What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a medical aesthetic procedure that uses targeted laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles within the skin.
The body’s immune system then gradually eliminates the fragmented particles.
Multiple sessions spaced at intervals progressively fade and remove the tattoo.
Device technical specifications
- Devices used: PicoWay primarily — with PicoSure or a combined protocol where ink colour, pigment depth or prior treatment response indicates it.
- Mechanism of Action: Selective photothermolysis + targeted pigment / vasculature / water
How does laser tattoo removal work?
The laser delivers intense, short pulses of light that penetrate the skin and shatter tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments.
Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart progressively fade the tattoo until it is fully removed.
- Initial Consultation & Skin Assessment
- Laser targets tattoo ink particles
- The body’s immune system gradually clears the fragmented ink particles.
- Multiple sessions to progressively fade the tattoo

- Wood’s lamp Diagnosis— Identify pigment type to determine appropriate energy and wavelength

What these references can and cannot tell you. They describe what is known about the treatment itself — how well it tends to work, how long results last, and what can go wrong. They are not an assessment of this clinic, and no published study can tell you whether it suits your skin type, anatomy, or medical history. That judgement comes from the physician who examines you in person, and it may well be “not this one”.
