If you are looking to get rid of tattoos quickly and efficiently, get in touch with our friendly and professional staff today. We remove all tattoos including semi permanent makeup including eyebrows and lip liner.
We ensure that our treatments are carried out by qualified specialists and adhere to all safety standards and procedures. The process is repeated several times across 6 to 8 weekly intervals or longer depending on the results. As tattoos vary in size, colour and type, the treatments may vary.
Consultation and Assessment:
The first step is to assess and photograph your tattoo to give you an idea of how much time is needed and how many treatments are required. We always keep you informed as the time estimates may vary.
A Patch Test is done to establish what energy level best suits your skin type to maximise the results.
To prepare for the procedure and get the desired results, you will be required to take the following steps:
• Keep your skin as pale as possible: Avoid the sun and stay off sunbeds for as long as possible prior to the treatment. This is to avoid damaging your natural pigments which could cause permanent damage.
• Eating before the treatment: It is highly recommended to eat a properly balanced meal before the treatment so that your blood sugar levels do not drop.
The Treatment:
The laser is held above the skin and pulses are controlled by the operator. If you wish, you may bring an iPod with you, but it must remain in your pocket throughout and care must be taken that earphones are made of non-reflective materials. You will also be required to wear goggles to protect your eyes.
How the Procedure Works:
The tattoo removal is done with a Q-switched ND/YAG Laser using a process called the "photoacoustic effect". Here the laser energy is absorbed by the tattoo pigment and as a result, an extremely high temperature of thousands of degrees is generated. Since this temperature is not sustainable, it collapses and produces an acoustic wave which forms around the pigments. The result of this wave shatters the particles of ink into smaller fragments which is removed by the body, leaving behind the larger tattoo pigmentation. The remaining ink particles are removed by the same "shattering" effect until they all disappear.
Home-made or amateur tattoos generally require 4-6 repeat sessions while professional tattoos may require 12 or more sessions depending on the amount of ink in the tattoo.
Black ink fades the fastest, although sometimes black ink will be mixed with green and purple to darken. In this case these colours will take longer to fade. Teal Green is the hardest colour to fade.
Tattoos lie in your dermis, which is under your epidermis. The laser is able to fragment (break up) the colour so that it passes through the hypodermis, causing white blood cells to attack and eliminate it naturally. The degree of fading and the amount of treatments needed are dependent on your body chemistry.
The biggest benefit of using the Q-switched laser is that it helps to avoid scarring and lasting tissue damage, causing tattoos to gradually disappear over time.
