What To Expect At Your Laser Tattoo Removal Appointment
At City Laser & Skin Clinic, we use advanced Cynosure Lutronic laser technology to target and break down the ink particles in your skin. Short, powerful pulses of laser light energy break up the pigment in the tattoo into microscopic pieces.
Over time, your body’s natural immune processes flushes away the fragmented ink, and the tattoo starts to fade with each laser session.
We typically recommend booking a session every 6 to 8 weeks, in order to allow your skin time to heal and clear the broken-down ink particles between treatments. Most clients require between 6 and 12 sessions in order to completely remove their tattoo.
Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?
Most clients describe laser tattoo removal as a light 'pinching' or 'snapping' feeling on the skin. Some discomfort is normal, so we offer cooling technology to help make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
When tattoo removal is performed by experienced professionals — like our trained technicians at City Laser Clinic in Leicester — permanent side effects, such as scarring, are extremely rare.
Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, blistering or mild skin sensitivity, all of which typically resolve within a few days.
