Tattoo Removal

From £40

From 30 minutes

Safe, non-invasive removal of tattoos and semi-permanent makeup using ND Yag laser technology


At The Lawson Skin Clinic, we provide advanced laser tattoo removal using the ND Yag laser system — an effective solution for fading or removing unwanted tattoos and semi-permanent makeup. This non-invasive treatment targets the ink beneath the skin without chemicals or surgery.


How It Works


The ND Yag laser emits precise pulses of light that are absorbed by the dark pigments in tattoo ink. These pulses cause the ink to shatter into microscopic fragments, which are then naturally broken down and removed by your body’s immune system over the following weeks.


  • Suitable for both amateur and professional tattoos

  • Can also treat semi-permanent makeup (e.g. eyebrows)

  • Targets pigment with minimal impact on surrounding skin


What to Expect During Treatment


  • A patch test is required at least 3 weeks before your first session

  • A whitening effect (known as “frosting”) may appear temporarily during treatment

  • Aloe vera gel is applied afterwards to soothe the area

  • A sterile dressing and full aftercare guidance are provided

  • Some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure


Number of Sessions


Tattoo removal requires a series of treatments spaced 8 weeks apart to allow full skin healing. The total number of sessions depends on:


  • Tattoo age and size

  • Ink colours (black fades quickest; blue and green may take longer)

  • Depth of pigment and skin type


Full removal is not always guaranteed and depends on ink composition. We also offer partial removal for clients wishing to re-cover tattoos with a new design.

Pricing


Treatments start from £40 per session

Pricing is based on the size and complexity of the tattoo — please contact us to arrange a personalised quote.

  • Medical questionnaire
