We believe that all potential clients should be well informed and it is your decision whether or not to proceed with laser tattoo removal. Our clinicians are all fully licensed by Radiation Health Queensland and have treated hundreds of satisfied clients with complete removals and fading for cover up tattoos.

When done by a skilled tattoo removalist the procedure is less painful than getting the tattoo. Our clients say that it is a bit like the sting of a rubber band. Your dedicated tattoo removalist will discuss this with you at your initial consultation.

Some people find the discomfort of laser tattoo removal a bit too much, especially in overly sensitive areas and you may use a numbing cream.  ERAZALASER recommends numbing cream to diminish the discomfort. However, no matter what you may have been told only 3 people are authorised to apply numbing cream to your skin:

♦   A doctor

♦   A registered nurse or

♠  YOU!

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates these products in Australia. The 5% formula is sold in pharmacies where you can get instructions on the correct use of the product. In the pack, you will find detailed instructions on how to apply it. Follow the instructions which advise “ Apply a thick layer of cream to the skin, under an occlusive dressing.”

To help you understand what “thick” means we have included an image of ERAZALASER client, Kellie. She is happy to share her experience with the numbing cream.  Cover the cream with an occlusive dressing such as Gladwrap® once it’s applied.

We advise clients that “thick” means as thick as a 50 cent piece. You should also apply the numbing cream beyond the edge of the tattoo. Most importantly, apply the cream at least one to one and a half hours before your visit to ERAZALASER. We will remove the dressing for your laser tattoo removal treatment.

While there is a variety of numbing creams available from pharmacies and online, we recommend that you buy local so that you know exactly what you are buying. Therefore, ask questions before you purchase any product.

New Numbing Cream

ERAZALASER client Stef first told us about the new numbing cream, Numit and we are happy to recommend it to our clients. It Works! Numit is made in Australia by Australian pharmaceutical company, Ego and is reasonably priced. 

Therefore, if you are a little concerned about the discomfort of laser tattoo removal, Numit can diminish the discomfort for you. As another ERAZALASER client, Carly said: “ Apply Numit numbing cream on thick an hour prior….no pain!!”

While you can find more product information here Numit Cream, we are happy to discuss it with you at your first consultation.

What the article failed to mention is that – Businesses that remove tattoo pigments by laser will not be affected* (Extract from Queensland Health publication). The reason that laser tattoo removalists are not affected is because of the tattoo removal training that laser operators undergo to obtain their Radiation Health Queensland Licence.

On further reading the article states …. “an emerging trend involves penetrating and damaging the layers of the skin so the tattoo pigment rises to the surface and eventually scabs off. Tattoo removal businesses that use these liquid products must now be licensed and adhere to correct methods of infection control”.

The facts are that laser tattoo removalists using a Class 4 laser to remove tattoo ink have always had to be licensed and to obtain that licence they had to complete Infection Control Certification as one module in their training. The world – wide standard for removing tattoo pigment remains the Q-Switch Nd: YAG laser and people considering removing unwanted can be confident of achieving safe and effective results with this system.

Unlike other methods which involve – “penetrating and damaging the layers of the skin” – the laser is designed to break up the large ink molecules within the skin so that the body’s immune system can then eliminate them over time. Laser treatment results in minimal disruption to the skin surface and the treatments are spaced at 6 weekly intervals for maximum effectiveness.

It is highly recommended that before you undertake any treatment to remove your unwanted ink that you should check the qualifications of the person that will conduct your procedure and the most important factor in your decision should be their tattoo removal training.

There are claims for other systems using skin abrasion and injections of proprietary ingredients espousing “Laser Free, Pain Free” tattoo removal but with no clinical trials referenced for these claims. It is also claimed that “laser tattoo removal breaks down pigment ingredients and deposits them in critical organs of the body” – scary stuff – if it were true. The truth is that YES the laser does break the ink into smaller particles. That is its purpose. The smaller ink particles are then eliminated from the body via the lymphatic system much like the body eliminates infection from the body.

Tattoo Removal Training is Critical

There are two critical components in successful tattoo removal with a laser. Firstly and the most obvious is the type of laser used. It has been said by a senior staff member of Radiation Health Queensland that if a laser can shatter tattoo ink then it is a Class 4 laser. There are different Classes of laser for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes ranging from Class 1 to Class 4 lasers which are strictly regulated. To operate a Class 4 laser the technician must undergo extensive training before obtaining an Unrestricted Licence to operate the laser without supervision. It’s a bit like qualifying for a pilot’s licence with all hours under supervision being recorded in a log book and endorsed by the senior trainer.

