Tattoo Removal

Your Guide to Tattoo Removal

Tattoo RemovalOur Laser Tattoo Removal technology removes unwanted tattoos and pigmented lesions. It emits a highly focused beam of laser light, which passes harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and is absorbed primarily by the tattoo ink or the excess pigment within the lesion.

As the light is absorbed, it is quickly converted to heat. The sudden rise in temperature within the treatment target fractures the ink or pigment into tiny particles. Tattoo ink fragments are carried away by the lymphatic system, while pigmented lesions are naturally shed from the skin one to two weeks after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What kinds of Tattoos and Pigmented Lesions can be treated?
A. A tattoo's colour, depth, and the chemical composition of the ink all affect how it responds to laser light. Black, red, dark orange, and dark blue tattoos will usually respond relatively quickly to treatments.

Green, purple, brown, light orange, and light blue colours may require more treatments. In general, most tattoos can be successfully treated, given a sufficient number of treatments.

A wide range of pigmented lesions can also be treated, including freckles, sunspots, and many browncoloured birthmarks.

   
Q. Does it hurt?
A. Many people compare the sensation of the pulses entering the skin to the snap of a rubber band. If the"snaps" are too uncomfortable, topical or local anesthesia may be necessary.
   
Q. What happens after treatment?
A. Immediately after laser exposure, the treated areas may become whitish-coloured and swell slightly. This whiteness subsides in about 30 minutes.
