Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal

Unwanted tattoos are a thing of the past with our advanced Tattoo Removal treatment. Using the state-of-the-art 3D Nanosure laser, which features a dual wavelength system and Q-switching technology, we can safely and effectively eliminate a wide range of dark and multi-coloured tattoos, helping you achieve clear, ink-free skin.

How Does 3D Nanosure Tattoo Removal Work?

The removal process uses advanced laser technology in several stages:

  1. Consultation & Assessment: We examine your tattoo’s size, colour, age, and location. A patch test is performed to determine the optimal laser settings for your skin and ink.
  2. Laser Application: The 3D Nanosure Q-switched laser delivers ultra-short, high-energy pulses of light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin and are selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles.
  3. Ink Shattering: The intense energy from the laser shatters the ink particles into tiny microscopic fragments. The dual wavelength capability allows us to effectively target different ink colours.
  4. Natural Elimination: Your body’s immune system recognizes these tiny fragments as foreign objects and works to eliminate them naturally through its lymphatic system over the following weeks.
  5. Progressive Fading: With each session, more ink is shattered and flushed away by the body, causing the tattoo to progressively fade until it is no longer visible.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Our 3D Nanosure laser system can be used to remove unwanted tattoos from virtually any area of the body. Common treatment areas include arms, legs, back, chest, hands, feet, and more. Our specialists will assess the tattoo during your consultation to create a safe and effective plan.

What Is the Cost of Tattoo Removal?

The cost of tattoo removal depends on the size, complexity, and colours of the tattoo. At Our Skin Clinic, Tattoo Removal sessions are starting from £50.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

Sessions are relatively quick, typically lasting from 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the tattoo’s size. Protective eyewear is mandatory. The sensation is often compared to a hot rubber band snapping against the skin, but we use a cooling device to enhance comfort throughout the procedure.

When Will I See Results, and How Long Do They Last?

You will notice the tattoo beginning to fade after your first few sessions. The complete removal process requires multiple treatments, typically spaced 6-8 weeks apart, to allow your body time to flush out the shattered ink particles. The number of sessions needed varies greatly. The final result is permanent.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Tattoo Removal?

Anyone with an unwanted amateur or professional tattoo who wishes to have it safely and effectively removed is a potential candidate. A full consultation is necessary to assess your tattoo and skin type to confirm suitability, discuss the likely outcome, and manage expectations.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Common and temporary side effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, and blistering or crusting over the treated area. These are normal parts of the healing process and typically subside within one to two weeks. Following aftercare instructions precisely is vital for proper healing.

Can Tattoo Removal Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Due to the nature of the laser treatment and the healing process involved, tattoo removal is a highly specialized procedure that can be combined with skin rejuvenation treatments in the same area at the same time.

 

Is There Any Downtime?

While you can typically resume most normal activities immediately, the treated area requires specific aftercare. There may be social downtime if you wish to conceal temporary side effects like redness or blistering. It is crucial to keep the area clean, protected from the sun, and to follow all aftercare guidelines provided by your specialist.
