Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal using medical-grade laser technology to break down ink pigment particles for gradual clearance by the body. Suitable for professional, amateur, and cosmetic tattoos across multiple ink colours. Number of sessions varies by tattoo size, ink density, age, and skin tone. Confirm availability at the Emporium Melbourne CBD location when booking.

Laser Clinics Australia at Emporium Melbourne CBD offers laser tattoo removal as part of its treatment portfolio, addressing a broad range of tattoo types including professional, amateur, and cosmetic tattoos across multiple ink colours and body locations. Laser tattoo removal works by directing high-intensity laser energy at the tattoo ink pigment in the dermis; the laser pulse is absorbed by the ink particles and converted into photoacoustic energy that shatters the ink clusters into microscopic fragments small enough to be cleared by the body's immune system — specifically macrophage uptake and lymphatic drainage — over the weeks following each treatment session. The number of sessions required to achieve full or significant clearance depends on several factors including the tattoo's age (older tattoos have already experienced some macrophage clearance and may respond faster), the density and layering of ink, the range of ink colours present, the depth of ink deposition, skin tone (Fitzpatrick classification affects laser parameters), and the body location (areas with better circulation clear faster). Common colour responses vary: black and dark navy ink clears most efficiently across Q-switched wavelengths; red, orange, and yellow inks respond best to 532 nm wavelengths; blue and green inks may require specific wavelengths and additional sessions. Sessions are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow adequate immune clearance between treatments. Minor blistering, scabbing, and temporary whitening of the skin immediately after treatment are expected findings.
