How tattoo removal works

The laser breaks down ink particles beneath the skin, allowing your body to naturally flush them out — ideal for fully removing or fading a tattoo for a cover-up.

  • Tailored to your tattoo size, depth and skin type
Good to know

Tattoo removal in Preston — your questions

How much does tattoo removal cost in Preston?
At The Skinician our laser tattoo removal is priced by tattoo size, per session: £40 for tattoos 1–3 inches, £55 for 3–5 inches and £85 for 5 inches and above. Your consultation and £5 patch test confirm the exact price for your tattoo, and we offer flexible payment plans.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a warm elastic band flicking the skin. Each session is short, and our advanced cooling technology keeps you comfortable throughout. Lauren talks you through exactly what to expect at your consultation and patch test.
How many sessions will I need to remove my tattoo?
It varies with the ink, depth, age and colour of your tattoo. As a guide, amateur tattoos often need fewer sessions than professional work, and full removal typically takes several sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart. If you only want to fade a tattoo ready for a cover-up, fewer sessions are needed. Lauren gives you a realistic session estimate at your consultation.
What laser do you use for tattoo removal?
We use a Polaris Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064nm). Q-switched technology delivers energy in extremely short pulses that shatter tattoo ink into tiny particles your body then clears naturally, targeting the ink while protecting the surrounding skin.
Is laser tattoo removal safe, and who carries it out?
Your treatment is carried out one-to-one by Lauren McVittie, a fully certified laser specialist, in a private Preston clinic. Every client has a £5 patch test before treatment begins, so we can check your skin and plan your sessions safely.
Do I need a patch test before tattoo removal?
Yes. Before your first treatment we carry out a patch test with Lauren for £5, so we can check how your skin responds and plan your sessions safely. You’ll get an exact price for your tattoo at the same time. Book online or call 01772 915 865.
