Laser Tattoo Removal Wilmslow
Safe, effective treatments using medical-grade laser technology
The service you get at Heaven sent is amazing. Katie who did my treatment for laser removal is so friendly and makes you feel safe and makes you feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this clinic. They are very professional.
I was honestly a bit nervous about having tattoo removal after a previous experience elsewhere, but Rachael made the whole process so much more comfortable than I expected. She was so lovely, reassuring, and explained everything clearly from the beginning. Her calm and friendly approach instantly put me at ease, and I felt like I was in really safe hands the entire time. Can’t thank her enough - highly recommend!
I’ve only had one session so far and my tattoo already looks as though it has began to fade so much!! Very impressed and can’t wait to see what it continues to look like. Rachael is super friendly and welcoming & continuously checks that you’re comfortable and not in pain. 100% recommend ☺️
How laser tattoo removal works...
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering short pulses of laser energy into the tattoo pigment. The energy breaks the ink down into tiny particles, which your body’s natural immune system then gradually clears away over time.
Different tattoo colours and ink types respond differently to laser treatment, which is why removal is carried out as a course rather than a single session. Treatments are spaced apart to allow your skin to heal and your body time to process the fragmented ink.
In simple terms:
- The laser targets the tattoo ink beneath the skin, not the surrounding tissue
- The ink is broken into smaller particles with each session
- Your body naturally clears the ink between treatments
Fading happens gradually, with the tattoo becoming lighter and less defined after each session until the desired level of removal is achieved.
Is laser tattoo removal right for me?
Laser tattoo removal is highly effective for many people, but suitability depends on a few important factors. This is why every client is assessed before starting treatment.
Tattoo colour & ink type
Laser targets pigment, so darker inks such as black and dark blue respond most effectively. Brighter colours may take more sessions, and some inks fade differently depending on how they were originally applied.
Skin tone & healing response
Laser tattoo removal can be carried out on a wide range of skin tones, but settings must be carefully adjusted to protect the skin. Your skin’s healing response is also considered to ensure treatments are spaced safely and effectively.
Age, depth & location of the tattoo
Older tattoos often fade more easily than newer ones. The depth of the ink, how saturated it is, and where it sits on the body all affect how many sessions are needed and how the tattoo responds over time.
Free consultation, patch test & first laser session (up to 8cm in size)
Before starting laser tattoo removal, every client is invited in for a consultation and patch test. This ensures the treatment is safe, suitable, and correctly tailored to your skin and tattoo type.
During your consultation, we will:
- Assess your skin tone, existing tattoo, and medical suitability
- Discuss your goals and expected results
- Explain the recommended treatment plan, pricing, and number of sessions likely to be needed
- Answer any questions before you decide how to proceed
- A patch test is carried out to check your skin’s response to the laser.
For tattoos up to 8cm in size, your first full laser tattoo removal session is included free of charge, allowing you to experience the treatment properly and see the results for yourself, before committing to a course.
There is no obligation to continue - the consultation and first session are simply there to ensure laser tattoo removal is the right option for you. Our Wilmslow clinic welcomes clients from across Cheshire including Alderley Edge, Knutsford, Handforth, Prestbury and South Manchester for laser tattoo removal and PMU correction treatments.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most clients describe laser tattoo removal as feeling similar to an elastic band snapping against the skin. Sensitivity varies depending on the tattoo location and individual pain tolerance. Treatments are relatively quick, and we tailor settings to your comfort wherever possible.
How many tattoo removal sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on factors such as tattoo age, colour, depth, location and the type of pigment used. Some tattoos fade significantly within a few sessions, whilst others require a longer course of treatment.
Can eyebrow tattoos and permanent makeup be removed?
Yes. We offer specialist eyebrow tattoo and permanent makeup removal for unwanted, faded or discoloured PMU. Treatment plans are tailored depending on the pigment type, colour and your long-term goals.
Will laser tattoo removal leave a scar?
When performed correctly using appropriate settings, laser tattoo removal is designed to target pigment rather than create scarring. Existing scar tissue within the tattoo itself may still remain visible after pigment removal.
Can I fade a tattoo before getting a cover-up?
Absolutely. Many clients choose laser tattoo removal to lighten an existing tattoo before a cover-up. Fading old pigment can often give your tattoo artist more flexibility and improve the final result.
How long should I leave between tattoo removal sessions?
Most tattoo removal treatments are spaced approximately 8+ weeks apart to allow the body time to process and clear fragmented pigment particles effectively.
Can coloured tattoos be removed?
Many coloured tattoos can be treated, although some colours respond differently than others. During your consultation we will assess your tattoo and advise what results may realistically be achieved.
What happens after laser tattoo removal?
The treated area may appear red, slightly swollen or frosted immediately after treatment. This is a normal response and usually settles within a few days. Full aftercare guidance will be provided.
