Laser Tattoo Removal

We provide professional laser tattoo removal in Plymouth using advanced, medical-grade laser technology. Our experienced specialists carry out every treatment in a safe, clean and comfortable clinic environment.

Whether you want to completely remove a tattoo or simply fade it for a cover-up, we will make the process as straightforward and manageable as possible.

About Our Tattoo Removal Treatment

Tattoos were once considered permanent. However, modern laser technology now allows unwanted ink to be safely faded or fully removed over a series of treatments.

At Plymouth Laser Clinic, we treat tattoos of all sizes, colours and placements — including delicate areas such as the face, neck and hands.

Every treatment begins with an assessment. We look at:

  • Ink colour and density
  • Skin type
  • Tattoo age
  • Location on the body
  • Any previous removal attempts

This allows us to recommend a realistic treatment plan tailored to you.

State-Of-The-Art Laser Technology

We use advanced, Q-switched laser systems, including the RubyStar laser. This technology is particularly effective at targeting coloured inks such as blue and green, which can be more difficult to treat with standard lasers.

Because we have access to multiple laser systems, we can select the most suitable option for your tattoo. This improves results and helps minimise the number of sessions required.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

Laser tattoo removal works by delivering short pulses of energy into the skin. These pulses break the tattoo ink into tiny fragments.

Your body then gradually processes and removes these particles naturally through the lymphatic system. As a result, the tattoo fades progressively with each session.

Most tattoos require multiple treatments because ink sits at different depths within the skin. Therefore, spacing sessions correctly is essential for safe and effective removal.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

On average, most clients require between 4 and 8 treatments. However, this varies depending on:

  • Tattoo size
  • Ink colour
  • Depth of ink
  • Skin type
  • Age of the tattoo

Professional tattoos often require more sessions than amateur tattoos because the ink is placed more deeply.

During your consultation, we will provide a realistic estimate based on your specific tattoo.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?

Pain tolerance varies from person to person. Many clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

Although some discomfort is normal, sessions are usually quick. We also take steps to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout treatment.
