Tattoo Removal
One of the biggest concerns people have while researching laser treatment is whether it leaves a scar. Scarring is highly unlikely to occur if clients follow aftercare protocols properly. These steps can not only prevent scars, but also increase your satisfaction with treatments.
Tattoo scarring occurs when the needle is pushed too deep into the dermis and causes damage to the surrounding tissue. This can cause scarring or keloids to occur on the surface of your skin. Keloids are raised scars that form when the skin heals after an injury.
Our laser, the PicoWay, is noninvasive and does not cause damage to surrounding skin tissue. The laser works in picoseconds which is so fast that it avoids heating the skin.
Laser technology has come a long way and will continue to advance. With our PicoWay laser and aftercare protocols, your tattoo can be removed without scarring or any signs that it was ever there. Check out some of our client’s removals here.
Follow these tips to reduce scarring before your laser tattoo removal procedure.
Having a lot of water before and after your removal will help increase the speed of recovery.
Vitamin E and Aloe help with healing, and can provide additional benefits to your removal journey.
Injected shots (with a needle) may increase the likelihood of scarring. Instead, use ice packs or Zimmer Cryo air cooling to help.
The success of removing a tattoo after 10 treatments is reduced by 70% if you smoke! Do your skin and lungs a favor and quit smoking.
Only trust a skilled tattoo removal technician to minimise your risk of injury and maximise your success.
Stay away from activities that can result in bumping your treatment area, or cause unnecessary friction.
Rubbing can cause side effects. Although rare, if a client has scabs, rubbing can cause them to come off too early, causing your body to form a new scab. This can prolong the healing process.
This causes scarring.
Unless they are larger than a dime (17.91mm in diameter), these blisters will go away on their own. For larger blisters, please contact your laser specialist for instructions.
Keep the tattoo out of the sun, even after many weeks from your last tattoo removal session. The sun causes blistering quickly and increases the time of healing.
Wear sunscreen that contains zinc or titanium dioxide to block against UVA and UVB rays. Wear sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
Your body continues to digest ink after your session concludes. A 6-8 week downtime allows your skin to heal, preventing skin fatigue and maximizing the impact of treatments.
