Prices for laser tattoo removal depend on a few factors, such as the type of the tattoo, ink, number of colours, size and location on the body. A consultation is required to determine the cost and required number of treatements. On average 4-12 treatments are needed every 6-8 weeks.
There are multiple reasons why you may be thinking about removing your tattoo. Thankfully, at our Killarney clinic, based in County Kerry, The Skin Lab has a wide range of services to help you in this area.
Price may vary depending on the number of areas to be treated and the number of treatments.
There are certain circumstances where it may not be recommended to proceed with tattoo removal. These included but aren't limited to the below. If you are concerned, make sure to speak to one of our friendly team to discuss your options.
Our advanced laser delivers precise pulses of light energy into the tattooed skin. This energy is absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to shatter into much smaller fragments.
Over the following weeks, your body's immune system naturally flushes away these tiny ink particles. With each treatment session, the tattoo fades further until it's completely removed or faded enough for a cover-up.
Our laser treats the full colour spectrum - including difficult colours like white, green, and blue - making it effective for even multi-coloured tattoos.
Not Ready for Full Removal? Fade for a Cover-Up
You don't have to remove your tattoo completely. Many clients come to us wanting to lighten their existing tattoo so their tattoo artist can create a better cover-up design.
Benefits of fading for cover-up:
We can work with you and your tattoo artist to achieve the right level of fading for your cover-up design.
What to Expect From Your Tattoo Removal
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to getting a tattoo - a snapping or stinging feeling. We use cooling technology to keep you comfortable. The good news is that each session is much faster than getting the tattoo in the first place!
Laser energy is gently applied to the skin over the tattooed area. The laser shatters each ink particle into much smaller particles that can be eliminated through your body’s natural process. Through a series of treatments, the tattoo will fade and ultimately disappear.
You may notice an immediate fading. Generally tattoo removal will take place in a series of treatments. The number of treatments depends on the colour and density of the ink, the age of the tattoo, along with the location on your body.
Yes, but newer tattoos typically require more sessions than older ones. Older tattoos have already faded naturally over time, making them easier to remove. We recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks after getting a tattoo before starting removal.
Patients have reported the sensation similar to getting a tattoo, but the removal treatment is much faster! For improved comfort, a chiller or cold-roller may be used over the treated area.
Generally, there is no downtime at all. Often, a protective bandage is placed over the laser-treated area and you can continue on with your normal activities.
We space sessions 6-8 weeks apart. This allows your body time to flush away the shattered ink particles and gives the skin time to heal. Rushing treatments won't speed up results and could increase the risk of side effects.
When performed correctly, laser tattoo removal should not cause scarring. Our experienced technicians use appropriate settings for your skin type. Note that some tattoos may have existing scarring from the original tattooing process, which will remain after the ink is removed.
Yes! Our laser is specialised to treat the full colour spectrum including white and black. Some colours are more difficult to treat and may require more sessions.
The overall cost will depend on the number of treatments required. That number depends on numerous factors including ink colour, density and composition, location on the body, and age of the tattoo.
Yes. We can customise treatments to fade tattoos to help prep for tattoo cover-ups, and we can remove parts of a tattoo.
Results vary based on ink colours, tattoo age, and location. Your consultation will provide a realistic estimate for your specific tattoo.
