If you have a tattoo that no longer suits your style, or you’re preparing for a clean slate, laser tattoo removal offers a safe, non-surgical solution. At Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, we use industry-leading technology, including the powerful Q-Switched Laser and the advanced PicoSure Pro Laser, to break down tattoo ink with precision and minimal impact on the surrounding skin.

Whether your tattoo is faded, multi-coloured, or deeply pigmented, our practitioners are highly experienced in tailoring laser removal to your skin type and tattoo composition. Based in London, our clinics provide personalised treatment plans designed to fade or fully remove unwanted ink as safely and efficiently as possible.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Laser tattoo removal works by delivering short bursts of light energy into the skin, targeting the ink particles embedded in the dermis. The laser breaks the ink down into tiny fragments, which are then naturally cleared by your body’s immune system over time.

Different colours and ink types respond to different wavelengths of laser light. That’s why we use more than one laser system to ensure we can treat a wide range of ink colours and skin tones with precision.

Who Is Tattoo Removal Suitable For?

Laser tattoo removal is suitable for:

  • Unwanted or regretted tattoos
  • Tattoos that have faded or distorted over time
  • Clients preparing for cover-up tattoos
  • Multi-coloured tattoos, including red, green, blue, and yellow ink
  • Clients who have previously attempted removal with poor results

Our practitioners will assess your skin and tattoo during a consultation to determine the best laser and treatment plan for your needs.

Can the Tattoo Be Fully Removed?

In many cases, yes, especially with newer laser systems like PicoSure Laser. However, complete removal isn’t guaranteed for every tattoo. Some colours (like yellow or white) are more resistant to laser, and very deep or old ink may leave behind subtle shadowing. That said, most clients achieve either complete removal or a level of fading suitable for cover-up work.

Your practitioner will be honest and realistic about what can be achieved during your consultation.

Devices We Use for Tattoo Removal

At Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, we use two leading technologies for tattoo removal:

Q-Switched Laser

This is a tried-and-tested method for laser tattoo removal. The Q-Switched laser delivers nanosecond pulses of energy that shatter ink particles with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. It’s highly effective for black and dark ink tattoos, as well as tattoos that have already started to fade or are partially removed.

  • Works best on black, dark blue, and green pigments
  • Suitable for most skin types
  • Gradual fading over a series of sessions
  • Minimal downtime

PicoSure Laser

PicoSure is one of the most advanced tattoo removal lasers available today. It uses ultra-short picosecond pulses, which are faster and more efficient at breaking down ink particles — especially stubborn or colourful tattoos.

  • Treats multi-coloured, vibrant, or resistant tattoos
  • Effective on previously treated or hard-to-remove ink
  • Fewer sessions required compared to traditional lasers
  • Also stimulates collagen for smoother skin post-removal

Using both Q-Switched and PicoSure® systems allows us to adapt your treatment depending on your tattoo’s age, colour, depth, and your individual skin tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a tattoo be completely removed?

In many cases, yes, especially with advanced laser technologies like PicoSure®. Black and dark-coloured inks tend to respond best, while some colours such as yellow or white may be more resistant. Complete removal depends on factors such as ink type, depth, skin tone, and the number of sessions. Many clients see their tattoos fully cleared or faded enough to be virtually invisible.

How much does it cost to remove a tattoo in the UK?

The cost of laser tattoo removal in the UK varies depending on the size of the tattoo, the number of sessions required, and the technology used. At Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, we offer package pricing to provide better value for clients needing multiple treatments. A consultation is the best way to assess your tattoo and receive a personalised plan with clear pricing.

How to fade a tattoo fast?

Professional laser removal is the safest and most effective way to fade a tattoo. PicoSure® lasers break down ink particles more efficiently than older systems, often resulting in faster fading. Avoid DIY methods or topical products, as they are largely ineffective and may damage the skin.

Does removing a tattoo leave a scar?

When performed correctly using modern lasers and by trained professionals, laser tattoo removal should not cause scarring. Some clients may notice slight texture changes or pigment variation, particularly if the original tattoo scarred during application. Following aftercare instructions helps minimise any risks.

Can a tattoo be removed 100%?

Many tattoos can be removed completely, though results vary. Ink colour, skin type, tattoo depth, and individual healing response all play a role. Black ink tends to respond best, while lighter or mixed colours can be more challenging. PicoSure® often achieves superior clearance in fewer sessions than traditional lasers.

How painful is tattoo removal?

Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, uncomfortable, but tolerable. Treatments are brief, and cooling systems are used to ease sensitivity. Discomfort levels can depend on the tattoo location and your individual pain threshold.

What are the downsides of laser tattoo removal?

Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, blistering or sensitivity after treatment. In rare cases, pigment changes or mild texture irregularities can occur. These risks are significantly reduced when treatment is performed by experienced practitioners using advanced laser technology.

Do you pee out ink after tattoo removal?

Not exactly. After laser treatment breaks down the ink into microscopic particles, your body’s lymphatic system gradually processes and clears it, much like how it handles other waste. While the ink is removed internally, it’s not excreted directly through urine in the way many assume.

Is fading better than full removal?

It depends on your goal. If you’re planning a cover-up tattoo, fading may be enough to allow for a new design. For others, complete removal is preferred to restore natural skin tone. Your practitioner will guide you on the best approach based on your tattoo, skin type, and desired outcome.
