Laser Tattoo Removal and Carbon Facials in Hervey Bay: Fade Unwanted Ink and Refresh Your Skin
Skin + Wax Clinic offers laser tattoo removal and carbon facials in Pialba, Hervey Bay, using a Super Lux Pro YAG laser. The laser gradually breaks up tattoo ink over multiple sessions, and the same laser is used for carbon facials to treat the skin’s surface. Results vary, and we’ll always give you an honest view of what’s realistic, with no judgement about your tattoo.
What is it?
Laser tattoo removal uses short pulses of light energy from our Super Lux Pro YAG laser to break tattoo ink into smaller particles. Your body then gradually clears them away. It happens over a series of sessions, not all at once.
A carbon facial (carbon laser peel) starts with a carbon-based lotion applied to your skin. The laser is then used to treat the skin’s surface.
What does it treat?
Laser tattoo removal is for unwanted tattoos. Results depend on ink colour, depth, age, size and your skin. Our laser can’t treat green and blue ink. We can remove cosmetic brow tattoos, but not eyeliner or lip tattoos.
Carbon facials are commonly discussed for oily skin, enlarged pores and dullness. Results vary from person to person.
What to expect
For tattoo removal, your first step is a free consultation, which is required before treatment. It can normally be done by email if you send us photos of your tattoo. We’ll look at your tattoo, talk through your goals and explain what’s realistic. No patch test is needed. During treatment, the laser is applied over the tattoo in short pulses. Sensations vary between people and depend on the size and placement of the tattoo. Your treatment is performed by Jessica Barker (fully qualified and licensed), Tammy Wakely or Joanne Hayward.
For a carbon facial, the lotion is applied to your skin and the laser is then used over the area.
Healing and aftercare are explained at your appointment, so you’ll know how to look after your skin afterwards.
How many sessions?
Tattoos generally need multiple sessions, with at least 6 to 8 weeks between each one. The number depends on ink colour, depth, age, size and your skin, and we can’t promise a specific number or outcome. We’ll talk through a realistic plan with you.
Carbon facials: you can have a single session or a course of three or four, depending on your skin and goals.
Is it suitable for me?
All skin tones are normally suitable for laser tattoo removal, and the minimum age is 18. Laser treatments aren’t suitable for everyone, and we’ll tell you honestly if it isn’t right for you. Please tell your therapist about:
- Medications you take

Complete tattoo removal isn’t guaranteed. Whatever your reason for wanting a tattoo gone, there’s no judgement here.
