![]() However skin pigment changes usually recover. There is a possibility of pigmentation changes as occasionally the skin has been damaged when the tattoo was applied. Very occasionally, mild changes may occur in skin texture. There is normally no lasting damage to the skin. ![]() It is also important to avoid sun exposure through out your course of treatment. For your own safety we can not treat tanned or self tanned skin, the increased melanin can cause hypo pigmentation as well as burning. This usually returns to normal in 6 to 12 months. Darker skinned patients may notice some lightening of the skin (hypo-pigmentation). It is possible for the lasers to be absorbed by skin pigment as well as tattoo ink. It is not possible to produce a laser that can see all colours as some wavelengths are too shallow when absorbed to affect the ink, others can absorb into other matter and damage the skin in the process. The light will only see the colour ink it is attracted to as different wavelengths absorb into different things. The scientific reason for this failure to respond is that the colours do not have a corresponding laser light. Why is it difficult to treat colours other than black & red ? However, these colours are often faded enough so can be hidden with cover up make up. Sometimes these pigments will not disappear at all, despite the use of advance laser technology. Whilst the Indian ink tattoo and red areas in the tattoo may disappear after 3-6 treatments, the other colours may need considerably more treatments. How will my tattoo respond ?īlue-black, black, and red colours in the tattoos are easily removed, Multi-coloured professional tattoos are more difficult to remove completely, brighter & lighter colours such as white, yellow and particually green can be very difficult.

You will notice the tattoo fades more and more with every treatment you have. The light can only shatter a certain amount of ink in one treatment, so several treatments are needed at monthly to 6 weekly intervals to work through the layers. Generally speaking the longer you have had the tattoo and the darker it is, the easier it is to remove. There are several factors that influence the number of treatments required, these can be down to how easily you heal, how deep the ink is in the skin, and the types of ink that were used. Most patients tolerate the discomfort of treatment very well. The pain tends to lessen as treatment progresses and the tattoo ink fades. Some areas are more sensitive than others, such the shoulder blade and ankles. Most patients equate the pain of tattoo removal with the pain of getting the tattoo. The lasers do cause discomfort during treatment, similar to being “snapped” with a rubber band. Usually 1 treatment sessions last between 5 and 40 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo. The infra-red wavelength is preferably absorbed into black and dark blue inks, whereas the green light is absorbed by red ink. There are two wavelengths of light that are emitted from this laser – one is invisible infra-red light and the other is visible green light. As the destruction of the pigment is preferential, minimum damage is caused to the surrounding skin. This energy exposure selectively destroys the foreign pigment contained in the tattoo, breaking it into small pigment particles which are then removed by the body’s immune system. Our laser tattoo removal system works on the principle of selective thermolysis, delivering light quickly and at a very high energy level. The safest and most effective systems available today. These lasers have a proven record of successful tattoo removal.
