Tattoo Removal

PicoMax Laser is the world’s most advanced tattoo removal laser technology that can address ALL colours. Using the PicoMax laser we can reduce the appearance and even in some cases remove unwanted tattoos over a series of sessions using a Picosecond Nd:YAG Laser.

Tattoo removal at Perfect Skin Solutions utilises the cutting-edge PicoMax laser technology, which works by breaking down ink particles into smaller fragments. These particles are then naturally absorbed into the bloodstream and safely eliminated from the body, leading to the gradual fading of the tattoo.

Here’s how it works:

  • The PicoMax laser operates in ‘picoseconds,’ emitting light energy at an incredibly rapid rate to minimize the risk of damage to surrounding skin tissue. This sets it apart from other lasers.
  • With its higher energy laser beams, the PicoMax clears pigmentation more efficiently, resulting in fewer treatment sessions.
  • This advanced laser can effectively target all tattoo ink colours, the easiest inks to treat are darker black and blue inks, however, with our laser, we are also able to treat all coloured inks.

To ensure optimal treatment, factors such as the tattoo’s age, type, pigment concentration, and depth are carefully evaluated during a patch test and consultation. Based on these assessments, the therapist determines the appropriate energy levels, spot sizes, and repetition rates for treatment.

During the treatment process, the laser penetrates the skin, targeting the ink and breaking it down. While some individuals may observe immediate results, most will experience a gradual fading of the tattoo over the healing period, typically spanning 8 to 10 weeks.

What to Expect During Treatment

During a laser tattoo removal treatment, you can expect to feel a mild stinging sensation, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The treatment itself is relatively quick, typically taking anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo. To minimize discomfort, a numbing cream or cooling device may be applied to the skin before treatment. After the treatment, the skin may appear red and swollen, but this should subside within a few hours. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses high-intensity light beams to break up and remove unwanted tattoos. This advanced treatment is designed to safely and effectively eliminate unwanted tattoos, leaving the surrounding skin intact. The process involves targeting the ink particles embedded in the skin with precise laser energy, which causes them to shatter into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body’s immune system. Laser tattoo removal is a popular solution for individuals who regret their tattoos or wish to remove them for personal or professional reasons.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Laser tattoo removal works by emitting intense light beams that penetrate the skin and target the ink particles in the tattoo. The light energy breaks up the ink molecules into tiny particles, which are then absorbed by the body’s immune system and removed from the skin. The laser treatment is designed to selectively target the ink particles, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. The process can take several sessions, depending on the size, color, and location of the tattoo. Each session helps to gradually fade the tattoo as the ink particles are broken down and eliminated by the body.

Recovery time following the procedure can vary from individual to individual. While some may experience minimal redness, others may contend with soreness for a period of time.

Immediately after the procedure, the treated skin area may exhibit side effects such as redness, swelling, and blistering. Applying a cold compress to the area can offer relief if needed. However, it’s important to avoid rubbing or scratching the affected skin.

Typically, the skin will begin to settle within 24 hours. During this time, it’s advisable to refrain from applying makeup or using any skincare products or masks that may irritate the skin.
