Get to Know Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoos are personal. Sometimes they no longer fit who you are or where you are in life. Laser tattoo removal at Ocean Cosmetics in Perth is designed to gradually fade unwanted tattoos in a doctor led, medical setting.

We start by assessing the tattoo’s age, colours, depth and location, as well as your skin type and medical history. Together we discuss what is possible, including the likelihood of complete clearance versus partial fading, and the risk of shadowing or texture change.

Laser tattoo removal is a journey. Multiple sessions spread over many months are usually needed. Skin health and safety are our priority at every step.

Benefits & Target Areas

Gradual fading of black ink in suitable tattoos.

Can target some darker colours, depending on pigment and depth.

Commonly used for names, symbols and small designs on the body.

Fades existing ink to help prepare for a new tattoo design.

Helps reduce tattoos on areas like hands, wrists and ankles that feel hard to hide.

Ideal for

Ideal for people who feel an existing tattoo no longer reflects them and understand that removal requires multiple, spaced sessions. Best for those with realistic expectations about fading rather than guaranteed clearance, and who are willing to follow strict aftercare and daily sun protection. Final candidacy is confirmed by a doctor at consultation.

Treatment Journey

Your doctor reviews your health, tattoos and any previous removal attempts. We examine colour, depth and location, then discuss expected response, risks and an approximate number of sessions.

You may be asked to avoid sun exposure, self tan and certain medications. We outline how to prepare the area and what to bring to your appointment.

Redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding and blistering are common and part of the healing process. You receive clear instructions on cleansing, dressing, avoiding friction and sun safety.

Technology We May Use

Frequently Asked Questions

Many tattoos need at least six to ten sessions or more, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number varies widely.

No. Some tattoos fade very well, while others leave a shadow or ghost outline. We will talk through realistic expectations.

The treatment is usually uncomfortable, often compared to a rubber band snap or hot oil. Numbing and cooling can be used to help.

Expect redness, swelling and possible blistering and scabbing. The area can take one to two weeks to heal after each session.

Black ink responds best. Darker blues and greens may respond. Some colours are more stubborn. Your doctor will assess this.

There is a risk of scarring and texture change, especially with certain tattoos and skin types. We discuss this carefully before treatment.

It is best to wait until the tattoo has fully healed and stabilised. Your doctor will advise on timing.

Many skin tones can be treated, but settings are chosen carefully for darker skin to reduce pigment change risk.

Once the skin has fully healed and stabilised, many people can have a new tattoo, but there may be texture or colour differences.

Pricing depends on size, colour, complexity and the number of sessions. A personalised quote is given at consultation.
