When you book an appointment with us for Laser Tattoo Removal, we will initially give you a complimentary consultation with a qualified laser practitioner to make a full assessment of your needs, explain the tattoo removal and aftercare process in full and answer any questions that you may have.

You will need a test patch so that we can assess your skin’s likely reaction to the treatment and to ascertain the most suitable energy levels for you. We will reassess the results achieved at each treatment and adjust the laser energy levels to ensure that you continue to achieve optimum results throughout your course of treatments.

"Had a tattoo lasered at GSD in 2012 and was extremely happy with the service. Went back to start treatment on a second tattoo and service was 10/10. Good advice given & look forward to my next treatment."

Laser treatment remains the gold standard treatment option for removing tattoos, because the risk of scarring is far less than with ‘injectable’ methods and by surgical excision.

The lasers used for tattoo removal emit light energy in extremely short pulses, which is absorbed by the colour within the ink pigment of the tattoo.  The laser light has a ‘mechanical’ effect on the ink pigment and breaks up the ink particles into tiny fragments. The fragmented ink particles are taken up by ‘scavenger’ cells located within the skin and are are taken away within the lymphatic system, emptying into the kidneys and finally being excreted out of the body in the urine. This results in a gradual fading and eventual disappearance of the tattoo. It takes time for the ‘scavenger’ cells to remove the ink from the tissue and this is why the treatments are between 4 and 12 weeks apart, depending on individual assessment. The single colour Indian ink tattoo usually responds most rapidly to the treatment. Multi-coloured tattoos are not unduly difficult, however green, yellow and purple inks can be more troublesome to eradicate. In most cases if the tattoo is single blue/black Indian ink you can expect complete clearance of the tattoo. Red ink also generally responds well to the laser.
