LASER TATTOO REMOVAL FAQs

Most clients find laser tattoo removal treatments not overly uncomfortable or unbearable. The experience is described as the continual flicking of a rubber band onto the skin. The location of the tattoo on the body determines how much discomfort there is during the treatment. The more sensitive the skin area, the greater the discomfort level during treatment. The majority of the discomfort ends immediately at the end of the laser tattoo removal treatment.

To assist with your pain management should you require it, you’ll be offered extended pain relief with Topical Dermal Anaesthetic Cream in addition to the standard cooling method using the Zimmer Cryo6 Cold Air Device. This device is used before, during and after the process to maintain skin comfort during treatment.

NO TWO TATTOOS ARE THE SAME AND NO TWO CLIENTS ARE THE SAME.

That is why we tailor our Laser Tattoo Removal Programs individually for every client. Whether a full removal is required, a fade for a cover up or the removal of a misplaced comma, we will create an individual program and honour the agreed price throughout your Laser Tattoo Removal journey.

WE OFFER THREE WAYS TO OBTAIN A PRICE QUOTATION

ABSOLUTELY NOT. The laser tattoo removal treatment does not ‘burn’ the skin or the tattoo to effect removal. At Disappear, we utilise the world’s best laser system for laser tattoo removal, the Quanta Systemens Discovery PICO Laser System. The laser energy actually shatters the ink particles in the tattoo into tiny micro-fragments. These micro-fragments are then carried away from the tattoo site by the body’s own lymphatic system.

Tattoos are designed to be permanent. That means they are not simple to remove, however they are not impossible to remove either, especially when the world’s best laser system is used.

There are two main types of tattoos; The Amateur Tattoo and the Professional Multi-Coloured Tattoo. The single colour, Amateur Tattoo usually responds extremely well to laser tattoo removal treatment. Professional Multi-Coloured Tattoos are more difficult to remove as you would expect. The level of difficulty is dependent on the colours of the tattoo, ink compositions used in the tattoo and the depth of the embedded inks in the skin. Black, blue and red colours in the tattoo are not overly difficult to remove as they readily absorb laser energy. However green, yellow and purple pigments require special attention and the Quanta Systems Discovery PICO Laser System is specifically designed to target these colours in Professional Tattoos.

Best results are achieved when treatments are spaced six to eight weeks apart as the natural process of the body removing the micro-fragments of ink particles is on-going despite the ‘look’ on the surface that nothing is happening. Treating a tattoo earlier than six weeks does not speed the process of removal.

Disappear Laser Clinic + Tattoo Removal follows the ‘Less is More’ principle and we do not take unnecessary short-cuts with our clients. We also utilise the world’s best laser system for laser tattoo removal, the Quanta Systems Discovery PICO Laser System. This system does not ‘burn’ the skin or the tattoo to effect removal. The laser energy actually shatters the ink particles in the tattoo into very tiny micro fragments. These micro-fragments are then carried away from the tattoo site by the body’s own lymphatic system. This shattering effect and natural dispersal result in less ink at the tattoo site and so there is a gradual, but noticeable fading of the tattoo. Some tattoos may respond to as few as two treatments but most usually require between four to eight treatments to be completely removed.

Some tattoos may respond to as few as two (2) treatments but most usually require between six (6) to ten (10) treatments to be completely removed. Some multi-coloured professional tattoos with unique inks, colours and frosting techniques may require from ten (10) to fourteen (14) treatments. The total number depends on the location of the tattoo, the amount of ink in the tattoo, how deep the tattoo is in the skin, whether it was a professional or amateur tattoo, your overall health and fitness and other factors as well. Your Disappear Laser Clinician will assess your tattoo and quote the expected number of laser tattoo removal treatments. Should more treatments be required beyond the original number, these treatments will be free of charge. For us it’s all about Incredible Service and Incredible Results.

Many people get a tattoo on the weekend and then on Monday want it removed. Unfortunately, the tattoo has to be allowed to fully heal first before laser tattoo removal can begin. Healing takes between 8 to 12 weeks. This way the skin fully recovers and the tattoo ink settles. Once healed, the laser tattoo removal treatment can do its job. Treating a tattoo before it is fully healed can lead to scarring and skin discolouration, so for a good removal outcome – patience is paramount.
