Laser Tattoo Removal

Suitable for professional, amateur, and cosmetic tattoos. Pricing at consultation based on tattoo size and colour. Performed at the Cronulla Plaza clinic under medical supervision.

Cronulla Cosmetic Medicine offers laser tattoo removal at its Cronulla Plaza clinic in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, under the medical supervision of Dr Peter Ryan. Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity, short-pulse laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles trapped in the dermis. The laser's rapid energy pulse creates a photoacoustic and photothermal effect that shatters the ink into smaller fragments that the body's lymphatic system can gradually clear over the weeks following each session. The effectiveness of tattoo removal depends on several factors including the wavelength of the laser relative to the ink colour, the age and depth of the tattoo, the density of ink, the skin type of the patient, and the location of the tattoo on the body (areas with better circulation clear faster). Black and dark blue inks are most effectively cleared by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser energy; coloured inks such as red, orange, and yellow require 532 nm wavelengths; and notoriously resistant green and teal inks require specialised wavelengths. Professional tattoos with dense ink packing typically require eight to twelve or more sessions, while amateur or single-colour tattoos may clear in four to six sessions. Sessions are spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow adequate immune clearance between treatments. Cronulla Cosmetic Medicine provides a medically supervised tattoo removal service at the Cronulla NSW clinic, serving patients from the Sutherland Shire, southern Sydney, and surrounds. Pricing is determined at consultation based on the tattoo's size, ink complexity, and the estimated number of sessions required to achieve the patient's desired clearance outcome.
