Life changes, and sometimes, so do your tattoo preferences. That’s why we offer safe and effective laser tattoo removal using advanced technology and experienced technicians.
38% of people with body ink have opted to have it removed. Reasons for such a permanent step may include a change of employment, the design is no longer relevant or meaningful, or the artwork has faded over time which, unfortunately, is a long-term consequence for tattoos.
How does our laser tattoo removal work?
Laser Tattoo Removal is the most effective and safest treatment to remove unwanted tattoos from the skin, steadily but surely, over a series of minimally invasive treatments. Believe it or not, it isn’t as uncomfortable as getting inked in the first place!
Our experienced technicians use a high-powered laser emitting pulses of concentrated light with wavelengths specifically targeted to be absorbed by the tattoo ink pigments.
These light pulses penetrate the skin and reach the ink particles where the intense energy causes them to rapidly heat up and shatter into microscopic fragments.
The body’s immune system, primarily macrophages (specialised white blood cells), then identifies and engulfs these tiny ink particles.
Over a series of treatment sessions, macrophages gradually transport the ink fragments through the lymphatic system and ultimately filter them out through the liver and kidneys, effectively removing the tattoo from the skin.
The specific laser wavelength used depends on the ink colour, as different pigments absorb different light frequencies.
Black ink readily absorbs most laser wavelengths, making it easier to remove compared to vibrant green or blue inks that require specialised lasers.
Who is it not suitable for?
The treatment is not recommended for those with the following conditions:
- Pregnancy
- Sun-tanned skin
- Fake tan
Sun tan will have to fade before the treatment can begin.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions (lasting from betweento) required for a successful removal will depend upon the size of the artwork, colour of design, skin type etc.
On average, between 8 to 12 treatments will be necessary for successful results with an overall time frame of between 1 to 2 years from start to finish.
A downtime of/per treatment is necessary for the worked area to heal as temporary blistering or swelling may occur.
