WHAT IS TATTOO REMOVAL?

Tattoo removal has been performed with various tools since the history of tattooing. While tattoos were once considered permanent, it is now possible to remove them with treatments, fully or partially. Due to technological advancements and intervention, tattoo removal by laser came into life.  It was performed with continuous-wave lasers initially, and later with Q-switched lasers, which became commercially available in the early 1990s. Today, "laser tattoo removal" usually refers to the non-invasive removal of tattoo pigments using Q-switched lasers. Typically, black and other darker-colored inks can be removed completely.

  • Q Switched Tattoo Removal

    The Q7 Q-switch Nd:YAG laser is a good technique to successfully remove unwanted tattoos. Q7 selectively destroys melanin pigment on epidermis level. Removing pigmentation using one or both of the dual wavelength 1064nm and 532nm, depends on the size, colors and location of the tattoo.





  • How Does It Work?

    Lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colors with a high-intensity light beam. Dark tattoo pigment absorbs 1064nm wavelengths, making it the easiest color to treat. Light colors can only be treated by selected lasers based upon the pigment color as 532 nm.





  • Why Should I Choose This Treatment?

    When you are not happy about your decision after making tattoos or when regret getting it.




  • What Body Areas Can Be Treated? How Many Treatments Do I Need?

    All body areas can undergo the laser bleaching treatments safely and effectively except the eye area. Laser hair bleaching can be done once every 4 – 6 weeks and when desired.



  • What Does The Procedure Feel Like?

    It’s uncomfortable, but most patients don’t need anesthesia. Depending on the location of your tattoo, you may want to apply a topical anesthesia cream before.



  • What do I expect before and after the treatment?

    Before Treatment


    Refrain from using bleaching and exfoliating creams for 3 to 4 days prior to the treatment.


    The treated area must be free of any open sores, lesions or skin infection.


    Avoid tanning 1 week before, we cannot treat irritated skin.


    After Treatment


    For laser tattoo removal, the area treated become immediately white. Immediately following the treatment, use an ice pack to soothe the treated area. And apply an antibiotic cream or ointment and bandage to protect it. You should also be sure it is covered with sunblock when you’re outside.


     


    Blistering is common, and will likely occur within 8 hours after your tattoo removal treatment. Do not be alarmed, blisters heal well and are part of the normal healing process. Blisters are an indication that your immune system is healing the area and beginning to remove the ink from your tattoo

    Your tattoo removal site is at risk for infection. And there is a slight chance that you will have a permanent scar.

    It’s unlikely that your tattoo will be completely removed. In many cases, certain colors may be more effectively removed than others. Blue and black tattoos, for example, respond well to laser treatment.

    You may end up with hypopigmentation, which means the skin that is treated is paler than the skin surrounding it. You could also have hyperpigmentation, which leaves the affected skin darker than the rest of your skin.

    Cosmetic tattoos like lip liner, eyeliner, and eyebrows may actually get darker after treatment. They do tend to fade with additional sessions.
