Have a tattoo you no longer love? Perhaps your tastes have changed, you’re planning a new tattoo, or you’ve had permanent makeup that hasn’t quite turned out how you hoped.
Whatever the reason, laser tattoo removal could help you achieve a fresh start.
At Abby’s Beauty Secrets in Perth, Scotland, we offer professional laser tattoo removal for body tattoos and unwanted permanent makeup using our Lynton Luminette Q laser.
Here’s everything you need to know before booking your first appointment.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering short, powerful pulses of light into the tattoo pigment.
The ink absorbs the laser energy, which breaks the pigment into smaller particles. Your body’s natural processes then gradually clear these particles away, allowing the tattoo to fade over time.
We use the Lynton Luminette Q, a British-manufactured Q-switched laser specifically designed for tattoo removal.
The technology allows us to target a range of tattoo pigments, although some colours are more challenging to remove than others.
Can You Remove Eyebrow Tattoos and Old Permanent Makeup?
Yes! One of the treatments we offer is the removal or lightening of unwanted eyebrow permanent makeup.
Perhaps your brows have become too dark, changed colour over time, or you would simply prefer a different shape or style.
Laser removal can sometimes help lighten existing pigment, creating the opportunity for fresh permanent makeup in the future.
However, cosmetic tattoo pigments can respond differently from traditional tattoo inks. Certain pigments may darken when treated with a laser, so a thorough consultation and patch test are particularly important.
As Abby also specialises in permanent makeup, we can discuss your longer-term brow goals and whether removal or correction may be suitable.
How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions Will I Need?
This is one of the questions we’re asked most often!
Unfortunately, there isn’t one answer that suits everyone.
The number of treatments required depends on several factors, including:
- The size and location of your tattoo
- The colours and types of ink used
- How deeply the pigment was implanted
- Whether the tattoo is professional or amateur
- How your body responds to treatment
Some tattoos fade relatively quickly, while others require a longer course of treatment. Complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.
Appointments are spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and the body time to clear the fragmented pigment.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your tattoo and discuss realistic expectations.
Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?
Most people describe the sensation as similar to an elastic band snapping against the skin.
There can be some discomfort, but treatments are generally relatively quick, particularly for smaller tattoos.
Afterwards, the area may feel warm or tender, with some redness or swelling. Occasionally, blistering or temporary changes in pigmentation can occur.
We’ll explain what to expect and provide aftercare advice to help your skin recover.
Can I Fade My Tattoo for a Cover-Up?
Absolutely! Not everyone wants their tattoo removed completely.
Sometimes, a few laser treatments can help lighten existing ink enough to give your tattoo artist more flexibility when creating a new design.
This can be particularly helpful if you have a dark tattoo that you’d like to replace with something different.
How Much Does Laser Tattoo Removal Cost in Perth?
At Abby’s Beauty Secrets, laser tattoo removal starts from £40 per treatment.
The exact price depends on the size and area of the tattoo.
We recommend booking a consultation and patch test first so we can assess the tattoo, check suitability and provide a more accurate treatment price.
