Laser Tattoo Removal is seen as the safest mode of tattoo removal. At Absolute Cosmetic Medicine we offer both PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal and Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Tattoo Removal.
The Picosure laser is the gold standard in coloured tattoo removal technology. We had the first PicoSure machine in Western Australia and have performed thousands of sessions resulting in extremely positive feedback from our patients.

The laser works by delivering energy to the tattoo, breaking the ink particles into smaller pieces. The particles are eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system resulting in a lightening of the tattoo ink.
To completely remove the tattoo you will need multiple sessions. During these sessions, the ink particles gradually become smaller.
Many say that the feeling is similar to the feel of getting a tattoo but much faster. We have multiple options to reduce discomfort including numbing cream and gas.
The number of laser treatments required will depend on a number of factors including:
Yes, not all patient’s desired results are to completely remove their tattoo. PicoSure is one of the best options for those looking to lighten a tattoo before a cover-up. This is due to the fact that PicoSure works to gradually lighten the tattoo rather than destroying it.
The cost of Laser Tattoo Removal depends on the size of the Tattoo. Prices start from $149 per session with our experienced Cosmetic Nurses. Complimentary consultations are available to offer a quote for both Nd:YAG and PicoSure Tattoo Removal services.
There are many types of laser machines that can remove tattoos. We have seen positive results from both Nd:YAG and PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal.
The main advantage of Picosure is extremely short-pulse time. This allows very high energy to be delivered rapidly to the tattoo pigment. It destroys the pigment more effectively and in most cases, leaves the skin intact. This means fewer treatments, fewer complications and better results.
We recommend that those who are interested in Laser Tattoo Removal book a complimentary consultation to go over the different options and obtain a quote. There is no obligation to book treatment after the consultation.
A common side effect of a laser session is a slight whitening or ‘frosting’ of the skin which may feel dry and itchy. Some other side effects include mild swelling and redness some may experience slight blistering and pinpoint bleeding for a few days after the treatment. There is a small risk of scarring, however, this risk is very low.
Every tattoo is unique and contains different colours and different volumes of ink. It’s important to speak with one of our doctors to find out how many treatments you may need, and what to expect.
With Picosure, the number of treatments is generally expected to be roughly half of that required for alternative laser removal.
*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
