If you're considering removing an unwanted tattoo, one of the first questions you're probably asking is: how much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The answer depends on several factors, including the size of your tattoo, the colours and density of the ink, its age and how it responds to treatment.
At The Glow Bar Laser Studio in Dublin 22, we offer laser tattoo removal with pricing based primarily on tattoo size, so you'll know the cost of your treatment before getting started.
How much does tattoo removal cost in Dublin?
Laser tattoo removal prices in Dublin can vary between clinics and according to the tattoo being treated.
At The Glow Bar, our tattoo removal treatments are divided into size categories, from Micro through to XL. Individual sessions are available, alongside treatment packages for clients planning multiple sessions.
Your tattoo is assessed during your consultation and free patch test, where we can confirm the appropriate size category and discuss your treatment plan.
What affects the cost of laser tattoo removal?
Two tattoos that look similar can respond very differently to laser treatment. Factors that can influence the treatment journey include the tattoo's size, ink density, colours, age, location on the body and whether it was professionally or amateur applied.
Previous laser tattoo removal sessions can also affect how a tattoo presents when you come to us.
This is why we assess each tattoo individually rather than promising a fixed number of sessions before treatment begins.
How many laser tattoo removal sessions will I need?
There isn't one number that applies to everyone.
Some tattoos fade considerably over a course of treatments, while others can require more sessions. Your body's response and the characteristics of the tattoo both play a part.
Laser tattoo removal is a process, and adequate healing time between treatments is important.
At your consultation, we'll assess the tattoo and explain what you can realistically expect from your treatment journey.
Is a tattoo guaranteed to disappear completely?
No reputable laser clinic should guarantee that every tattoo will disappear completely.
The aim of treatment may be significant fading, preparation for a cover-up or, where achievable, as much removal as possible. Results vary according to the tattoo and the individual.
We'd rather give you realistic expectations from the beginning than promise a result that can't be guaranteed.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Laser tattoo removal can feel uncomfortable, although treatments themselves can be relatively quick, particularly for smaller tattoos.
The sensation is often described as a series of quick snaps against the skin. Your experience will depend partly on the size and location of your tattoo and your individual sensitivity.
We'll explain the treatment process and aftercare during your appointment.
Can I remove a tattoo for a cover-up?
Absolutely. Not everybody coming for tattoo removal wants their tattoo completely gone.
Some clients simply want to fade an existing tattoo sufficiently for their tattoo artist to create a new cover-up.
If that's your goal, tell us at your consultation. Your treatment plan doesn't necessarily need to have complete removal as the end goal.
What about eyebrow and permanent makeup tattoo removal?
We also offer eyebrow PMU removal in Dublin.
Permanent makeup pigments can behave differently from traditional tattoo ink, so these treatments require appropriate assessment before proceeding.
If you're considering removing or fading old permanent makeup, you can book a consultation and patch test first.
