HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK

Laser tattoo removal is an advanced and highly effective technique for breaking down tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments that the body can naturally process. These ink particles, when injected, remain in the dermis and are encapsulated by macrophages (immune cells), as they are too large for the body’s immune system to eliminate on its own. By targeting and fragmenting these particles, laser tattoo removal facilitates their gradual removal, making it a powerful solution for eliminating unwanted tattoos.

Here's how the process works:

Precision Laser Technology: The process uses highly focused laser beams that emit pulses of light energy. These pulses are specifically calibrated to target the ink particles embedded in the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. The laser's precision ensures safe and effective treatment.
Ink Absorption and Fragmentation: The laser light is absorbed by the tattoo ink, causing the ink particles to heat up and shatter into microscopic fragments. Different wavelengths of light are used to target specific ink colours, with black ink being the easiest to remove due to its ability to absorb all wavelengths.
Natural Elimination Process: Once the ink particles are broken down, the body’s lymphatic system takes over. These tiny fragments are gradually flushed out through the body’s natural processes, leading to the tattoo fading over time.
Customised Treatment Plans: Each tattoo is unique, and factors such as size, colour, depth, and age of the tattoo, as well as the individual’s skin type, influence the number of sessions required. A tailored approach ensures optimal results for every client.
Minimal Scarring and Recovery: Laser tattoo removal is designed to minimise scarring and promote smooth skin recovery. Protective measures, such as cooling techniques, are often used during the procedure to enhance comfort and protect the skin.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REMOVE A TATTOO

The duration for removing a tattoo with laser treatment can vary. On average, it requires 6 to 12 sessions, spaced approximately 6 to 8 weeks apart, to fully remove the tattoo.

Key factors that influence the timeframe include:

Tattoo size and colour: Larger tattoos and darker colours may need more sessions.
Age of the tattoo: Older tattoos tend to fade more easily than newer ones.
Skin type and ink depth: These play a role in how effectively the laser breaks down the ink.

Patience and proper aftercare are essential to achieve the best results. If you're considering tattoo removal, we’re here to support you every step of the way!

PARAMEDICAL TATTOOING

Paramedical tattooing is a cutting-edge, specialised technique within cosmetic tattooing that serves both medical and aesthetic purposes. Unlike conventional tattoos, this advanced practice focuses on restoring and concealing areas affected by medical conditions, trauma, or surgical procedures.

Highly trained professionals employ precision and expertise to apply pigments that harmonise seamlessly with the surrounding skin tone. This innovative approach effectively camouflages scars, stretch marks, and skin discoloration, creating a natural and refined appearance. Additionally, paramedical tattooing can reconstruct anatomical features, such as areolas after mastectomy, or enhance the visual symmetry of cleft lip scars.

Recognised for its ability to restore confidence, this transformative procedure not only improves physical appearance but also supports emotional healing, empowering individuals to regain a sense of self and well-being. Paramedical tattooing stands as a testament to the intersection of artistry, medical science, and compassion.

COMMON TREATMENTS

BURN SCARS:

Burn scars can benefit from this technique, as pigments are used to blend the scar tissue with the surrounding skin, improving its appearance.

STRETCH MARKS:

Stretch marks, often caused by rapid growth or weight changes, can be camouflaged using pigments that match your natural skin tone. This technique helps blend the marks with surrounding skin, creating a smoother and more uniform appearance.

SELF-HARM SCARS:

Paramedical tattooing offers a compassionate and healing approach to camouflaging self-harm scars. By using pigments that match your natural skin tone, this technique helps blend the scars with surrounding skin, reducing their visibility and supporting emotional recovery.

SURGICAL AND TRAUMA SCARS:

Whether from surgery or injury, scars can be effectively camouflaged using paramedical tattooing. The process involves implanting pigments into the skin to reduce the contrast between the scar and the surrounding area, resulting in a more natural look.

CLEFT LIP SCARS:

For individuals with cleft lip scars, paramedical tattooing can minimise their visibility by carefully matching pigments to the surrounding skin. This enhances the overall aesthetic and helps restore confidence.

Each procedure is tailored to the individual's skin type, scar characteristics, and desired outcome, ensuring optimal results.

Proper aftercare is essential to support healing and maintain the best results, including keeping the area moisturised and protected from sunlight.

RADIATION (FIDUCIAL) MARKERS

Fiducial markers are small, permanent pinpoint tattoo marks, typically ranging from one to five, placed into the soft tissue of your skin. These markers help your radiographer align the radiotherapy machine accurately for each treatment session.

For some individuals, these markers may serve as an unwanted reminder of challenging times.

Paramedical tattooing offers a solution by disguising these markers, transforming their appearance into something more subtle, like a freckle.

VITILIGO TREATMENT

Vitiligo is a condition where the skin loses its natural pigment due to the destruction of melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin. This results in white or lighter patches appearing on various areas of the body and can affect individuals of all skin tones. It often occurs symmetrically but can vary in its pattern and severity.

Paramedical tattooing offers an innovative approach to managing the appearance of vitiligo. By using carefully selected pigments that match the individual's skin tone, this technique helps blend the lighter patches with the surrounding skin, creating a more uniform complexion. Known as camouflage tattooing, it provides a semi-permanent solution, enhancing not only the physical appearance but also the emotional well-being and confidence of those living with vitiligo.

Tattooing over vitiligo requires a thoughtful approach to ensure the best possible results. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering this procedure:

Stable Skin Condition: It’s ideal to proceed with tattooing only after your vitiligo has been stable for 1–2 years, with no new patches or spreading. This helps avoid potential complications.
Consultation First: Before making a decision, consult with a dermatologist to confirm whether tattooing is suitable for your skin and to discuss any precautions needed.
Trained Professionals: Always choose a practitioner with experience in paramedical tattooing for vitiligo. Their expertise will ensure natural-looking results and safe application.
Test Patch: A small trial area may be tattooed to check how well your skin responds and to perfect the colour match.
Healing Process: Keep in mind that vitiligo-affected skin may heal differently, and results can vary depending on the individual.

Our paramedical tattooing specialists are here to help you regain confidence and achieve beautiful results. Contact us to learn more or schedule a consultation!