The second and less obvious component of successful tattoo removal is the skill of the laser technician. However before you even consider the skill level make sure that the technician that is about to target your skin with a powerful laser apparatus has undertaken the tattoo removal training required by Radiation Health Queensland. Has the technician completed:

♦  Laser Safety Officer Training

♦  Maintain Infection Control in Office Practice Setting Training

♦  Certificate of Competency in Laser Tattoo Removal

♦  100 Hours of Supervised Laser Tattoo Removal Treatments of Real Clients

♦  First Aid Certification

It may seem that there are a lot of questions for you to ask but Radiation Health Queensland has made it easy for you to check the credentials of anyone advertising laser tattoo removal. Go to this link to check if an operator has an Unrestricted Licence to Use a Laser for Tattoo Removal. If the register shows: As a trainee….. Find another technician.

The other check you should do is to establish if the technician is using a Class 4 laser and again Radiation Health Queensland helps you here. This link shows the company or person approved to Possess a Laser Apparatus for Tattoo Removal. It means that they comprehensively understand laser principles and have submitted a Radiation Safety and Protection Plan to Radiation Health Queensland. If the tattoo removal operator is not on both registers then find another operator.

And finally before you decide which Clinic to attend for your laser tattoo removal check out what other people have to say about the skill level of the technician.

Unlike other proposed tattoo removal modalities, laser tattoo removal is strictly controlled and licenced and comprehensive tattoo removal training is a prerequisite before anyone can use a laser apparatus on your skin. Rest assured that ERAZALASER Clinic and all technicians employed are fully licensed with Radiation Health Queensland and have undertaken advanced tattoo removal training.

The exhibition is open from 9am to 3pm daily with special appearances by Angelina Ballerina and Peppa Pig on Centre Stage for the kids. Come and chat with Chris and our Cairns tattoo removal girls. Even if you don’t have any unwanted ink, drop by for a chat with the tattoo removal specialists at Women’s Lifestyle Expo as you can still go into the draw to win those fabulous shopping vouchers.

ERAZALASER Clinic uses the latest Q Switch Nd:Yag laser which is widely considered the gold standard method to remove a tattoo. During treatment, the laser beam passes harmlessly through your skin, targeting only the tattoo ink. The ink is broken-down and removed by your lymphatic system and the tattoo fades gradually over time.

Modern Class 4 lasers have made tattoo removal more effective, more comfortable, more affordable and less invasive. ERAZALASER clinicians are fully licensed by Radiation Health Queensland and have undertaken Master level training in tattoo removal.

Our treatments include complete tattoo removal or partial removal for those who wish to modify their tattoo by only removing some parts. We can also fade an existing tattoo before it is covered with another tattoo. Most tattooists recommend fading as it gives them more scope with the new tattoo.

ERAZALASER clients like Marky and Emma are very happy to share their opinions and experiences with you.

Marky wrote: “Professional and amazing technology and service. Chris assisted me all the way through and answered all questions I had. I’m simply blown away at how quick and pain free the removal was! Thanks again ERAZALASER”.

Emma said: ” Having had treatments at other clinics and having a treatment with Chris it is obvious he knows his stuff, from the consult to treatment and aftercare the level of service and knowledge is better than I have had before. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone. Thanks Chris”.

We understand that you may wish to carefully consider your decision to remove your unwanted ink and we encourage you to contact us at ERAZALASER Clinic for a confidential consultation. While we can help over the phone, ultimately we will need to sit down with you and discuss your treatment plan.

You can call to book a free consultation Ph: 0403 490 787.

When applied to your tattoo the Nd: YAG laser targets the ink particles which lay in the dermis and shatters those particles into smaller fragments which can then be eliminated from your body. Unlike the sculptures, your body takes time to dispose of your unwanted ink and that’s why your treatment sessions will be scheduled at 5 to 8 week intervals.

One can imagine that before lasers were allowed near these priceless works there was an intensive consultation period where the process was discussed and all the benefits and risks were outlined. It’s a similar process for laser tattoo removal as a confidential consultation is conducted before your first treatment session.  It takes up to an hour to outline the process and take a full medical history so that you can give your informed consent for your tattoo removal plan.

Just as there would be an after procedure plan for the lasered statutes to keep them in the best condition, you will be given an Aftercare for Tattoo Removal brochure. This brochure explains what you should do to ensure that you get maximum fading from each removal session. For example, you should not expose the treated skin to the sun or pick or scratch the area. Immediately following your treatment your technician will apply Bepanthen cream and cover the area with non-stick dressing which should be left on the skin until the next day.

