Unwanted Tattoo & Cosmetic Tattoo Removal in Canberra
A tattoo that no longer feels like you can be hard to live with. Whether you want it gone or ready for something new, we'll plan the next chapter with you.
Tastes change, relationships end, and a design that meant everything at 19 might not fit the person you are now. Or maybe you're dreaming of a new design and need the old one faded first. Whatever your reason, you deserve care without judgement.
At Skin Wellness Academy, laser tattoo removal starts with a patch test and a plan made for your tattoo and your skin.
How we help
All tattoo removal clients start with a patch test appointment, so your clinician can check how your skin and ink respond. Your clinician then treats the tattoo with the appropriate wavelength for the ink colours, and between sessions your body gradually flushes away the ink particles. How many sessions you need depends on your tattoo.
