Tattoo Removal
We now have the latest technology available designed specifically for tattoo removal that is highly successful in removing ink without scarring.
Can all tattoos be treated?
The great majority of tattoos, whether professional or amateur, respond to our laser treatments.Some pigments, especially green, orange and yellow are more difficult that other colours to eradicate, but even they usually respond following a course of treatment.
Does it hurt?
It can sting a little and feels like having an elastic band flicked against your skin. For sensitive areas we can recommend a topical anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Please contact us for details.
How does it work?
By matching the colour of the laser to the colour of the unwanted tattoo ink, multi-coloured professional tattoos as well as single colour amateur tattoos can be removed safely and effectively.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your tattoo - it's size, colour and the depth of penetration of the ink amongst other factors. An amateur tattoo may need 2-5 treatments. A professional multi-coloured design may need 5-10 or more treatments.
Are there any side effects?
In rare cases pigmentation changes can occur but these are most often only temporary and usually resolve within a few months of treatment. If you prefer we offer to do a test patch to ensure that you can see the results in a small area before going ahead with further treatment.
