The next logical question – how much does laser tattoo removal in Sydney cost?

Well, as you would expect – not all tattoos are created equal when it comes to determining the laser tattoo removal price. A few different categories of variables need to be taken into account when determining how much does laser tattoo removal cost. The laser tattoo removal price is factored around how many visits and treatments you’ll need to remove the tattoo to your satisfaction.

Primarily, the laser tattoo removal price is determined by the size of your tattoo. Sounds reasonable – the bigger the tattoo the more ink there is to be removed. Size does matter!!

However, as well as the size of the tattoo, a number of other things will influence the number of visits and laser treatments you will require. We all have a ‘skin type’. Some of us are fair skinned, others have darker skin types. The darker your skin the more melanin (a skin pigment) you have and the more difficult it may be to shift that ink. The laser targets pigment that’s in the tattoo dye, but it can also target melanin in your skin. So, the darker your skin, the more complicated it may be to utilise a laser to remove the tattoo. Result – laser tattoo removal Sydney cost will be influenced by a greater number of treatments.

As the removal of the fractured pigments is determined by the body’s lymphatic system – the laser breaks down ink particles that are carried away by the bodies immune system – the further the tattoo is away from the heart, like your foot or hand, the harder it is to remove these pigments and the more treatments you’ll need. Result – laser tattoo removal price will probably be higher.

When you get a tattoo, the different colours that are used will sit at different levels beneath the skin’s surface. The amount of ink used is also a contributing factor. When an old tattoo is reworked or hidden by another tattoo, the old tattoo pigments will sit at a deeper layer, meaning more treatments will be required. Also, contributing to the laser tattoo removal price will be who did the tattoo. Professional tattoos often require more visits as the ink tends to be embedded deeper in the skin and more colours are used than amateur tattooists.
