Worthing Laser
Laser Tattoo Removal
Safely fade or remove unwanted ink with precise laser energy and minimal downtime. Suitable for all skin types.
- Effective on black & colour inks
- Low risk of scarring
- Patch test required
How It Works
Ultra-short, targeted pulses fragment tattoo pigment; your body clears particles between sessions.
- Precise, repeatable energy delivery
- Comfort measures available during treatment
- Patch test required ≥24 hours before first session
Why Multiple Sessions?
Tattoo ink is layered at different depths and densities. Each appointment safely targets more pigment while the skin recovers and your immune system clears fragments.

Refinement

Typical spacing: 6–8 weeks between sessions to allow for immune clearance and skin recovery.
Black / Grey
Usually responds fastest; often nearer the 6–8 session range.
Multi-colour
Reds/greens/blues may need extra passes; expect fading vs instant clearance.
Amateur vs Professional
Amateur ink is often shallower and clears sooner; professional can be denser/deeper.
Placement & Age
Older ink and well-circulated areas may fade more predictably.

FAQs
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Ultra-short pulses from the Nd:YAG laser break ink into microparticles that are gradually cleared by your immune system.
Does it hurt?
Most describe a quick, warm snap. Cooling and topical numbing can be used to enhance comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
Generally 6–10 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, depending on colour, depth, density, and age of the tattoo.
Can all colours be removed?
Black responds fastest. Reds/greens/blues often need additional sessions and may fade rather than fully disappear.
Is it safe for all skin tones?
Yes — with tailored parameters, Nd:YAG treatment is suitable across Fitzpatrick I–VI.
Will it leave a scar?
Scarring risk is low when performed professionally. We assess history and adjust energy settings to support healing.
