The best laser, It is important when choosing your tattoo removal specialist to remember that not all lasers are created equal. Their clinic is equipped with the latest Polaris active Q-Switched Nd Yag Laser. The active part means it's more powerful than tabletop passive Q-switched lasers. More power = fewer sessions. This powerful laser is able to penetrate deep into the skin to break up even the most stubborn ink particles without damaging the surrounding skin.

The Polaris Q-Switched Nd: Yag laser produces pulses of energy that are very short but high in power. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo but not the surrounding skin.

Friendly and cosy clinic making sure clients are looked after throughout their tattoo journey from start to finish and delivering the best results.
