At Remedi Medispa, we offer advanced laser tattoo removal in Esher, Surrey using the advanced Alma Harmony Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser. Helping clients reduce the appearance of unwanted tattoos safely and effectively. Whether you want to remove an old tattoo, fade unwanted ink or prepare an existing tattoo for a cover-up, our personalised laser tattoo removal treatments are tailored to your individual needs.

Every tattoo is unique. The results of laser tattoo removal depend on several factors, including the colours used, the depth and density of the ink, the size and location of the tattoo, and your skin type. Our experienced team will assess your tattoo and create a treatment plan designed around your individual goals.

HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?

Laser tattoo removal uses targeted pulses of laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles within the skin. These smaller ink particles are gradually cleared away by the body's natural processes over time.

At Remedi Medispa in Esher, Surrey, we assess each tattoo individually to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Factors such as ink colour, skin type, tattoo age and previous treatments help us establish a personalised treatment plan.

Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process, and multiple sessions are usually required to achieve the desired level of fading or removal.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?

• PERSONALISED TREATMENTS – Every tattoo is assessed individually to help determine the most appropriate treatment settings and approach.
• UNWANTED TATTOO REMOVAL – Reduce the appearance of tattoos you no longer want, whether they are old, faded or no longer suit your personal style.
• COVER-UP PREPARATION – Laser tattoo removal can help fade an existing tattoo to create a better starting point for a new tattoo or cover-up design.
• TARGETED LASER TECHNOLOGY – Laser energy is directed towards tattoo ink, helping to break it down while aiming to minimise damage to the surrounding skin.
• SUITABLE FOR SELECTED INK COLOURS – Different ink colours respond differently to laser treatment. Your practitioner will assess your tattoo and discuss the likely response.
• TAILORED TREATMENT PLANS – Your treatment plan will take into account your tattoo, skin type, medical history and desired outcome.
• GRADUAL, PROGRESSIVE RESULTS – Tattoo ink fades progressively over a series of treatments as the body clears the fragmented ink particles.

DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL HURT?

The sensation experienced during laser tattoo removal varies from person to person. Many people describe it as a quick snapping sensation against the skin. The level of discomfort depends on the tattoo's location, size, ink density and individual pain threshold.

During your consultation at Remedi Medispa Esher, we will explain what to expect and discuss ways to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Tattoo fading is a gradual process. Some clients notice changes after their first laser tattoo removal session, although visible results vary depending on the tattoo and the individual's response to treatment.

As the body gradually clears the fragmented ink particles, the tattoo may become progressively lighter following each session. It is important to allow sufficient time between treatments for the skin to recover and the body to process the ink.

HOW MANY LASER TATTOO REMOVAL SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including the tattoo's size, age, colour, ink depth, density and location. Professional tattoos may require more sessions than some amateur tattoos, and certain ink colours can be more challenging to remove.

Many tattoos require multiple sessions, and complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Some tattoos may only be suitable for significant fading rather than complete removal.

During your tattoo removal consultation in Esher, Surrey, our team will assess your tattoo and discuss a realistic treatment plan based on your individual circumstances.

WHAT TATTOO COLOURS CAN BE TREATED?

Different laser wavelengths target different tattoo ink colours. Black and dark blue inks often respond well to laser tattoo removal, while colours such as green, turquoise, yellow and certain lighter shades can be more challenging to treat.

The suitability of your tattoo for treatment will depend on the laser technology available, the ink colours present and your skin type. Your practitioner will assess your tattoo and explain the likely response before treatment begins.

CAN ALL SKIN TYPES BE TREATED?

Laser tattoo removal suitability depends on your skin type, natural pigmentation, tanning status and the laser technology being used. Some skin types have a greater risk of pigmentation changes or other side effects following treatment.

At Remedi Medispa in Esher, Surrey, we assess your skin and tattoo before recommending treatment. A consultation and patch test will be carried out in accordance with our clinical protocols to help determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

HOW LONG DO LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TREATMENTS TAKE?

Treatment times depend on the size, location and complexity of your tattoo. Small tattoos may take only a few minutes to treat, while larger tattoos can require longer appointments.

Your practitioner will advise you on the expected appointment length during your consultation at our Esher aesthetic clinic.

HOW LONG SHOULD I LEAVE BETWEEN TREATMENTS?

Laser tattoo removal treatments are spaced apart to allow your skin to recover and your body to gradually clear the fragmented ink particles.

The appropriate interval will depend on your skin's recovery, the tattoo being treated and the treatment protocol. Your practitioner will recommend a suitable schedule and advise when it is appropriate to return for your next session.
