Have you been thinking, “I want to remove my tattoo”? If so, you’re not alone — and you’re in the right place. Whether your tattoo reflects a different season of life or simply no longer feels like “you,” tattoo regret is more common than you might think.
At Dr. Luci Clinic in Caringbah, we offer a calm, supportive space where decisions about your skin are always met with professionalism and compassion. If you’re considering tattoo removal, here’s what to expect from a safe, medical setting — and why we believe it matters.
Why People Choose Tattoo Removal
There’s no single reason why someone decides to remove a tattoo. For some, it’s about a fresh start. Others want to fade a tattoo in preparation for a cover-up. Some simply want it gone.
Whatever your reason, it’s valid — and we’re here to help you make an informed choice. At Dr. Luci Clinic, every tattoo removal plan is built on medically sound principles, safety-first protocols, and a personalised approach tailored to your skin.
How Tattoo Removal Works
At our Caringbah clinic, we use advanced, medical-grade laser systems designed to treat a wide range of ink colours and skin types. These lasers work by breaking down the ink particles beneath your skin, which are then gradually removed by your body’s natural processes.
What Affects the Number of Tattoo Removal Sessions?
Several key factors will influence how many treatments you may need:
The colour, depth and type of ink used
The age of the tattoo
The location on the body
Your skin tone, type, and immune response
During your consultation, we’ll discuss all of these and set clear expectations about results and timeframes.
What to Expect From the Process
Laser tattoo removal is a journey, not a quick fix. Most tattoos require multiple treatments, spaced several weeks apart.
Will My Tattoo Disappear Completely?
In some cases, yes. But not always. Lighter colours like yellow, turquoise or certain blues can be more resistant to laser treatment. Your results will depend on the type of ink, your skin, and your body’s healing ability — and we’ll be upfront about all of this.
You may begin to notice tattoo fading after just a few sessions. Softening of pigment is often gradual — and a good sign that your body is responding well.
Does Tattoo Removal Hurt?
The sensation of laser tattoo removal is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. While it’s not pain-free, it’s typically brief and manageable.
At Dr. Luci Clinic, we can discuss ways to minimise discomfort, including topical anaesthetic or cooling options, depending on your skin and treatment area.
Your Safety is Our Priority
Tattoo removal is a medical procedure. Like any treatment involving lasers, there are potential risks — such as changes in pigmentation, incomplete removal, or, in rare cases, scarring.
That’s why every removal journey at our clinic is doctor-led. We provide full consultations, skin assessments, and continuous monitoring to ensure your treatment is as safe and effective as possible.
