Does laser tattoo removal leave scars?

Does tattoo removal hurt?
We understand that discomfort during tattoo removal is a valid concern. While the process can involve a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, we prioritize your comfort throughout the treatment. To mitigate any potential pain, we utilize the Zimmer Cryo 6 skin air cooling system. This advanced technology keeps the skin continuously cooled before, during, and after the procedure, helping to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, we offer various numbing cream options for further pain relief.
How many sessions are necessary for complete tattoo removal?
The number of sessions needed for complete tattoo removal can vary based on several factors unique to your tattoo and individual circumstances. These factors include the size of the tattoo, colour, ink depth, density, and its location on your body. On average, our clients undergo between 5 and 10 treatment sessions to achieve complete tattoo removal. It's important to note that tattoo removal is a gradual process that requires time and patience. Typically, the treatments are spaced several weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and for the body to naturally eliminate the fragmented ink particles. To get a personalized estimate of the number of treatments needed for your specific tattoo, we invite you to book a free consultation with our experienced team. During the consultation, we will carefully assess your tattoo and discuss a tailored treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with tattoo removal?
While tattoo removal is generally safe, it's important to be aware of potential side effects. The most common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, blistering, or lightening/darkening of the skin in the treated area. These side effects are usually temporary and subside within approximately one week. To ensure the best possible outcome and minimize any risks, our experienced laser technician during your initial consultation, will thoroughly assess your individual situation, including any potential risk factors, to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. Our goal is to provide a safe and effective tattoo removal experience, prioritizing your well-being throughout the process.
