Tattoo Removal Treatment
Laser tattoo removal
At Think Again Tattoo Removal, we specialize in advanced laser treatments to effectively eliminate unwanted tattoos. Our state-of-the-art Quanta Discovery Pico Plus laser system ensures efficient removal of all ink colors with minimal discomfort.
Modern laser tattoo removal works by delivering ultra-short picosecond pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin and target tattoo ink particles. These pulses break down the ink into smaller fragments, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body’s immune system. This method is highly precise, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

Tattoo Removal Treatment Process
01
Free Personalized Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your tattoo's size, location, colors, and your skin type. This allows us to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
02
Pre-Treatment Preparation
To achieve optimal results, it's important to avoid sun exposure before your session. Applying a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or higher) for at least four weeks prior is recommended. If desired, a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize discomfort. Wearing loose clothing on the day of treatment can help prevent irritation, depending on the tattoo's location.
03
During the Treatment
Our skilled specialists use the Quanta Discovery Pico Plus laser to deliver targeted energy pulses to the tattooed area. The sensation is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Thanks to our advanced cooling system, any discomfort is minimized, and sessions are typically brief, lasting around 10-15 minutes.
04
Post-Treatment Care
After the session, we apply an antibacterial, organic healing ointment to the treated area and provide protective covering. It's crucial to keep the area clean, dry, and protected from sun exposure during the healing process. Following our detailed aftercare instructions will promote optimal healing and results.
Each laser tattoo removal treatment will continue to target the tattoo ink pigment, each time shattering into smaller microscopic pieces eventually dissipating and allowing no visible particles. Just like the sun is attracted to a black t-shirt yet its reflected by white one, the surrounding skin with no tattoo pigment will simply reflect the laser and remain unaffected. During laser treatment the tattoo will appear to have a white surface layer which is the first initial sign that the process is working. This is caused by the breaking down of tattoo pigment and the reaction to the laser, this colouring will subside within a couple of hours. Immediately after laser removal treatment the surrounding skin is likely to show a red discoloration and mild swelling. The feeling can be compared to mild sunburn where swelling and redness may last for one week. We will continue to cool the area at minus 40℃ using our optimised skin cooling machine. Operating latest laser pico technology, enable us to achieve faster and better results with minimal discomfort. However, our prices for complete tattoo removal are very affordable and tailored to suit your needs.
Prior to Our Treatment
It is important to keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight and ensure 30 SPF (or higher) sunscreen is used for four weeks up until treatment. Sun effected skin can result in additional discomfort and slow the healing process. Most importantly avoid any direct sunlight for at least 48 hours prior.
We also recommend that if you smoke to limit or cease smoking for up to four weeks prior to treatment. Smoking causes decreased flow of oxygen and can delay the healing process.
Topical anaesthetic or numbing creams can be used prior to treatment however it is important to apply to the area a minimum of 1 hour before hand to allow for the effect to take place.
Depending on where the tattoo is you wish to get removed, ensure loose fitting clothing is worn to avoid any rubbing or irritation after treatment.
Post Treatment
We will apply an aftercare cream to the area and the skin will be covered with a loose dressing. It is then up to you to manage the laser treated area and encourage the healing process through proper care. All clients will be sent a detailed aftercare instruction sheet, and we have a 24 hour line to contact us for advice on any post care related questions or concerns you may have.
The following steps should be carefully executed:
- Apply an antiseptic/antibacterial ointment to the treatment area and continue to do so 3 times a day
- Keep the area covered with a new clean dressing for at least 2 – 3 days after to avoid infection. After this time, remove the dressing and allow the area to ‘breathe’ and assist in healing and scabbing. This is a normal part of the body’s recovery process.
- Avoid direct sun exposure during the entire healing process and ensure spf 50+ sun cream is applied and/or clothing is covering the area (this includes tanning beds). Continue using sunscreen up until your next treatment.
- Showering is acceptable after 24 hours, however it is advised that you avoid prolonged exposure to water and avoid excessive heat in the skin for 48 – 72hours post treatment. This includes direct water pressure from a shower, exercise, swimming pools, using a bath etc. Excess moisture will hinder the wound/scab from healing.
- Avoid injury to the area
- Avoid scratching, picking or touching the direct or surrounding area. Pain of itching can be eased by applying a vitamin E cream
- Cold packs or a cool cloth may be applied if further discomfort persists. Be careful not to ice the area for too long as this may cause an ‘ice burn’.
- Ensure a minimum of 6 weeks before your next tattoo removal treatment
We cannot treat you if you are:
- Pregnant
- Using retinoids, Isotretinon (Roaccutane, Accutane, etc) –Must stop taking at least 6 months prior to treatment
