Most people can have laser tattoo removal, but a few important factors are usually assessed first.
- Tattoo size and colour matter. Darker inks like black, blue, and green usually fade more easily, while lighter colours can be harder to remove. Laser removal is safe for all skin types, and your clinician will check your skin to choose the best method. Older tattoos often respond better to treatment than newer ones.
- Health Conditions: You should be in good health and not have any medical conditions that could slow down healing. Some medications can affect recovery, so make sure to tell your clinician about any medicines you take.
- Tattoo Location: Where your tattoo is located can also matter, since some areas of the body are more sensitive or harder to treat. A clinician will assess eligibility for laser tattoo removal and estimate the number of sessions required to achieve the desired outcome. This consultation is essential for developing a personalised treatment plan that optimises results.
