TATTOO REMOVAL

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

HOW DOES LASER REMOVAL WORK?

The laser emits pulsed light that is absorbed into certain colours of ink. The light enters the skin and produces a shock wave effect that breaks up the ink particles into smaller pieces which are expelled naturally.

CAN YOU TREAT ALL COLOURS?

No. Light is measured in nanometres and there are two wave lengths of light that are emitted from the laser - one is invisible infrared light [1064nm] and the other is visible green light [532nm]. The infrared wave length is preferably absorbed into black and dark inks, where the green light is absorbed by red ink. It is possible to treat other colours, although white and yellow are more difficult.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED TO REMOVE MY TATTOO?

It is impossible to predict exactly how many treatments you will need. It could take as few as three treatments for an amateur tattoo, or as many as ten for a professionally applied tattoo. How quickly your ink fades will depend on:
  • Colour
  • Ink
  • Your Body

WHAT WILL MY SKIN LOOK LIKE AFTER
TREATMENT?

Your skin will be red and feel like it has mild sunburn. This typically disappears after a couple of hours. There may also be some bruising. At times and with certain inks, there may be mild blistering that usually takes one week to heal. After each treatment, you will be given detailed aftercare instructions.

DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL HURT?

Patients have reported that laser tattoo removal feels like an elastic band snapping quickly on their skin. Last Port Tattoo offer anaesthetic cream that can be applied to the area before each treatment.

DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL LEAVE SCARS?

The laser used leaves virtually no scarring. However, in rare instances, those with scarring disorders, particularly Keloids, have an increased risk of forming a scar.
