Laser Tattoo Removal
Our TGA approved Q switch Laser technology has extremely high powered,nano seconds pulses of laser light into the skin. These laser pules are absorbed by the ink particles and are shattered because of the speed and power levels involved. These smaller shattered particles are now small enough to pass through the skin and are then removed by the body’s lymphatic system. Tattoo removal typically requires multiple treatment sessions, spaced approx 6-8 weeks apart.
Carbon dioxide is released as a result of laser penetration and surfaces on the upper layer of the skin, which resembles a white frosting. In the vast majority of cases, this only lasts for 15-30 minutes after treatment. It is a temporary side effect, which is perfectly normal.
How does the skin look after the treatment?
An instant whitening of skin is seen after treatment, but this generally fades quickly. The area is likely to feel tender for a few hours and can be red and swollen for up to 48hours.
How many treatments are necessary?
This depends on several factors, the density and colour of the inks and the age of the tattoo. It can take 3 to 10 treatments 6 weeks apart. Aftercare is very important to minimize any complication .
Are there any side effects?
Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker, or a small blister may form depending on sensitivity. If aftercare is not followed superficial white scar may form, which may take months to subside.
How Does the treatment feel?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a hot prick or the flick of an elastic band. Whilst mildly uncomfortable, most people tolerate treatment well.

Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by hyperpigmented patches on the face, often triggered by sun exposure,
hormonal changes, or genetic factors. Q-switch ND: YAG laser has shown promising results in treating melasma by effectively
targeting melanin with shorter pulse durations, leading to reduced risk of thermal damage and improved clearance rates.
