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.
What to Expect During and Before Treatment
Each laser tattoo removal session targets the ink pigment with precision, breaking it down into smaller microscopic particles with every pass. Over time, these fragments are naturally cleared by your body, until there’s no visible ink left.
Think of it like this: just as sunlight is absorbed by a black t-shirt but reflected by a white one, laser energy is absorbed by tattoo pigment while the surrounding skin reflects the light and remains unaffected.
Immediately during treatment, the tattoo may develop a temporary white “frosting” effect — an early visual sign that the laser is doing its job. This coloring fades within a few hours. Afterward, mild redness and swelling are completely normal and may feel similar to a light sunburn. This reaction can last a few days up to a week.
To minimize discomfort, we use a high-performance skin cooling system that delivers chilled air at –40°C before, during, and after every session. Combined with our cutting-edge picosecond laser technology, this allows us to achieve faster results with less pain.
Best of all, our pricing is transparent, affordable, and tailored to your specific tattoo and goals.
How to Prepare for Your Session
To get the best results and ensure safe healing, here’s how to prepare before your treatment:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight and apply SPF 30+ daily for at least four weeks before your session. Avoid sun exposure completely for at least 48 hours prior.
-
If You Smoke, Consider a Break: Smoking can reduce oxygen flow and delay healing. We recommend pausing or cutting back on smoking for up to four weeks before your treatment.
-
Topical Numbing Creams (Optional): You may use a numbing cream if desired — just make sure to apply it at least one hour before your session so it has time to take effect.
-
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Depending on your tattoo location, opt for loose-fitting clothes to avoid irritation after your 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 each by their recommended time frames prior to treatment
- Previous strong allergic reaction to the ink injection
- Taking anticoagulants
- Excessive skin bronzing/tanning
- In a generally poor health condition
- Wanting to treat an area that is in poor condition (abrasions, scarring etc)
- Have an Autoimmune disease
- Have an Coagulation disease
All of these will be as per directed by your physician. If you aren’t sure, just pop in for a free consult and we can refer you on for more advice if needed.
