Laser tattoo removal: what your initial consultation covers

Removing a tattoo is rarely a spur of the moment decision. You think about it for a long time, you wonder about the price, the number of sessions and the result you might get. The first step should not be an obstacle. At Ray studios, the initial consultation is where you meet a skin therapist, have your tattoo assessed and leave with concrete answers, without having to make up your mind on the spot.

What is the initial consultation?

It is the way into the tattoo removal journey, and the first stage of our RsAP® treatment protocol. A skin therapist looks at your tattoo and your skin, assesses whether the treatment is suitable and explains how the protocol works. By the end of the appointment you have a clear assessment, an estimate of the number of sessions and a precise quote. Nothing is left vague, and nothing commits you to going ahead.

Why the initial consultation matters

Laser tattoo removal is not a casual beauty treatment. The assessment shapes everything that follows: how safely the treatment runs, how precisely it is delivered and how realistic the estimate is. That work needs trained skin therapists, correct laser settings and a controlled environment. This is why we take the time to do it properly before anything else, so you can inform yourself seriously before deciding anything.

How the initial consultation works

The initial consultation is as much about listening as it is about analysis. The skin therapist goes through your history and what you are hoping for, then examines the tattoo. They measure the surface to be treated, look at the density and depth of the pigments, feel the area to gauge the thickness and stability of the tissue, and identify your actual skin type. This information cannot be gathered remotely, and it is what allows the laser to be set correctly. It is also the moment to ask every question you have, rather than saving any for later.

Your assessment and your quote

During the appointment, the skin therapist puts together your assessment. It takes into account where the tattoo sits, the estimated depth of the pigments, the colours involved and your skin type. The assessment is not a guarantee of results, but a realistic basis for planning. Individual results vary. You leave with a quote based on the Full Remove plan: unlimited sessions at a single fixed price, set out in our pricing, alongside your clear diagnosis. One clear picture, with the figures spelled out.

Thorough, not rushed

The initial consultation is not something we rush through. It is carried out by a skin therapist, as is the whole journey at Ray studios, from the first assessment to follow-up between sessions. It is a demanding stage precisely because it matters: a full assessment of the tattoo and the skin, a personalised plan and a protocol adapted to you. The quality of that first meeting is what we want you to judge us on.

An appointment with no obligation

Coming in to find out more does not tie you to anything. You can leave with your quote, take time to think, compare, come back later or not follow up at all. Plenty of people walk through the door simply to understand what is possible with their tattoo. That is exactly what this appointment is for. The decision to start treatment is entirely yours.

Key points

At Ray studios, the initial consultation comes with no obligation. It is carried out by a skin therapist as part of the RsAP® treatment protocol, and it gives you a clear assessment, a clear diagnosis and a precise quote based on the Full Remove plan. It is the simplest way to get real answers before you decide, with no pressure.
