Natalie is a bit of a star, but that doesn't mean she wants them all over her thigh
Nearly there with this one. Next appointment booked for 6 months time for some Erbium resurfacing to polish and finish
We've been pinging a lot of warts recently
Many of our customers tell us that they've tried for years to get rid of these things. We generally remove them in 1 or 2 treatments
Here we are 4 weeks after treatment, and still some healing to be done
It’s aggressive but it works
Pinging Kieran's cherry angioma on a Tuesday morning.
We hit his wee vascular lesion 3 times, but it's a bit of a thicc boy and may need another treatment in a few weeks
Wee underboob before and after a few visits to highland laser clinic + a little bit of sunshine
Now the unwanted tattoo is out of sight, out of mind ☀️
Only 8 treatments on this one
Just like that, the worlds shortest piece of sheet music is no more
10 treatments on this one
Taken just after Hollywood Bikini hair removal treatment number 6 and smooth AF
An update on this gentleman who got some hyperpigmentation from his first vein removal session
6 months later and those wee brown marks have completely resolved.
A couple of stubborn veins remain, which we hit for a third time after this pic was taken. It’s not unusual for chunky veins like these to reoccur to some extent, but they typically come back thinner and shorter than before and are far less visible
He is genuinely delighted with his outcome
Just 8 treatments on this wee star, then a long gap for Covid
I think it’s fair to say that tattoo removal isn’t Natalie’s favourite thing in the world, but she’s stuck with it and has the results to show for it
We’re still working on the bigger one on her leg, but we’re in the end game with that now and it won’t be long
This tattoo was done with a cheap Chinese kit off ebay. We've met these before, and the ink is weird. This tattoo went black on the first pass and needed a combination of Ruby 694 and Nd:YAG 1064 Q-Switch laser as part of our advanced SuperStack treatment protocol
An innocuous looking tattoo, but carried some bad memories and needed deleted
Everyone has their own reason for removing a tattoo, and we’re there to help those people
This lady absolutely hated this thing, particularly when people stared at it while they were talking to her
Gone in a single treatment, this picture is taken 8 weeks later
There’s a wee bit of hyperpigmentation at the attachment site, but we would expect this to improve with time, and resurfacing is an option if it is persistent
Erbium laser resurfacing - Trust the process
Recovery is in 1 to 2 weeks and the treatment brings a whole host of benefits:
Reduces signs of aging by promoting collagen production
Improves skin texture, tone, and coloration
Safe and effective with minimal downtime and side effects
Provides long-lasting results for several years
We are continuing to experience a large number of reschedule and cancellation requests at short notice.
We have tried a complicated deposit scheme in attempt to discourage folk who repeatedly change their appointments but it’s a bit confusing and is a lot of work to manage.
After many years we have made the difficult decision to start charging cancellation fees...
We invest in world class equipment to give you the best possible result while keeping you safe
Wee venous lake treatment on this beauty to round the week off
After pic is directly after treatment, good colour change, these often go jet black for a few days. There is some swelling already, but this will resolve fairly quickly.
It might need another ping in 8 weeks, time will tell
The result of our recent training with AES / Quanta after 2 treatments
Our client is very happy she’s lost so many tags. She will be back soon help us refine our techniques
We have now launched this as a service: Skin Tag Removal
Monster wart removal!
I thought this one was going to need 2 or 3 treatments, but gone with one blast
When we kill all that infected material it sloughs off to leave a socket of healthy tissue. It takes a wee bit of time for the skin to remodel and heal that flat, but this is a result of having a massive wart, not the wart removal per se
He had tried lots of other types of treatment to get rid of this thing, none of them worked until he came to us
Great result and a happy man
Training day at Highland Laser Clinic. We were fortunate to have the skilled and lovely Annele from AES taking us through Erbium laser resurfacing with our new Quanta System equipment
And our training model was the lovely Anita who is a dermatology nurse! What a team.
New services coming soon 💙
This lady in for treatment number 2 on her facial thread vein. Great start with marked reduction in redness and focal veins
Will look even better after yesterday's treatment
Get in touch if you want some of these life changing results
9 treatments on Murray's monster tribal to get it to a point where something more fun could be put on top by Neotokyo Tattoo
Perseverance is essential to get the result with these kinds of tattoo
Can't wait to see it finished!
As from today we no longer take American Express
It's expensive, and they're crap at invoicing so we can't be bothered with them any more
Maggie looks like a completely different person. Good to see her today for a top up vein removal treatment 😊
Fun wee job to end the week finishing off this solar lentigo. Great results from her first treatment - she's a happy lady!
