What Is Body Tattoo Removal?
Body Tattoo Removal uses laser technology to break down tattoo ink beneath the skin, allowing the body to gradually clear the pigment over a course of sessions. It’s suited to tattoos anywhere on the body you’d like faded or fully removed.
If you’re looking to remove a cosmetic (permanent makeup) tattoo such as brows, lips or eyeliner, our Cosmetic Tattoo Removal page is the right one for you.
Common Reasons for Removal
- A change in personal taste or life circumstances since the tattoo was done
- Wanting to fade a tattoo before cover-up work by a tattoo artist
- Workplace or professional requirements for visible skin
- A tattoo that has aged, blurred or faded unevenly over time
How We Assess It at Cosmetic Skin Co
At your consultation, Lisa will assess your tattoo’s ink colours, density and age to determine how many sessions are likely needed and what result is realistic for your particular tattoo.
