The laser used for tattoo removal is a highly focused device that rapidly delivers a beam of light to the skin, targeting unwanted tattoos. The laser is attracted to the darker colours in the tattoo ink rather than the lighter colour of the skin. When the laser beam strikes the ink, it shatters it into very fine particles. These particles become small enough to be absorbed and removed by the body’s natural filtration (lymphatic) system, rendering them no longer visible.
The Q-Switched Nd YAG Laser is specially designed for laser tattoo removal Adelaide services. This laser delivers very high-powered light to the skin over a fraction of a second, minimising any damage to the surrounding skin and significantly reducing the risk of scarring.
Generally, treatments are quick, but may incur moderate discomfort. Older tattoos may require more treatments, and different colours and intricate designs may also need additional sessions.
Many people get tattooed and later regret the decision. What seemed like a good idea at the time can become a major problem in later life, causing psychological distress or hindering employment opportunities. Additionally, many seek to remove or reduce previous tattoos to make way for new and more modern designs.
Our clinic offers tattoo removal Adelaide services using the Q-Switched Nd YAG Laser, capable of removing tattoos with black, dark and light blue, green, and red pigments within 6-12 sessions, depending on the tattoo’s quality. By matching the laser colour to the unwanted ink, both multi-coloured professional tattoos and single-colour amateur tattoos can be removed safely and effectively.
The number of treatments required depends on the amount and depth of the ink used. Most professional tattoos will require at least 8-12 treatments, with follow-up sessions conducted at 6–8 week intervals. Further fading can occur for several months after each treatment.
A minimum period of six weeks between treatments is recommended to allow the body’s lymphatic system to remove the ink treated by the laser.
Treatment costs vary depending on the tattoo’s size, colour, and the time required for treatment. These details can be discussed during your initial consultation.
Most tattoos can be removed or significantly lightened. Black, blue, and red tattoos tend to respond well, while aqua, green, and yellow tattoos may be more resistant and only partially fade. White tattoos reflect laser light and therefore do not respond to laser treatment.
Removal can begin once the tattoo has completely healed. Although it may appear healed within a week or two, a minimum period of six weeks is advised for complete healing before starting removal. Your initial consultation can take place at any time during these six weeks.
Yes, the area can be re-tattooed following laser tattoo removal Adelaide. Whether you have had complete removal, partial removal, or just lightening of the area, it can be re-tattooed. Replacing an existing tattoo is a common reason for seeking laser tattoo removal Adelaide services.
In many cases, there will be a 100% clearance of the tattoo. On average, 95% fading is considered a good result. The outcome depends on the colour and type of ink used, as well as the depth of ink penetration in the skin. We will be able to discuss the likelihood of success during your initial consultation.

Two of the main regulators (AHPRA and the TGA) have applied stricter rules around how cosmetic clinics advertise.
From March 7th 2024 it was clarified by the TGA that certain previously accepted methods of communicating with patients and marketing are now illegal.
Advertising prices of treatments is no longer allowed
Prices can of course still be discussed in person during your consultation, but they can’t be given over the phone, listed on a website or sent by email. Pricing must be quoted within the context of a consultation so that it is bespoke for your own needs.
Listing specific treatment areas is no longer allowed
New patients can now book in for a generic ‘New patient consultation’ and in person Courtney will explain what the best treatments are for your features. This helps avoid unrealistic expectations
