Facts about laser tattoo removal

FOR MANY PEOPLE, LASER TATTOO REMOVAL IS A GREAT SOLUTION TO INKING THAT IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED DESIRABLE OR ATTRACTIVE.

As we go through different phases in our lives it’s understandable that things that were once important enough to be inked onto our bodies, no longer carry the same weight or relevance for us anymore. Laser tattoo removal is a great way to clear unwanted ink from your body, giving your skin a clear appearance once more. With almost 40 years’ experience in conducting laser tattoo removal treatments, we understand the pre and post-care treatments required to ensure you achieve your desired results.

BELOW WE’VE HIGHLIGHTED SOME FACTS ABOUT LASER TATTOO REMOVAL THAT YOU MIGHT NOT ALREADY KNOW!

THE TREATMENT IS NON-INVASIVE

Much like getting your tattoo, laser removal of your ink is a surface level, non-invasive treatment which requires no anaesthetic. For most tattoos, you need between 6-10 treatments depending on whether an amateur or professional tattoo artist completed your tattoo, and how deep into the skin the ink sits. The treatments take place over 3-6 months and are completed with fantastic results, using our cutting-edge technology.

MINIMAL PAIN AND RECOVERY

Having had a tattoo, you’ll be aware of a similar sensation on your skin which feels a little like hot fat pricking your skin. The pain is fleeting but can be sharp, hence part of the reason the treatments are spread over a series of months. You’ll be able to return to normal activity the same day as your treatment and the skin will return to normal within a couple of days.

YOUR SKIN IS PROTECTED

The lasers used in the procedure emit short flashes of light which work to break down the ink in your skin. Because the lasers are so focused, you don’t need to worry about the rest of your skin being damaged, as the beams will only reach the areas of your skin which are tattooed.

How intense pulsed light works

InteliBrite delivers high intensity broadspectrum light. Multiple wavelength light emission ensures excellent results across a large range of treatment applications

Target Selection -

Using specific wavelengths of light the InteliBrite focuses on the target condition being treated. This maximises the treatment whilst protecting the surrounding tissue from damage.

Treatments for :-

- Sun damage - Pigmentation

Light energy can be applied to the melanocytes (the cells producing the brown pigment

melanin responsible for tanning,sun damage, age spots and liver spots).

Degradation of the melanin and melanocytes erases brown surface discolouration,

evens and rejuvenates apperance

- Wrinkling - skin rejuvenation

Light Energy can be applied to the surface of the skin tissue simultaneously tightens

superficial collagen, stimulates collagen production, evens skin tone and colouration.

A by-product of the treatment is the reduction of fine line wrinkling and fresh,

rejuvenated, youthful looking skin tissue.

- Scarring - Acne removal - acne scar treatment

Light energy causes the skin pores infected with bacteria and oil glands to heat and

degrade. The bacteria is killed and the over production of oil reduced - the cause and

effect of acne. The outcome of the first treatment is apparent from first application

and scarring is avoided due to non-invasive delivery.

- Infection / inflammation - Skin disease - Vascular conditions - tread vein removal

Light energy applied to haemoglobin and red blood cells degrades the red pigmentation

that causes surface skin conditions including rosacea and spider veins

- laser Hair Removal

Light energy delivery causes the hair follicle to heat and degrade. Several deliveries of light

energy cause further degradation leading to permanent hair reduction and hair removal.

The outcome of the treatment application is obvious from the first delivery

- Tattoo Removal - permanent or semi-permanent make up removal
