Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal at LolFace uses Nd:YAG laser technology to safely target tattoo pigment within the skin and support gradual fading over a course of treatments. This treatment can be used to remove unwanted body tattoos or to lighten existing tattoos in preparation for a cover-up.

Treatment plans are tailored individually depending on tattoo size, colour and depth. Nd:YAG laser treatment delivers controlled light energy into the tattoo pigment beneath the skin.

The pigment absorbs this energy and breaks into smaller particles, which are then naturally cleared by the body over time. Because this process happens gradually, multiple treatments are required for best results.
