How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Laser tattoo removal delivers controlled energy into the skin to break tattoo pigment into tiny particles. Your body then clears the fragmented pigment gradually over the following weeks.
In Chorley, we use Pico laser technology for precision and multi-wavelength capability, helping us treat a wide range of tattoo styles and many colours. We’ll advise whether Pico is recommended for your tattoo.
- Targets stubborn black ink and many colours.
- Supports effective fading for cover-ups or full removal goals.
- Minimal impact to surrounding skin when protocols and aftercare are followed.
- Suitable for body, face & scalp with the correct protocols.
Most clients need multiple sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow healing and natural clearing between treatments.
Pre-Treatment & Aftercare
Before Your Appointment
- Avoid sun exposure and fake tan on the area for at least 2 weeks.
- Do not wax, pluck or use hair-removal creams on the area for 4 weeks.
- Keep skin clean and free from makeup, moisturiser or perfume on the day.
- Let us know about any new medications or health changes before treatment.
After Tattoo Removal
You may see redness, swelling or mild blistering in the treated area – this is normal.
- Keep the area clean and dry for the first 3–7 days.
- Apply the recommended healing ointment from Day 3 as instructed.
- Avoid sun, saunas, hot tubs, swimming and heavy workouts for 7–10 days.
- Do not pick scabs or blisters – this can increase the risk of scarring.
- Use SPF 30+ on the area once healed between sessions.

Tattoo Removal FAQs
How does Pico laser tattoo removal work?
Pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses that break ink into tiny particles. Your body then gradually clears the pigment over the following weeks. Multiple wavelengths help target different colours and depths.
How many sessions will I need?
Most body tattoos need around 6–10 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Smaller or lighter tattoos may clear faster, while dense or multi-colour designs can take longer. Eyebrow tattoos and SMP are reviewed after each session to decide how far to go.
How long between tattoo removal sessions?
A gap of at least 6–8 weeks is usually recommended to allow healing and give your body time to clear broken-down pigment.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
Most people describe it as a quick, hot elastic snap. Treatments are short and we use cooling and pacing to keep you comfortable. We can pause whenever you need.
Can you remove coloured ink?
Yes — multi-wavelength Pico can target black, dark blue, red, some greens and other colours. Some pigments (especially very bright or white-based inks) can be more stubborn, so we’ll explain what’s realistic for your tattoo.
Will it scar?
With appropriate settings and good aftercare, the risk of scarring is low. Pre-existing scar tissue, very old amateur tattoos, or poor aftercare can increase risk — we’ll discuss this honestly in consultation.
Is tattoo removal safe for eyebrow tattoos and cosmetic pigment?
When patch tests and protocols are followed, Pico can be used to fade eyebrow tattoo pigment and other cosmetic tattoo work. The goal is to reduce unwanted pigment while protecting surrounding skin and natural hair as much as possible.
Is fungal nail laser treatment safe?
Yes — it’s non-invasive and targets the nail bed rather than the bloodstream, so there are no tablet-style side effects. We’ll check your medical history and give clear aftercare and home hygiene guidance.
