During a session, a specialized laser targets the tattoo ink, breaking it down into tiny particles that your body naturally eliminates. A numbing cream or gel is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Multiple sessions are required for best results, depending on the tattoo’s size, color, and depth.
After treatment, keep the area clean and moisturized. Avoid direct sun exposure, excessive sweating, and picking at the treated skin. Applying a soothing gel and following post-care instructions can help with healing and reduce irritation.
Laser removal is most effective on dark inks like black and navy blue, which absorb laser energy well. Lighter colours such as yellow, green, and light blue can be more resistant and may require additional sessions or specialised laser wavelengths. At Forever Radiant, we use advanced technology that targets a wide range of ink colours for more effective results.
Laser tattoo removal can cause mild discomfort, often described as a rubber band snap or quick stinging sensation. Numbing cream can be applied to reduce sensitivity. Most people find it tolerable. After the session, you might experience temporary redness, swelling, or slight scabbing, but there’s usually no major downtime, and you can return to daily activities right away.
The number of sessions varies depending on factors like the tattoo’s size, ink colours, depth, and your skin type. Most people require 6 to 10 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for significant fading or complete removal. Older tattoos and those with black ink typically respond faster, while multi-coloured or newer tattoos may take longer
