This consultation is for Tattoo Removal to discuss outcomes, costs and approximate sessions that will be required, a patch test is carried out at this time. The cost will be deducted from the treatment when booked. Tattoo ink is trapped in the deepest layer of the skin. When tattoos are applied, ink particles are inserted with a needle into varying depths of this bottom layer. When tattoo removal laser light is applied to the skin, it heats up and shatters the ink that it reaches first within the skin. In other words, the shallowest layers of ink are removed before the deepest layers. It takes multiple treatments to penetrate through all of the varying depths of ink in a tattoo. If a tattoo is particularly dark or bold, it will require more treatments to remove the ink compared to shaded tattoos with a lower density of ink. Tattoo removal costs are dependant on size of the tattoo ranging from £50 for 1in x 1in, up to £125 for 6in x 6in. Multiple session courses are available.
