How does a Tattoo Removal Laser work? 
Active Q-switch lasers that generate a high powered beam of laser light in an extremely short pulse are most suitable lasers for tattoo removal treatment.  
 
The very short pulse of high powered laser light is absorbed by the tattoo particles ,breaking them down into smaller pieces, enabling your immune system defences to absorb and disperse the ink. A gradual fadeing of the tattoo occurs over a series of treatments. 
 
How does the treatment feel? 
Most patient described the sensation as similar to a hot pin prick or a flicking sensation,whilst mildly uncomfortable, most people tolerate treatment well. A skin cooling lotion may be used to reduce discomfort. 
Are there any side effects?  
Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker, or a small blister may form. Change to skin texture and scarring is possible,though uncommon,and is more likely if any grazes are not allowed to heal naturally. There may be loss of the natural tanning ability in the area treated, which usually improves with time. 
 
How many treatments are necessary? 
This depends on several factors,including the density of ink and colour and the age of the tattoo, amateur tattoos can quickly be removed, taking 1-6 treatments, whereas professional tattoos may vary up to 15. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks. 
 
How long does each treatment take? 
Treatment time varies depending upon the size of the tattoo but generally takes between 10- 30 mins.”
