How we can help

Targeted treatment for unwanted tattoos

Laser tattoo removal is designed to gradually fade or remove unwanted tattoos with precision and care. The laser targets ink particles within the skin, which are then broken down and cleared by the body over time. Tattoo removal is tailored to your skin, tattoo type and goals, with comfort and safety considered throughout the process.

How it helps

What to expect at a laser tattoo removal appointment

During your initial consultation, a laser technician or nurse will assess your tattoo, discuss your medical history and explain the removal process. If suitable, a patch test will be carried out to check how your skin responds.

At your treatment appointment, you will be given protective goggles before the laser is applied in short pulses to the tattooed area. Many clients describe the sensation as similar to an elastic band snapping against the skin. Most tattoos require a course of sessions, with several weeks between sessions to allow the area to recover and the body time to clear the fragmented ink.

Laser tattoo removal FAQs

You can find the answers to some common questions here.

Using a specialised laser, we apply high-powered light to the skin in pulses. These pulses cause the ink to break down into smaller particles, which your immune system can then remove from your body over time.

Laser tattoo removal may be suitable for adults who would like to remove an unwanted tattoo. A consultation is required before treatment because it may not be appropriate for everyone. This may include people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking certain medications, or who have some medical conditions or active skin irritation in the tattoo area.

Yes, it can be used on some eyebrow tattoos or semi-permanent eyebrow pigment, but suitability must be assessed carefully during a consultation.

Most clients describe the treatment as uncomfortable rather than painful. It is often compared to the sensation of an elastic band snapping against the skin.

Laser tattoo removal at The Clinic in Norwich starts from £100 per session. The total cost depends on the size, colour and age of the tattoo, where it is located and how many sessions are needed.

Several factors, including the age of the tattoo, the depth and colour of the ink, its size and location, and how your skin responds to treatment. Amateur tattoos may fade more quickly than professional tattoos, while some colours can be more difficult to treat.

A dressing may be applied after treatment to protect the area. Keep the skin dry for 24 hours, then gently clean it as advised. Avoid picking the area and protect it from friction and sun exposure while healing.

Laser tattoo removal can cause temporary discomfort, redness, swelling, blistering or scabbing as the skin heals. There is also a small risk of scarring or changes in pigmentation, and complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.
