Tattoo

How does tattoo removal work?

We use Medical Grade Laser for safe tattoo removal. The laser removes your unwanted tattoo with specialised light which is absorbed by the tattoo ink. This rapid absorption of the laser energy causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles, which is then removed by the body’s natural filtering system. It can remove both professional, amateur, surgical, and eyebrow tattoos.

​

How many sessions will I need?
The number of tattoo removal treatments depends on the volume, type, colour, and the depth of the ink within the dermal layers of the skin. We will assess your individual needs and create a customised plan for you.

Impact of treatment for Tattoo Removal:

The tattoo may appear slightly raised and frosted (white) in appearance immediately after the laser tattoo removal treatment, this is the skin’s protective mechanism.

The laser treatment creates enough of a response in the ink particles that the skin tries to shield itself from further destruction.

There may be some pinpoint bleeding with scab or blister formation. You may bathe normally but we do suggest you minimise vigorous activity for a few days to optimise healing after your Tattoo Removal session.

It usually takes 1 to 3 weeks to completely heal and the treated skin may appear like a wound/scab during this time. It is important not to pick at any scabs formed by the treatment and to keep the treated area out of direct sunlight, applying sunscreen where exposure cannot be avoided. We advise that you keep the area protected and apply Bepanthen ointment regularly to keep it moist until the scabs fall off.

Some patients may experience itching in the treatment area in the weeks after laser tattoo removal Melbourne, a mild hydrocortisone cream from your chemist can be applied to assist with this.
