean skin free of any products. After treatment, keep the area clean, avoid picking or scratching, stay out of the sun, and follow the aftercare instructions provided. If you have any concerns between sessions, reach out to us directly.
