Advanced ND:YAG Laser Technology for Superior Results

Our cutting-edge Laser Tattoo Removal treatment utilises state-of-the-art ND:YAG laser technology to effectively and safely remove unwanted tattoos. This revolutionary treatment can successfully target all tattoo colours, including traditionally difficult-to-remove dark and bright pigments, as well as red and brown inks. The treatment is equally effective for both traditional and semi-permanent tattoos, with visible results noticeable after just one session.

How It Works

Our advanced ND:YAG applicator harnesses sophisticated technology to deliver precise, powerful results:

  • The laser delivers quick, intense pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin to reach the tattoo pigment
  • These powerful pulses shatter the ink particles into microscopic fragments
  • Your body’s natural immune response is activated, with white blood cells targeting the fragmented ink
  • These fragments are transported through your lymphatic system and safely eliminated from the body
  • The surrounding tissue remains unharmed while the tattoo gradually fades with each treatment

Revolutionary Q-Switching Technology

Our laser applicator features specialised Q-switching technology—the gold standard in tattoo removal. This advanced technology offers significant advantages:

  • Produces extremely short, high-energy pulses for maximum effectiveness
  • Proven to remove both dark and bright tattoo pigments
  • Delivers higher fluence (energy density) for superior results
  • Significantly reduces the risk of side effects including scarring
  • Minimises damage to surrounding tissue
  • Provides more comfortable treatments than traditional removal methods

Treatment Process

Your tattoo removal journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced practitioners, who will:

  • Assess your tattoo’s characteristics (size, colour, age, and location)
  • Discuss your expectations and desired outcomes
  • Create a personalised treatment plan
  • Advise on the likely number of treatments required

For optimal results, several treatments will be necessary, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow your body sufficient time to eliminate the fragmented ink and for your skin to heal completely between sessions.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

To ensure optimal results and minimise potential side effects, please follow these important guidelines:

  • Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for 3-4 weeks before and after each treatment. Tanned skin cannot be safely treated.
  • Artificial Tanning: Discontinue use of fake tan products at least 1 week prior to treatment and thoroughly exfoliate the area. Treating tanned skin risks hypopigmentation (white spots) or hyperpigmentation (dark spots).
  • Skin Preparation: Ensure the treatment area is clean and free of all products (deodorants, makeup, moisturisers) on the day of treatment.
  • Medication Updates: Inform your practitioner of any changes to your medication regimen.
  • Medical History: Disclose any medical conditions that may affect healing or treatment safety.

Post-Treatment Care

What to Expect After Treatment

Following your laser tattoo removal session, you may experience:

  • Immediate redness, inflammation, and possible weeping from the treated area
  • Formation of crusts or scabs as the area begins to heal
  • Erythema (redness) and oedema (swelling), which may last for several days
  • A sensation similar to sunburn for several hours post-treatment
  • Possible temporary discolouration of the tattoo (red, blue, or black) lasting several weeks
  • Localised swelling around the tattoo for up to 2-3 days

Aftercare Protocol

For optimal healing and results, follow these essential aftercare instructions:

  • First 3 Days: Apply antibiotic cream/ointment to the treated area and cover with sterile gauze
  • After 3 Days: Keep the area clean and dry until the skin is completely healed
  • Avoid Picking: Do not pick at treated skin or scabs, as this may cause scarring
  • Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily throughout your treatment course
  • Heat Avoidance: Refrain from sunbeds, sunbathing, hot baths, saunas, or steam rooms for 5-7 days
  • Physical Activity: Avoid heavy exercise for 5-7 days post-treatment
  • Makeup Application: Avoid applying makeup until the skin has completely healed to prevent infection
  • Cooling: Use only Aloe Vera gel or an ice pack to soothe the treated area

Potential Side Effects

While our advanced technology minimises risks, temporary side effects may include:

  • Bruising
  • Blistering
  • Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin)
  • Hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin)
  • Itching
  • Temporary discolouration of the tattoo

These effects are typically temporary and resolve within days or weeks. Our experienced practitioners will provide guidance on managing any side effects.
