TATTOO REMOVAL
How does it work?
Why this is the right choice for me?
Laser Tattoo Removal is the only effective option for the reduction or removal of a tattoo. This treatment is perfect if you no longer want a tattoo or want to fade the tattoo with a view to get an alternative cover up design.
What type of tattoo’s can be removed?
What can I expect from the treatment – how does it sound and feel?
-
Primarily the area being lasered will be cleaned and shaved and the correct settings will be inputted into the machine. -
When the laser first hits the tattoo it makes a loud cracking noise, a little bit like a Christmas cracker being pulled, this is due to the tattoo absorbing the shockwave and is completely normal. -
When the laser has entered the skin you will see the area turn into small white gas bubbles, this is a sign the treatment has worked and will disappear within half an hour of the treatment being completed. -
Some bleeding may also occur, again this is completely normal and will cease within half an hour of the treatment being completed. -
Skin can also appear red or raised temporarily following treatment. -
To minimise discomfort the skin will be cooled down using an ice pack prior to treatment and this method can also be applied following treatment. A cooling aloe vera gel will be used after the treatment to soothe the skin. -
The treatment is often likened to an elastic band being pinged on the skin, or hot fat spitting on you when cooking. Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but every measure is taken to ensure maximum comfort with plenty of time being allowed for each treatment to ensure breaks can be taken if needed.

HAIR REMOVAL
How does it work?
The light source produced from the handle is attracted to melanin which is found in hair. Prior to the treatment an optical coupling gel is applied to the relevant area, this helps to aid the light into the skin and helps to protect the skin from burning. The applicator is pressed on to the skin and the energy is absorbed into the root of the hair causing a heat reaction to destroy the follicle.
Can anyone be treated?
As there is more melanin in darker hair, the darker the hair, the more effective the treatment, but this treatment is suitable for anyone. Hair removal treatment cannot however be performed over existing tattoos.
Consultations – what do they involve?
-
Consent forms will be completed. -
The procedure will be fully explained with an opportunity to ask questions. -
The skin type of the client will be defined. -
Ensure that there has not been high sun exposure 30 days prior or planned for after each treatment as this can give a risk of burning, blistering or permanent skin discolouration. This includes sunbeds and fake tan treatments. -
Medical history and medication will be checked and discussed. -
If all the above is agreed, then a test patch will be carried out on the skin. A small section of the area will be lasered to ensure that there are no adverse reactions, the results will be monitored prior to leaving the studio.