Laser tattoo removal is our specialty at ERAZALASER tattoo removal Cairns. Several factors influence response rates to tattoo removal treatments and need to be considered. The video shows the first treatment on a back tattoo at our clinic.

Tattoo removal with the Q-Switched laser is now considered to be the standard treatment. A study published in the JAMA Dermatology which examined the results of laser tattoo removal found that smoking had a negative effect on success rates. This study found that the chance of achieving complete tattoo removal decreased by 69.7% in smokers compared to non-smokers.

Other variables include; length of time between laser tattoo removal treatments, the colour and depth of the tattoo ink, the age of the tattoo and the location. Tattoos on the legs and feet respond more slowly than tattoos elsewhere.

Laser tattoo removal is the most effective way to remove a tattoo. The laser penetrates the skin and breaks up the tattoo pigments so that they can be carried away naturally by the body’s immune system. Black is the easiest colour to remove because it absorbs more laser waves. Green and yellow are more difficult to remove.

There are many reasons that people consider removing ink from their bodies. Some are just unhappy with the tattoo, or they got the tattoo on an impulse, or it’s a cover up gone wrong or the tattoo location is no longer suitable. For instance the Defence Force has a strict policy on tattoos and body piercings. Tattoos are prohibited on the face, scalp, ears, neck and hands of candidates wishing to join the Forces.

To help you understand the process of getting rid of your unwanted ink, ERAZALASER Tattoo Removal Cairns provides a comprehensive consultation at our clinic at 472 Mulgrave Road.

Laser tattoo removal in Cairns is all about our clients at ERAZALASER Clinic, the specialist tattoo removal clinic. While we use the latest Q-Switched laser to remove your unwanted ink, we believe that it is our technicians that make all the difference.

This video shows an actual laser tattoo removal session for a “sun” tattoo on the lower back. The skill of the technician is demonstrated in how quickly and accurately the procedure is completed. The frosted appearance of the skin post treatment is the clinical endpoint desired. It demonstrates that the laser tattoo removal session has had the desired effect. The laser does not remove the ink from the skin. The laser beam breaks the ink into smaller particles so that your body can eliminate it. When the ink is shattered into smaller particles, your body recognises it as a foreign body and begins the elimination process.

Prior to establishing our laser tattoo removal clinic in Cairns, we researched different tattoo removal methods and selected the Nd: YAG Q-Switched laser as it is regarded as the gold standard for tattoo removal. We then selected the best training for laser tattoo removal so that our technicians can provide the most professional laser tattoo removal in Cairns.

When you first visit ERAZALASER tattoo removal in Cairns, we will complete a thorough consultation and explain the procedure and the expected outcomes of your laser tattoo removal session. We will establish a tattoo removal plan for you that is effective and economical. It will be necessary for you to attend a number of tattoo removal treatments as it takes time for your body to eliminate any unwanted ink.

Because your first consultation may take between forty five minutes to an hour, we work on appointments only. We will record your full medical history, take photos, explain the process and provide written aftercare instructions. Please arrive early for your first laser tattoo removal in Cairns so that you can relax and “Zen out” like our client in this video.

Tattoo removal in Cairns has come of age! ERAZALASER Clinic, the specialist laser tattoo removal clinic at 472 Mulgrave Road Cairns brings its expertise in tattoo removal in Cairns. Using the latest Q – Switched laser, this video shows a tattoo removal treatment session on the lower back and how the skin looks when the session is completed.

You will notice that there is a slight “crackling” noise during the tattoo removal. This is the sound that the laser beam makes as it breaks up the ink particles that lie in the dermis. When the ink particles are fragmented your body disposes of the unwanted ink through your immune system. That’s why healthy people get much quicker results than those that are less healthy. It’s also why non-smokers get faster results in fewer treatments than smokers.

As seen in this tattoo removal session, the treatment time is relatively short. However for your first treatment you should allow forty five minutes to one hour for the complete session. At this first consultation, our technician will explain the complete procedure and take a full medical history. He will also take photographs of your tattoo and provide laser tattoo removal aftercare instructions for you to follow at home.

We recommend that your next tattoo removal session is scheduled for at least four weeks’ time so that your body has sufficient time to eliminate the most amount of ink. Your technician will also provide an estimate of how many visits you will need for your tattoo removal in Cairns. The amount of required visits depends on a number of factors including; the size of your tattoo, the colour of the ink, the depth of the ink, the density of the ink and the location of your tattoo.
