Tattoo Removal

Techniques for tattoo removal have evolved significantly over the years. The commonly used Quality-switched (QS) ruby, alexandrite, and Nd:YAG lasers are the traditional workhorses for tattoo removal. Newer strategies using combination laser treatments, multi-pass treatments, and picosecond lasers offer promising results. The tattoo color and skin type of the patient are important considerations when choosing the appropriate laser. Standard protocols can be developed for the effective and safe treatment of tattoos.

Dermadent offers treatments from the dual-wavelength laser (Q-switched 1064nm and 523nm). This highly advanced technology delivers clients greater levels of comfort and significantly fewer treatment sessions than most of all alternative tattoo removal devices. This revolutionary new laser tattoo removal technology quickly, safely and effectively removes a wide variety of tattoo colours.

Tattoos are permanent because the ink particles deposited in the skin are too large for the body to remove. Laser Tattoo Removal works by firing a very, short pulse of laser energy over the treatment area. This incredibly rapid pulse causes fragmentation of the ink particles within the skin, making them small enough for the body’s immune cells to carry away. Significant fading can been seen even after just few sessions.

This state of the art technology ensures treatments are incredibly fast. For example, a small tattoo (the size of a 2 rupees coin) would take approximately 5-6 seconds to treat.

Follow-up treatments are performed approximately every 4-10 weeks. The number of treatments required depends on the location and colour of the tattoo, as well as the overall health of the individual and their immune system. Most tattoos will require somewhere between 5-9 sessions.

This laser provides treatments that are far more comfortable than previous generations of laser tattoo removal machines. Anaesthetic cream is applied prior to treatment.
