LEARN MORETattoos
Tattoos often mark a moment in time, a story, or a piece of identity. But over time, feelings about a tattoo can shift. Whether it no longer reflects who you are, was placed impulsively, or has faded or stretched with age, it is entirely valid to want a fresh start.
Unwanted tattoos can feel limiting, especially when they are in visible areas or tied to a past that no longer fits. For many people, seeking tattoo removal is not about erasing the past but about reclaiming comfort and confidence in their skin.
Fortunately, tattoo removal has come a long way. With today’s advanced laser technology, it is possible to safely fade or remove tattoos with minimal risk to the surrounding skin. We use medical-grade lasers designed to target ink precisely and effectively over a series of sessions. Our approach is thoughtful and supportive, always centered on your goals so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Key factors that affect
tattoo fading and removal
tattoo fading and removal
Ink Colour and Depth
Tattoos made with darker pigments such as black or navy typically respond best to laser removal. Brighter colours, including: red, green, and blue can be more resistant and may require more sessions. The depth at which the ink was placed also plays a role in how quickly and effectively it fades.
Age of the Tattoo
Older tattoos often fade more easily than newer ones, as the body has already begun to break down some of the pigment over time. Fresh tattoos tend to have more vibrant ink particles that sit deeper in the skin, making removal a longer process.
Skin Tone and Type
Different skin tones and sensitivities affect how the skin responds to laser treatments. Advanced laser technologies can be adjusted to safely treat a wide range of skin tones while minimizing risks like hyperpigmentation or irritation.
Tattoo Location
The body’s ability to clear ink particles through the lymphatic system varies by location. Areas with strong circulation, like the chest or upper arms, may respond more quickly to removal than areas like the ankles or fingers.
Immune Response
Laser tattoo removal relies on your immune system to gradually flush out fragmented ink particles. Factors like hydration, overall health, and even smoking status can affect how efficiently your body processes the ink after each session.
At Victoria Park Medispa we offer expert laser tattoo removal using the latest medical technology with a strong focus on safety comfort and results. Whether you are seeking full removal or gentle fading our experienced team is here to support your journey with honesty precision and respect for your skin’s evolving story.

FAQ
Got questions about tattoo removal? We’ve got answers!
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
Prices vary depending on the size of the tattoo, the ink colors, and the number of sessions required. A personalized quote will be provided during your consultation.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
The sensation is similar to a quick rubber band snap against the skin. Most clients find the discomfort tolerable, and comfort measures are available if needed.
Is laser tattoo removal safe?
Yes. This treatment is safe when performed by qualified professionals using high-quality medical lasers such as PicoWay or PicoSure.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Yes, most colors can be treated. Black is the easiest to remove, but advanced lasers can also effectively target red, green, and blue inks.
What should I expect after each session?
It is common to experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, similar to a sunburn. These effects usually resolve within a few days. You will be given post-treatment care instructions.
How many sessions are needed to remove a tattoo?
Most tattoos require between 5 and 10 sessions. The type of ink, depth, age of the tattoo, and your skin type will influence the exact number of treatments required.
Can I remove only part of a tattoo?
Yes. Lasers can precisely target specific sections of a tattoo if you wish to fade or erase only part of it.
Will the tattoo disappear completely?
In most cases, tattoos can be fully removed or significantly faded. Results depend on the type of ink, depth, and how your skin responds to treatment.
Can I start removing a recent tattoo?
No. It is recommended to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks after getting a tattoo to allow the skin to fully heal before beginning the removal process.
Is there downtime after the treatment?
No. Most people can return to normal activities immediately. Mild redness or swelling usually subsides within a few days.
Can I get a new tattoo in the same area?
Yes. Once the skin has completely healed after your final session, it is safe to have a new tattoo placed in the same area.
Does laser tattoo removal cause scarring?
No. When performed properly, modern laser tattoo removal significantly reduces the risk of scarring. Following a good post-treatment care routine is essential for optimal healing.
