It is essential that the technician conducting your treatment is well trained in the proper laser technique. He or she must be knowledgeable about skin physiology. They must have a thorough understanding of tattoo ink and how it responds to the laser beam. Tattoo removal with a laser is both a science and an art. The laser provides the science and the art is delivered by the technician holding the laser handle. It is not as we were told: “It’s a simple process, so simple in fact that even a blind monkey could do it”. In our extensive research, we witnessed multiple removal sessions. In one case we were appalled to see a blonde, blind monkey wielding the laser like an UZI sub-machine gun. This session induced maximum discomfort with unnecessary skin trauma and the likelihood that the client would never return.
A thorough consultation will be conducted before your first treatment. You will be asked to complete a full medical history, the process will be explained and a tattoo removal plan will be developed. At this time you should have all your questions answered before proceeding. The number of sessions you require will depend on the size of the tattoo, ink color, ink depth, tattoo age, tattoo position and ink density.
Tattoos were once regarded as being permanent and absolutely for life. However, due to scientific advances in laser technology, it is now possible to remove your unwanted ink relatively easily and with minimal disruption to your life.
