Laser HQ is a laser clinic at 4/404 Beach Road in Mairangi Bay on the North Shore, and it says it has been removing tattoos for close to eight years. It uses an Enlighten III picosecond laser with three wavelengths, which the clinic says suits tattoos of all colours. Most tattoos need four to six sessions or more, at least eight weeks apart, and the tattoo must be at least four months old before treatment starts. Numbing is available. The clinic also offers microneedling for fine lines, scarring, acne and pigmentation, a depigmentation treatment for intimate areas, and LED hair removal. Its FIX'D treatment uses a saline solution to draw ink and pigment to the surface of the skin.
Customers describe the work as quick, comfortable and effective. One reviewer had microbladed eyebrows and a pigmentation spot treated, and said it was the quickest and most painless treatment they had tried. Another found the consultation comfortable and is already seeing results. One said the service and pricing were better than a city clinic they had used before. Our pick on the North Shore for tattoo removal from a clinic with a long track record.
