Looking to reduce the appearance of an unwanted tattoo??
At My London Skin Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art laser tattoo fading treatments with our advanced CuRAS laser machine.
Our team has experience offering laser tattoo removal across a range of skin types.
Laser tattoo removal is a well-established cosmetic procedure commonly chosen to fade unwanted ink over multiple sessions.
The laser uses short pulses of light energy to break down the ink into smaller particles, which the body can gradually clear.
As the laser starts to break down the ink, a light grey frosting will appear on the treated area – signalling that the removal process has begun.
After a course of treatments, many clients see significant fading of their tattoo, typically with good skin tolerance.
Typically a minimum of six sessions is required to significantly fade a tattoo with lasers.

Although downtime is minimal, you may experience some temporary swelling, redness, mild tingling, or blistering following your laser tattoo fading session.
It can take around six to eight weeks for a tattoo to fully heal. So, we recommend waiting until then before planning your tattoo removal session.
To ensure a fast healing process, follow the after care provided by your practitioner. Each patient’s healing journey will be different, and other factors could delay the healing time.
On average it can take anywhere from four to eight weeks.
There might be some redness and swelling to the area treated. Minimal stinging may be felt for up to an hour. After 24 hours you may experience blistering in the area treated.
Some clients notice temporary changes in skin tone in the treated area. Other side effects include infection, redness, soreness or scarring.
Laser tattoo removal is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals.
At My London Skin Clinic, we always provide a full consultation prior to any procedures. This is to ensure suitability for the treatment, and to develop a customised treatment plan.
