How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Our state-of-the-art Laser tattoo removal uses specialized medical-grade laser technology to target tattoo pigment beneath the skin. The laser energy breaks the ink into tiny particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
Different tattoo colours respond differently to treatment:
- Black and dark blue inks generally respond the fastest
- Red and orange pigments may require additional sessions
- Green and light-coloured inks can be more challenging to remove
Post-Treatment Aftercare:
Following a tattoo removal treatment, proper aftercare is crucial for healing and preventing complications. Our clinic provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your skin recovers effectively and will provide further medical guidance if required. Key aftercare steps include:
- Keeping the treated area clean and dry.
- Applying soothing ointments or gels to reduce redness and irritation.
- Avoiding direct sun exposure on the treated skin.
- Refraining from picking or scratching the area.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments required for optimal results depends on the size, location, depth and color of the tattoo. Treatments should be performed 4 – 8 weeks apart in order to allow your body to remove the tattoo ink fragments.
As your body heals after each session you will notice your tattoo lightening; depending on the colors and inks used, many patients see a complete removal of the ink.
How long are the treatments?
Each session usually takes 10 – 30 minutes and will depend on the size of the tattoo.
Is Tattoo Removal Painful?
Many clients ask about the level of pain associated with tattoo removal. While everyone’s pain tolerance varies, our clinic ensures that you are as comfortable as possible. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
The procedure is significantly less painful than getting a tattoo, and our advanced lasers help to make the removal process as quick and pain-free as possible.
All our laser procedures are performed in strict compliance with Queensland Radiation Health regulations by qualified and licensed laser technicians. This ensures treatments are delivered to the highest professional and regulatory standards, with appropriate protocols in place for your protection.
