TATTOO REMOVAL

Tattooing has become increasingly popular among people of all ages around the world and thus a growing need for tattoo modification has risen. Tattoos that may once have represented a special relationship or a different stage in life can later become a source of regret. On some occasions, tatoo removal is requested simply in order to fade the ink for the application of a new tattoo. Our advanced Q switched Lynton laser system offers a highly effective solution for fading and removing unwanted tattoos safely and precisely.

How it works –

The laser light is absorbed by the tattoo pigment, causing it to heat so rapidly that it shatters and breaks down into much smaller fragments. The body’s white blood cells are then able to remove these smaller ink particles via the lymph system. This process continues for moths following each treatment.

Number of treatments required –

Amateur tattoos – Typically 1 – 6 treatments

SPMU (semi permanent make-up) -Typically 6 – 8 treatments

Professional tattoos – Typically 8 – 12 treatments

Treatments are carried out every 8 – 12 weeks

What to expect  –

The sensation of this treatment is described as a hot pin prick. Treatment can be uncomfortable but rest assured people tolerate the treatment well.

After treatment the area may look red,swollen or feel warm. You might also see some whitening (known as frosting). This will all settle within a few hours.

The treatment area will feel tender for a few hours and may be red and swollen for up to 48 hours.

Some tattoos will form scabs these must fall off naturally. The underlying skin may remain red for a few days to several weeks.

It is important to apply an spf 50 on the area between treatments.

A consultation must be booked to discuss medical history and check suitability for treatment, a patch test will also be performed.
