Our Pricing

It’s impossible to predict how many treatments you are going to need until the process is started, our doctor can discuss some of the factors and make an approximate estimate for you when you come in for your first consultation. The above photo with multiple pictures of the same forearm tattoo shows the fading of a tattoo after 9 treatments, and how the tattoo looked after each of the nine treatments. This is an average result for a professionally done single ink colour tattoo and can help you get an idea of how many treatments you may need. There are lots of other factors that can alter the progress and we can’t always predict them. Please understand we have successfully treated hundreds of tattoos and we always try to give an honest and realistic estimate based upon the actual appearance of your tattoo. Most of our competitors simply offer a vague and unrealistic statement such as “in as few as four treatments”. The only time a tattoo fades in just 4 treatments is with very old and amateur tattoos and we think it’s dishonest to offer this kind of estimate for a professional solid ink tattoo. We have seen literally dozens of clients who started at other clinics due to dishonest estimates at the other clinics and after very little progress and a lot of wasted money decided to come and see us to get their tattoo treated properly.

Tattoos on the fingers and feet usually take more treatments to clear (because the lymphatic drainage is not as good as in other parts of the body). Tattoos with more ink due to redos, cover-ups or solid multicolour designs usually take longer. Amateur tattoos and ink from more than 20 years ago usually take fewer treatments.

When it comes to comfort, you would need to discuss specifics with your practitioner, however, most clients manage using either our ice roller or our icy cold air blower (called a Zimmer cooler). Getting the skin very cold takes a lot of the sting out of the laser treatment. Another option which a lot of clients like is to come in with topical local anaesthetic (which they applied on the tattoo themselves about an hour before their appointment). Please come in for a consultation with us to get more information on this. We sell topical local anaesthetic cream, or you can buy it from most pharmacies.

Don’t forget that topical numbing creams are medications and they can have extremely severe side effects, especially if too much is used. You must only use topical numbing creams that have been supplied to you by a doctor, a nurse practitioner, or a pharmacist and you must follow thier instructions on how much is safe to use.

A consultation with one of our practitioners costs just $30 and you can learn a lot about the treatment process and expected results. When you book you will need to pay us $30 deposit to secure your booking. This deposit is forfeit if you do not courteously advise us of your need to cancel or reschedule with more than 24 hours notice. If you decide to proceed to treatment on the same day as your consultation this $30 fee will be deducted from the cost of your first treatment.

Once you start Laser Tatto removal your tattoo and skin in the area is likely to change significantly. Inks can change colours, they can react with the skin and form lumps, the tattoo can become blurry. There is no guarantee that it will be possible to remove all of the ink, even if you return for dozens of treatments. It is very imporant to visit a reputable clinic with a high quality laser and to get all the information you can before making a decision to start this type of treatment.

• Numbing (topical anaesthetic) cream
  Numbing cream can be purchased separately from us or from most pharmacies. It will work best if it is kept covered so it doesn’t dry out and it needs to be on for at least 60 minutes before the treatment. There are limits to how much can be applied safely, please follow the instructions carefully and only use cream bought from a pharmacy or a medical clinic
• Numbing (local anaesthetic) injections
  For the best possible comfort, we can numb your tattoo with local anaesthetic injections (subject to medical assessment and prescription). Due to the extra time and consumable costs, there is a surcharge for this service equal to an additional 20% on the cost of the tattoo laser treatment.
• Dressings
  If there is blistering after treatment we will give you advice on how best to care for the area while it heals. This may include the use of dressings, bandages and ointments that are not included in the cost of your treatment.
• Stratamed
  Stratamed is an advanced film-forming wound dressing specifically developed to help wounds heal faster and to help prevent abnormal scarring. Our clients who use Stratamed after their laser tattoo reduction treatments report faster recovery, fewer side effects and faster ink fading. Depending on the size of the tattoo being treated a single tube might be all that is needed for all of your tattoo treatments.

There are no Medicare or private health fund rebates for these consultations or treatments.

When you are choosing your clinic for your tattoo removal treatments please make sure the clinic has a laser license and only has laser licensed medical doctors or laser licensed registered nurses or skin therapists with a current WA laser license exemption who are performing your treatments (which is required by law in Western Australia). Please also make sure your clinic is experienced at doing these treatments and are using a proper medical grade laser. You should also ask to see actual results that the clinic has achieved themselves.
