Before and After Photos
The Laser Tattoo removal treatment
The laser light energy is shone onto the skin and absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo. This rapidly heats and breaks up the pigment-containing granules in the tissues. The pigment is then taken up by the lymphatics and cleared by the body through the liver, a process which takes several weeks. The tattoo fades gradually over this time, and more each time the laser treatment is repeated.
The tiny explosion of energy is felt as a shock wave and as heat, which the body feels as pain (like a little hot electric shock). We keep this to a minimum by blowing super-cooled air onto the skin before and during the laser. The treatment is quick, and there is little or no pain afterwards. You can also use local anaesthetic cream, but you need to apply this at least 30 minutes prior to the treatment for it to be effective.

Laser Tattoo Removal – the after-effects
The skin can look and feel like is it sunburnt for a few days after the laser, and needs to be kept out of the sun, kept clean and moist and treated with care, but the end result is great. The laser itself does not cause scarring or reactions.
If you had an allergic reaction at the time of the tattoo or an infection afterwards, you may experience these again as the tattoo is removed. If you had scarring from the tattoo, the laser may not remove it completely, but it will improve it.

Can everyone be treated?
Some tattoos are difficult to remove completely.
But all tattoos can be faded considerably, to the point where other people do not see them, and our machine has additional features which allow us to remove previously impossible tattoos.
Tattoos are more difficult to remove the darker the skin, the more dense and complex the tattoo, when the tattoo has been tattooed over, and certain colours are hard to remove, especially white and fluoro pink and yellow, which reflect the laser light and do not absorb it.

Consultation
If you are considering getting laser tattoo removal treatments, we offer an initial consultation with Dr Malatt to discuss all these factors as they apply to you personally. As with any procedure, it is important to consider all of the above and have time to reflect before you commit to the treatment. Having said that, you can just have one treatment and it will help you decide whether to proceed or not, without fading the tattoo so dramatically that you cannot keep it if you choose to.
