WHAT IS LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
Laser tattoo removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light energy to reach deep into the layers of the skin and destroy tattoo ink particles, so that the body can naturally remove them over time through the lymphatic system. Our AWI Pico Legend is a true Picosecond laser for fast removal of all tattoo colours.
HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?
The laser wavelength is selected according to the colour of your tattoo, and passed over the area to be treated. The energy causes the ink to heat up and shatter into tiny fragments. Specific wavelengths of light will target specific colours, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.
After the ink is broken down into smaller particles, phagocytes in the blood stream engulf the fragmented particles and disperse them through the lymphatic system, causing the tattoo to fade.
At each session, the top layer of visible ink will absorb the laser light and fragment into smaller particles ready to be removed through the lymphatic system over time. Your tattoo will appear lighter after each treatment.
The process is repeated until all visible ink has gone. The number of sessions required depends on the size, colour, saturation, depth and age of the tattoo.
WHAT IS A PICO LASER?
A picosecond laser emits light pulses with a duration of one trillionth of a second. These extremely short pulses allow for highly precise and rapid ink particle destruction, without damage to the surrounding tissue. Put simply, the ink particles are broken up so quickly that there isn't time for the surrounding tissue to become damaged, allowing for more ink destruction at each session.
The Pico Legend a true Picosecond laser offering one of the fastest pulse times on the market at 300 pico-seconds. This is two or three times faster than many other pico-second lasers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL HURT?
Most people describe the sensation as feeling like a hot pin-prick or the flick of an elastic band. Certain parts of the body are more sensitive than others but the treatment is over very quickly and we use a cool air during the treatment.
HOW DOES THE SKIN LOOK AFTER LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
An instant whitening of the skin is seen immediately after the treatment but this fades quickly. The area may be red and swollen for up to 48 hours and in some cases the skin will blister.
CAN ALL TATTOOS BE REMOVED WITH LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
Most tattoos can be removed with laser tattoo removal. In rare cases, where acrylic or white ink has been used, laser tattoo removal will not completely remove all of colour.
HOW LONG DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TAKE?
Each treatment takes 5-30 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo.
WHO CANNOT HAVE LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
We cannot treat you if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking roaccutane or suffering from certain medical conditions.
HOW MANY LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
This depends on the age of the tattoo, density of colour, type of ink used and your skin. Amateur tattoos and semi-permanent makeup can take just 1-6 sessions whereas professional tattoos can take up to 15. Treatments are spaced 6-12 weeks apart.
WILL I HAVE A SCAR AFTER LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
In most cases the skin will return to its pre-tattoo condition but there is a chance of scarring. The skin may also lose pigment and be difficult to tan but this generally improves with time. At LA Perfection we offer a range of skin treatments that can reduce scarring and stimulate melanin production.
CAN SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP BE REMOVED WITH LASER?
Our tattoo removal specialist, Lyndsey Allen, is a cosmetic tattooist and specialises in removing and correcting cosmetic tattoos. If white pigment is left after laser removal, she will use a manual removal method to treat the remaining pigment.
HOW MUCH DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL COST?
The cost depends on the size of the tattoo. We offer free consultations to work out a price and treatment plan.
TESTIMONIALS
Consultation was so helpful. Zoe explained the whole process very simply- warts and all and she filled me with confidence that she knows exactly what she is doing. The test patch was great as well, it's nice to know what the actual thing is going to be like and I was pleased to know that it is bearable!
EMILY
Just had my final removal session, after just under a year of treatment I can definitely recommend LA Perfection and particularly Zoe for the great job she has done and for making me feel welcome everytime!
CHRISTOPHER
This was my first ‘proper’ appointment, and as I arrived feeling a little nervous, I was greeted with smiles and reassurance. Everyone was professional and were able to answer my questions thoroughly. I am so glad I booked with LA perfection to have this treatment.
