Laser tattoo removal before & after
CLIENT LOVE
What our clients say
“I’ve now had five laser sessions to remove a tattoo on the back of my shoulder, and I couldn’t be happier with the results so far!
I was initially quite nervous about what to expect, but Emma has been absolutely amazing. She’s so friendly, professional and has made me feel completely at ease from the very first appointment.
I’ve already had so many comments about how much my tattoo has faded after just five sessions! It was also easily covered by my make-up artist on my wedding day, which was a huge bonus.
I would highly recommend Emma to anyone considering laser tattoo removal. Thank you for making the whole experience so positive! ❤️” — Nikki, Google review ★★★★★
“I went to Emma to have a tattoo removed ahead of my wedding, and she has been absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she talked me through how the laser works and was honest and realistic about the process and how long it would take.
The laser she uses is so gentle on the skin, and each session has been super quick and easy. We’re now nearly at the end of the treatment, and the difference is incredible!
I couldn’t be happier with the results or the experience. Emma has been fantastic throughout, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering laser tattoo removal! ❤️” — Sarah Barber, Google review ★★★★★

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL EXPLAINED
About Laser Tattoo Removal
HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?
Laser tattoo removal works by breaking tattoo ink into tiny particles, which your body's immune system then gradually clears away. We use the Undo PMU Face & Body Q-Switched laser, and you wear protective goggles throughout. The ink keeps fading between sessions, so your tattoo can be removed completely or lightened ready for a cover-up.
YOUR CONSULTATION & PATCH TEST
At our private studio in Surbiton, we start by talking through what you'd like — complete removal, or lightening for a cover-up — and look closely at your tattoo. Colour matters: black and dark blue respond best, red and orange usually fade well, while green, light blue and yellow are the hardest and may fade rather than clear. White and skin-tone inks can darken. Results also depend on the size and age of the tattoo and how deep the ink sits, so we plan your sessions around you. Your patch test is done at least 48 hours before your first session.
YOUR LASER SESSIONS
Sessions take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your tattoo. Numbing cream isn't used — most clients describe a quick snapping feeling, like a rubber band against the skin. Sessions are at least 6 weeks apart, and the ink keeps fading between them as your body clears it. Body tattoos usually need more sessions than brows; Emma will estimate yours at your consultation.
