Tattoo Removal - The Facts

Leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists regard laser as the superior method for the safe removal of amateur and professional tattoos.

How does the laser work?

Tattoo ink particles are too large for the bodys immnue system to remove naturally. By passing a very short pulse of high power laser light through the skin, the tattoo ink is broken into smaller particles, which the body is able to remove.

How many treatments are required to remove a tattoo?

Most amateur tattoos require 3-6 treatment sessions at monthly intervals. Most professional require 6-12 treatment sessions at monthly intervals.

How long does it take and does it hurt?

Typical treatment sessions last between 5-40 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo. The lasers do cause some discomfort during treatment, similair to being 'snapped' with a rubber band. Most patients equate the pain of a tattoo removal wth the pain of getting a tattoo. Some areas are more sensitive than others, such as ankles and the shoulder blade. The pain tends to decrease as the treatment progresses and the tattoo ink fades. Most patients tolerate the discomfort of the treatment very well with our special 'chill cooled' lasers.

Are there any after-affects following the treatment?

Redness and swelling may occur, similair to sunburn. This settles within a few days. Some patients may blister, which is quite normal and does not indicate potential scarring. Blistering does not require treatment and will usually clear within days.

Does the treatment scar?

Our lasers are Q-switched, which means the lasers deliver high power in a very short pulse (25 billionths of a second!) There is normally no lasting damage to your skin. Very occasionally mild changes in skin texture may occur.

Will the skin be normal when the treatment is finished?

Lasers and KTP lasers are absorbed by the skin pigment as well as tatoo ink. Darker skinned patients may notice some lightening of the skin (depigmentation). This usually returns to normal in 6-12 months. We tend to limit treatment for darker skinned patients to the NdYAG laser as the risk of pigment change is less.
