People are more interested than ever before in tattoo removal and with today’s advanced laser technology, tattoos no longer have to be permanent.
We use medical grade lasers to remove your tattoo to ensure you achieve the best results possible. We strive to provide first-class service to all our clients, including a professional and in-depth consultation to ensure you get the best results possible during your treatment with us, as well as an aftercare plan.
Why choose us?
We use the most effective technology with multiple wavelengths available and can achieve fantastic results for our clients.
How does it work?
Lasers work by directing energy towards ink in the skin with highly concentrated coloured light beams. These laser beams break up ink particles into tiny fragments which are later cleared up by the body’s scavenging cells.
The laser emits a pulse of light that is preferentially absorbed into certain colours of ink. The light enters the skin at a speed that is too fast to heat the tissues (billionths of a second), instead, it produces a ‘shock wave’ effect and breaks up the ink particles into smaller pieces, the body then recognises these particles as something that shouldn’t be there and attacks it. The particles are then removed naturally via the body’s own immune system.
This process of fragmenting the ink particles requires numerous sessions depending on the depth of the ink. The laser selectively targets the pigment in the tattoo and not the surrounding skin. The treatment can start to work after just one session however you may not see this straight away as it takes at least 5-6 weeks for the ink to disperse naturally.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN MY CONSULTATION AND APPOINTMENT?
Your treatment will start with up to 60 minute free consultation. Here we will assess your skin and tattoo to determine which treatment will be best suited to you and your needs.
If you are suitable for laser treatment, a patch test* will be required, the laser(s) will be used on a very small part of your tattoo. This is in order to make sure that there are no abnormal reactions from your skin to the laser, or to the broken down products of the ink.
Our consultations are completely free with no-obligation.
At least a week after the patch test you may have your first full session. Your appointment will last between 15 to 60 minutes. Each session will be between 6-8 weeks apart to allow for healing of the area.
Can multi-coloured tattoos be removed?
Yes, we have on site several Laser systems with multiple wavelengths needed to treat coloured ink.
Do I have to avoid anything afterwards?
The skin will be sensitive for a short time afterwards so you need to avoid the treated area being rubbed or scratched, keeping the treatment site away from sunlight will help and avoid activities like swimming and intense exercise for the first 24-48 hours post treatment.
