What is laser tattoo removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a process in which a laser machine works to break down the tattoo ink into tiny little particles. After this, your body works to get rid of that ink. The laser only targets the ink. Meaning the surrounding skin is not damaged.

Does laser tattoo removal work?

Yes, it does. If you have the right equipment. And a qualified laser tattoo removal specialist. The specialist performs an effective treatment. Based on the correct laser machine settings.

But they also advise on how you can achieve a quicker tattoo removal process.

Interesting note. 50% the work is done by the laser breaking the ink down. The rest is your body’s ability to effectively flush that ink out.

If you follow the advice, you will experience a quicker removal process. There is homework to be done. But the results will be worth it.

At Goodbye Tattoos we have qualified staff using the top performing machine.

HOW MANY LASER TATTOO SESSIONS WILL BE REQUIRED?

This is a very common question. And one that is not as straight forward to answer.

To estimate how many sessions for tattoo removal you might need, we need to look at a few things. There are many variables we need to consider. type of tattoo pigment; tattoo colour; tattoo layering; health; tattoo location. These are just to name a few. On average, you’ll need between 6 to 10 treatments. However everyone reacts and heals differently.

It’s important to remember that certain colours take longer than others. For example, black ink is the easiest to eliminate. Whereas colours like blues, greens and reds may require more sessions. You can find more information here.

It’s advisable to wait at least 6 weeks between each treatment.

This is to give the skin enough time to heal. And the body enough time to eliminate as much ink as possible.

WILL LASER TATTOO REMOVAL COMPLETELY REMOVE A TATTOO?

Yes and eventually over time the body will keep breaking that ink down. But how long tattoo removal takes, depends on a few different variables. Everyone is different. And every tattoo responds differently to laser tattoo removal.

The tattoo ink absorbs the laser light. And shatters it into tiny little particles. Black ink is the easiest to remove. Warmer tones, like reds and oranges can take a little longer. The same applies to blue and green tattoos. These colours may require a few more sessions.

We have the latest laser tattoo removal technology. Which features 3 different wavelengths. Therefore allowing us to treat a range of different colours. See here for more information.

DOES TATTOO REMOVAL HURT?

Everyone’s pain threshold is different. Some parts of the body can be more sensitive than others. We like to say it’s uncomfortable but manageable.

There are a few pain management options available. And this is all discussed in the consultation.

At Goodbye Tattoos we use a cooling machine called the Zimmer Cryo 6. The Zimmer Cryo 6 is a chilled air-cooling device.Which provides a continuous flow of chilled air before, during and after the treatment. Read here for more information
