Tattoo Removal Services
Welcome to Dermal Aesthetic Clinic, where I, Aesthetic Nurse Joanna, specialise in
providing personalised and professional tattoo removal treatments. As an independent
practitioner, I take pride in offering a one-on-one service tailored to your unique needs.
Whether you’re looking to completely remove a tattoo or lighten it for a cover-up, I am here
to guide you through the process with care and expertise.

My Approach
Every tattoo and skin type is unique, and I believe in creating customised treatment plans to
ensure the best possible results. Using advanced laser technology, I target unwanted ink while
prioritising your comfort and the health of your skin.

What to Expect
Complimentary Consultation:
Your journey begins with a one-hour complimentary consultation with me. During this
session, I will assess your tattoo, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan tailored to
your skin type and tattoo characteristics.

Advanced Laser Technology:
I use state-of-the-art laser equipment to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles that your
body naturally eliminates over time. This approach ensures safe and effective tattoo removal.
Customised Treatment Sessions:
I adjust each session based on your tattoo’s size, colour, location, and your skin’s response,
ensuring optimal results while allowing for proper healing between treatments.

Why Choose Me?

Personalised Care: As a one-woman business, you’ll receive my full attention and
expertise throughout your tattoo removal journey.
Expertise and Experience: With my specialised knowledge, I ensure every treatment
is performed with precision and care.
Cutting-Edge Technology: I use advanced laser technology that effectively targets a
variety of ink colours.
Comfort and Safety: Your safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work closely
with you to minimise discomfort and maximise results.

Frequently Asked Questions
1: How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the tattoo’s size, colour, depth, and location. During your
consultation, I’ll provide an estimate based on your specific tattoo.

2: Is the process painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. To
ensure your comfort, I offer options to manage discomfort during the session.

3: Can all tattoos be removed?
While most tattoos can be lightened or removed entirely, some colours may require additional
sessions. My advanced laser technology is effective for a wide range of pigments.

Aftercare and Results
After each session, I’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions to support proper healing
and ensure the best possible results. Improvements are gradual, with visible progress after
every session.

Why Only A5 Size per Session?
When laser technology breaks down tattoo ink, the particles are absorbed into the lymphatic
system and processed by the body. These particles are then eliminated naturally through
waste, either via urination or defecation, as part of the body’s detoxification process.
Treating areas larger than A5 in one session can overwhelm the lymphatic system, slowing
the elimination process and potentially causing unnecessary strain on the body. By limiting
the treatment size, I ensure your body has adequate time to process and safely remove the ink
particles without compromising your overall health.

Pricing and Treatment Guidelines
Tattoo removal pricing at Dermal Aesthetic Clinic is based on the size of the area being
treated, with sessions limited to a maximum of A5 size per treatment (equivalent to the size
of half an A4 sheet of paper). This restriction is in place to ensure your body can safely
process and eliminate the broken-down ink particles.

A5 $230 per session
A6 $180 per session
A7 $150 per session
A8 $130 per session
A9 $120 per session
A10 $99 per session

Save with Tattoo Removal Packages
To help make your tattoo removal journey more affordable, I offer package options that
allow you to save money on multiple sessions. These packages are tailored to your treatment
plan, ensuring cost-effective solutions without compromising on the quality of care. During
your consultation, I’ll discuss the best package options to suit your needs and budget.
