What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal delivers light energy in short, rapid pulses to the skin. These pulses are absorbed by the ink in the tattoo, breaking the pigment into small particles that are then broken down and metabolised by the body.Back To Top
Are there any side effects?
After having laser tattoo removal treatment your skin may be red similar to sunburn. These effects may last up to one week depending on the strength of the treatment and the nature of the tatttoo. Your Doctor will advise on the strength of the treatment parameters and expected outcomes prior to your treatment.Back To Top

Understanding LasersLight Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) was originally described as a theoretical concept by Albert Einstein in 1917 and since then has grown by leaps and bounds into the complex multi-billion dollar business it is today. Lasers have made it possible to treat what was once thought impossible, with reduced risk and cost to the patient. Lasers of today are capable of producing results including;
- The removal/reduction of pigmentation changes in the skin such as freckles
- The removal of capillaries from most parts of the body
- Permanent hair reduction
- Reducing all kinds of scarring
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through Collagen stimulation
- Reducing pore size
- Improving facial texture
- Removing moles
- Removing tattoos
- Tightening the skin
- Vision correction
A beam of laser energy is an extremely specific wavelength of light of the same colour, travelling in the same direction while maintaining its intensity over a prescribed distance. This all takes place in unison when the laser beam is fired. The end result is an extremely tight, focused beam of energy concentrated enough to precisely target a specific point. This is where IPL and Laser differ.
For example, when treating broken capillaries in the face, a wavelength of 532nm (nanometers) is selected. Once the laser beam is fired, the energy travels through the skin and is absorbed by the capillary.
This is where the colour of the laser beam is important because different colours of light are attracted and absorbed by specific structures within the skin. This process is technically known as “selective thermolysis” In this particular instance, 532nm is a green light which is attracted to capillaries, whereas a 694nm wavelength of light is red in colour and mostly attracted to pigmentation such as freckles. Once a freckle has absorbed laser energy, it is broken down by the body and disposed of. The freckle will crust up, form a scab and then fall off within 1-3 weeks. This amazing technology allows lasers to select their targets without damaging the surrounding tissue.
What causes a laser to target different tissue within the skin is controlled by its wavelength – also known as the energy of the light. Many high end lasers of today are manufactured as multi platform stations which allow for many different wavelengths within the one system, making it very convenient to have multiple conditions treated simultaneously