One from the archives. We lost track of this gentleman during Covid lockdowns, but pretty sure that tattoo will be completely gone by now
You can continue to get removal of your tattoo for up to 12 months after each treatment
We haven't seen Jennifer for 5 years, but back for some more #tattooremoval, and we gave this one a hit while we were at it. She tells us we’ve changed her life
Thanks for the singing! 🎤💃🏻
Thank you so much to Rachel for coming back to us so we could photograph your flawless removal
Very pleased we got the result for you 💙
Our Ruby laser operating in the 694nm wavelength can remove green and light blue ink that is impossible to treat with conventional Nd:YAG lasers
Tattoos often come with a whole load of baggage and can act as a persistent reminder of people or events that you’d rather leave behind in your past. Becca opened her heart to us about thisto us, and gave us permission to share it publicly.
This lady wanted rid of this for her wedding day, and we pretty much succeeded. Congratulations Marion! 💒
Very nearly gone - we'll give her another treatment in 6 months time and we should be finished then
Boom! ✨
Hand tattoos can be a bit slow, this is a fairly awesome result
Our Pro Camcorder project is complete at last
We made a policy decision to shoot everything in 9 x 16 from here on in, and it's surprisingly complex to rotate a video camera 90 degrees!
If you'd like your treatment videoed and made into a wee film for out socials please let us know 😁
Many thanks to Ffordes Photographic and 3 Legged Thing for all of your support through this 💙
We're in the endgame now - 8 treatments in, a few more to go
If you are wearing similar baggage, come see us and get it sorted. We'll take good care of you
This tattoo probably has had enough laser, we'll review it again in 6 months
We've worked with this gentleman for years removing naive artwork so that he can replace them with quality modern tattoos, great guy
We're back, rested, and ready to attend to all of your laser needs again
Thank you for your patience 💙
11 Treatments in. Wee bit of ink left and some erythema, but that will clear up over the next few months
This ugly thing had basically been carved into his arm
4 laser treatments and an awesome coverup by Tattooholic and you'd never know it was there
Za naszą i waszą wolność ❤️
Treating stick and poke tattoos today. Ciara was great fun
Trad military tattoos are always a challenge, but can be removed with our ruby laser
A bit of hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) is inevitable with all of those colours, but this will reduce and blend over the next couple of years
All in, a great result!
In the last week we have had to turn away 3 clients because they have fake tan or makeup on the areas to be treated or patch tested
We communicate this requirement to you at the time of booking, in your booking confirmation emails, and with each reminder email you receive
If we use lasers on you while wearing fake tan or makeup you would be at a very high risk of adverse reactions and also the treatment wouldn't work
You need to trust us that we are going to provide you with safe and effective treatments. But at the same time we need to trust you that you will cooperate with the treatment plan and listen to what we say
These are the marks of a survivor
Some folk like to keep them in tribute to the hard times, others prefer to move on and erase them
If you are the latter, we treat these for free, as many times as it takes. Get in touch

Non-ablative Q-Switch laser gives great results with low risk & minimal downtime
This lady has responded well from her course of 3 laser facials. We use a non-ablative fractional modality to stimulate skin remodelling and collagenesis
* Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
* Reduce acne scarring
* Give a brighter more even skin tone
* Reduce pore size
* Visibly tighten skin
Follicular oedema - this is a clinical end point for hair removal. In other words, it shows us that the treatment is working!
But don't worry, it only lasts about 30 minutes. By the time we'd finished the other leg it had come down already
Lasers > Razors
We're very proud to have played our small part in this masterpiece by Kenny
Awesome work by the artist, and a brave man to sit for it!
We performed 6 laser treatments to the dodgy dragon over a 12 month period to prepare for the new tattoo. We recommend at least 6 months, and preferably 12 months between laser and your new ink, but that decision is really between you and your artist. Because of lockdown chaos this gentleman actually went 2 years between his last laser and completion of his silverback tattoo.
Jen back to finish off her cherry angioma - great result regardless of it needing another ping today
This mostly revolves around boosting your immune system so it can more effectively remove ink
Cheeky wee thigh tattoo treatment today on this pistol packing femme fatale
Many thanks to Shelley for letting us film her treatment
We have the equipment and the know-how to treat facial threadveins safely and help you to keep looking your best
Many thanks to Anne for letting us film her treatment
We do free umbilicus hair removal with every bikini line, brazilian or hollywood bikini treatment. Doesn't feel like we've done the job properly otherwise!
Many thanks to surfer model Rhiannon for the tummy pic
Undergoing laser procedures is a fairly daunting thing for many people. There’s a whole lexicon of terminologies and brand names and lots of breathless claims about how a provider can radically change your life and fix all of your problems. How do you filter the nonsense from the reality? How do you know you’re getting value for money? How do you know that you’re going to be safe? How do you spot the cowboys?
