Laser Tattoo Removal
Dr Hiba Injibar's Dermasurge clinic, situated on the prestigious Harley Street in Central London offers the Laser Tattoo Removal service. This treatment uses advanced laser technology to target and eliminate unwanted tattoos, providing effective and tailored solutions for people seeking tattoo removal.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
The process of Laser Tattoo Removal involves breaking down the ink in the tattoo into smaller particles, which are then absorbed into the body and eliminated.
Laser energy is applied to the tattoo in brief, rapid pulses, ensuring safe and effective treatment with minimal risk of scarring, as it does not cut into the skin.

What should I expect during the tattoo removal appointment?
During your tattoo removal appointment, you can expect the following:
- Initial assessment: Your journey begins with an initial assessment conducted by a qualified medical professional, such as a dermatologist or skilled laser technician. They will meticulously review your medical history, assess any existing skin conditions, and delve into the specifics of your tattoo, including its size, colour, and placement. Additionally, you will discuss anticipated outcomes, the estimated number of necessary treatments, as well as the associated risks and benefits.
- Preparations: Before commencing the laser tattoo removal procedure, your skin will undergo a thorough cleansing, and if deemed necessary, a numbing cream may be applied. To ensure your safety, protective eye wear will be provided for use during the procedure.
- Laser therapy: The laser is precisely directed at the tattoo ink on the skin, generating a controlled burst of heat. This process fragments the ink particles, rendering them smaller and more easily absorbed and eliminated by the body. Sensations during the procedure may resemble a rubber band snapping on the skin, or a warm, tingling feeling. Each treatment is brief, lasting only a few minutes, depending on the tattoo's size and complexity.
Aftercare following the tattoo removal
After the procedure, you may encounter redness, swelling, blistering, or scabbing on the tattoo. The healthcare provider will give you guidance on the correct care for the treated area and advise on measures to shield it from sun exposure.
Results of the laser tattoo removal treatment
The outcomes of laser tattoo removal differ because each patient's reaction to the treatment is individual. Typically, a series of multiple sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is required to completely eliminate the tattoo. Following these sessions, the tattoo may disappear entirely, partially, or to an extent where any remaining ink can be concealed with makeup.
