Laser Tattoo Removal Sydney
At Cosmetic Doctors, Skin and Hair Clinic, we provide professional laser tattoo removal in Sydney using advanced picosecond and Q-switched laser technology, designed to progressively fade or fully remove unwanted tattoos with a strong focus on patient safety and clinical outcomes. Whether you're looking for complete tattoo removal, partial fading in preparation for a cover-up design, or cosmetic tattoo correction, our treatment plans are individually tailored — accounting for your tattoo's size, ink depth, colours, age, and your specific skin type on the Fitzpatrick scale.
Laser Tattoo Removal in Sydney
We manage a full range of tattoo concerns across our Sydney clinic, including:
- Unwanted body tattoos — small, medium, large and extra-large tattoos in single or multi-colour
- Cosmetic tattoo removal Sydney patients frequently seek — including eyebrow tattoo removal, lip blush tattoo removal, eyeliner tattoo removal, and other semi-permanent makeup corrections
- Tattoo fading for patients planning a redesign or cover-up — lightening existing work to give a new artist a clean foundation
- Tattoo revision — targeted treatment of specific sections rather than full removal
- Old or amateur tattoos — amateur tattoos, where ink sits less deeply in the dermis, often respond faster than professionally applied work
Our service covers patients across greater Sydney, including those looking for tattoo removal in western Sydney, Narellan, Cremorne, North Sydney, Miranda, North Shore, Lindfield, Frenchs Forest, Petersham, Vaucluse, Annandale, and Belrose.
Why Choose Tattoo Removal?
Advanced Laser Technology
We use modern laser systems, including picosecond laser and Q-switched Nd:YAG technology, to target different tattoo ink colours effectively across wavelengths — 1064nm for black and dark inks, 532nm for red and orange, and 755nm for stubborn blue and green pigments.
Suitable for Different Skin Types
Laser settings are adjusted according to the Fitzpatrick scale, allowing safe treatment across a wide range of skin tones while managing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Progressive Fading
Tattoo removal occurs gradually over multiple treatment sessions as the body's immune system clears fragmented ink particles through the lymphatic system, supporting safer outcomes and better ink clearance.
Professional Medical Care
All procedures are performed under medical supervision and align with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) standards and NSW Health regulations.
Post-Treatment Recovery
Most patients can return to daily activities shortly after treatment, though the treated area requires specific aftercare during the healing phase.

How Tattoo Removal Works
Laser energy targets tattoo ink chromophores through selective photothermolysis, shattering ink particles without significantly affecting surrounding skin. Different wavelengths are used to treat various ink colours, such as black, blue, green and red. Because tattoos sit deep within the dermis, multiple sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart are required to achieve optimal results.
1. Consultation and Assessment
Your practitioner assesses tattoo size, colours, ink depth, age and skin type to create a tailored treatment plan and provide an honest estimate of sessions and laser tattoo removal cost.
2. Laser Treatment
The laser is applied to the tattooed area. A frosting reaction is visible during treatment as ink particles fragment. Sensation varies and pain management options are discussed during consultation.
3. Healing and Aftercare
The treated area undergoes a natural healing response. Aftercare instructions are provided to support recovery, protect the area from sun exposure, and minimise potential side effects.
