Overview
Our clinic uses the ClearLift Pro QS laser, a dual-wavelength system for safe and effective tattoo removal.
- 1064 nm: Targets black, blue, and grey inks
- 532 nm: Targets red, orange, and some yellow inks
This non-ablative laser works beneath the skin’s surface to break down tattoo pigment, allowing the body to gradually clear the ink. Multiple sessions are usually required depending on tattoo size, colour, depth, and individual skin type.
Quick Facts
- Treats most black, blue, red, orange, and grey inks
- Non-ablative — preserves surrounding skin
- Minimal downtime; well tolerated
- Multiple sessions required (typically 8–12 for dark inks, 6–10 for reds/oranges)
