What is an Unwanted Tattoo?
While tattoos can be a form of self-expression, personal tastes and life circumstances evolve, and what once held significance may no longer align with one’s aesthetic or professional goals. Over time, tattoos can also fade, blur, or change in appearance due to ageing skin and sun exposure, resulting in a look that no longer reflects its original intent.
The process of tattoo regret is common, and it can stem from a variety of factors - whether it’s a poorly executed design, a shift in lifestyle, or simply outgrowing a past choice. The presence of an unwanted tattoo can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, impacting their confidence and how they perceive their body. Tattoos are deeply embedded in the skin’s dermal layers, making removal a complex concern that requires specialised treatments.
Fortunately, advanced technologies now offer effective solutions for those seeking to remove or significantly lighten tattoos. At Dr. D Cosmetics, we provide state-of-the-art laser tattoo removal services designed to target and break down the ink particles within the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is tattoo removal, and how does it work?
Tattoo removal is a procedure designed to break down and eliminate tattoo ink from the skin. The most common method involves laser technology, which targets the pigments in the tattoo, causing them to fragment into smaller particles that are naturally cleared by the body’s immune system.
What type of laser is used for tattoo removal?
At Dr. D Cosmetics, we use advanced laser technology, such as Picosure laser, which is highly effective for tattoo removal. This lasers deliver rapid, concentrated pulses of light to break down tattoo pigments with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
How many sessions are required to remove a tattoo?
The number of sessions needed varies depending on several factors: the size, colour, and age of the tattoo, as well as the depth of ink and your skin type. On average, most tattoos require 6 to 12 sessions for optimal removal.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Laser tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, often compared to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin. However, the pain is manageable, and numbing creams or cooling devices are available to enhance comfort during the procedure.
Are there any side effects or risks involved?
Temporary side effects can include redness, swelling, blistering, and mild bruising, which typically subside within a few days. In rare cases, laser treatment may cause scarring or changes in skin pigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones. At Dr. D Cosmetics, we take precautions to minimise these risks.
Can all tattoo colours be removed?
Different ink colours respond to laser treatment in varying ways. Black and dark blue tattoos are the easiest to remove, while lighter colours like yellow, white, and fluorescent shades can be more resistant. We use specific wavelengths of light to target different colours for more effective removal.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types?
Yes, with proper precautions, laser tattoo removal is safe for all skin types. However, darker skin tones may require a more conservative approach to minimise the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. At Dr. D Cosmetics, we tailor our treatments to ensure safe and effective results for every skin type.
What is the recovery time after a tattoo removal session?
Recovery time is usually minimal. You may experience mild swelling or redness for a few days post-treatment. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions, such as keeping the area clean, avoiding direct sunlight, and applying soothing ointments as recommended.
Can I expect complete removal of my tattoo?
Complete removal of a tattoo is possible in many cases, especially for black ink and smaller designs. However, some tattoos may leave faint traces or “ghosting” depending on factors like the depth of the ink and the type of pigment used. We will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
How should I prepare for my tattoo removal session?
Before your session, avoid sun exposure and tanning on the treatment area, as this increases the risk of side effects. You should also refrain from using any products that may irritate the skin, such as retinoids or exfoliants, for at least a week before treatment.
Are there alternatives to laser tattoo removal?
While laser removal is the most effective and widely used method, other options include dermabrasion and surgical excision. However, these alternatives are typically more invasive and carry a higher risk of scarring. Laser tattoo removal remains the gold standard for most individuals.
Can I have a new tattoo applied over the area after removal?
Yes, once the tattoo is fully removed and the skin has completely healed, you can choose to have a new tattoo applied. We recommend waiting several months after the final session to ensure the skin has recovered fully.
