After an 18 year career as a prison officer Chris Mason founded the company in 2014, following training as a laser tattoo removal technician. He began his company removing tattoos at home and then migrated to a business unit Middlesbrough.

Now the business has moved after grabbing the opportunity to expand into larger premises on Park Road in their hometown. Chris adds: “Parking is a more convenient for clients and the salon is better to locate and access.”

And what is on offer has grown into one of the most comprehensive and professional organisations in the region.

Ink Doctor Derma Medic can carry out laser hair removal, tattoo removal, advanced facials, beauty treatments, fat freeze treatments, removal of skin lesions, SPMU removal, HIFEM body contouring, thread vein removal, laser facials, micro-needling, Rf face/body and hair dressing.

Chris is proud of how the business has grown and thinks the secret has been in listening to customers: “We are different to other salons and businesses as we vary our treatments to suit everyone. We take pride in ensuring we are giving the best to our clients.”

Ink Doctor Derma Medic has disability-friendly accessibility and are LGBTQ friendly, specialising in trans and non-binary treatments as a member of the TransFriendly business directory.

Offers can be seen regularly on their website or via their socials, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Part of the attraction of the new premises was that customers can have three hours free parking at the Middleton Grange shopping centre which is located directly across the road.
