FAQs

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The CuRAS Q-Switched Laser delivers light energy in
very short bursts in a choice of multiple wavelengths,
so it precisely targets the cells containing pigment, with
significantly less impact on the surrounding cells.

Can all tattoos be removed with laser?

Mixed tattoo inks and light colours are more difficult to remove.

How many sessions will it take?

The size, location, depth and colour of your tattoo will
determine how many treatments are required.

Is laser tattoo removal painful?

The sensation of treatment is like the snap of a
rubber band on the skin. Most patients do not require
anaesthetics, although some people may feel more
comfortable with a topical anaesthetic. Each session
usually takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the size and
colour composition of your tattoo.

What can i expect after treatment?

Right after your treatment, some whitening of the skin
may occur, the area around the tattoo might become
reddish and could have some swelling. This is normal
and will disappear gradually over time. The full effect of
each treatment takes about 5-6 weeks.

How soon after laser tattoo removal can i get tattooed?

After completing laser tattoo removal, it's generally recommended to wait until your skin has fully healed before getting a new tattoo. This healing period typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks. However, the exact time can vary depending on your skin's healing process and the extent of the laser treatment.

Who should not have laser tattoo treatments?

You have tanned skin
You have a disease that is stimulated by light (e.g. Epilepsy)
You are using photosensitive drugs (e.g. Roaccutane)
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
