People choose tattoos for a myriad of reasons—some for enjoyment, others as a form of personal expression or passion. Tattoos convey style, attitude, and sometimes even societal statements, and they have become a trend for the last decade. But whether it is due to fading artistic preferences, carrier changes, or simply a desire for clean skin, individuals may seek complete removal. But removing it is often challenging, as tattoo ink is deposited beneath the layers of skin. But fear not, as there is a painless solution: laser tattoo removal treatment. This advanced laser technology provides a state-of-the-art solution for achieving tattoo removal with safety and efficacy. This blog will help you explore what a laser tattoo removal service is and what you can expect during and after the treatment and you can witness the before and after images.

Can you remove tattoos permanently?

Yes, advancements in laser technology have made it possible to remove tattoos permanently. Laser tattoo removal services effectively target and break down the ink particles embedded in the skin, allowing the body’s natural processes to eliminate them gradually.

How does a laser tattoo removal service work?

Laser tattoo removal involves the use of high-intensity light beams that penetrate the skin to break up tattoo pigment particles. The laser targets the pigment colours, causing them to fragment into smaller particles that are then naturally eliminated by the body’s natural immune system. The colour of the tattoo ink influences the choice of the laser used, as different wavelengths ensure optimal results without damaging the surrounding skin.

What types of tattoos can be removed at the Evenly clinic?

At Evenly Clinic, we specialise in the removal of various types of tattoos, including:

  • Professional Tattoos: Ink from professionally applied tattoos, including intricate designs and multi-coloured artwork, can be effectively targeted for removal.
  • Amateur Tattoos: Tattoos created at home or by inexperienced artists can also be safely removed using our advanced laser technology.
  • Cosmetic Tattoos: Permanent makeup tattoos, such as eyebrow or lip liner tattoos, can be treated to reduce or completely eliminate their appearance.
  • Old Tattoos: Regardless of the age of the tattoo, our treatments can help diminish the visibility of older tattoos that no longer align with your preferences.

Our experienced dermatologists customise treatment plans based on each patient’s unique tattoo characteristics and skin type, ensuring safe and effective removal results.

Who is the ideal candidate for a tattoo removal service?

If you are 18 years of age or older and have an unwanted tattoo, laser tattoo removal treatment is available at Evenly Clinic. However, our dermatologists recommend that pregnant and early lactating women avoid or defer undergoing this treatment.

Tattoo Removal Treatment at the Evenly Clinic

At Evenly Clinic, our skilled dermatologists are extensively trained to perform tattoo removal treatments using state-of-the-art Q-switched Nd laser technology sourced from Alma Lasers Inc. This USFDA-approved technology is renowned for its precision in targeting and removing tattoo pigments effectively.

The Q-switched Nd laser at Evenly Clinic offers variable fluencies that can penetrate both superficial and deep dermal layers to break down tattoo pigments safely and efficiently. This ensures optimal results while minimising the risk of damage to the surrounding skin.

Our medical experts customise laser parameters based on individual factors such as skin tone, tattoo ink colours, size, and type. Before the procedure, they recommend the application of numbing cream to enhance comfort and ensure a virtually pain-free experience during treatment.

During the procedure, a focused light beam is directed at the tattoo, selectively targeting and fragmenting the ink particles. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these fragmented particles through its immune system, gradually fading the appearance of the tattoo. The duration of this process varies depending on factors like tattoo complexity and location.

At Evenly Clinic, comprehensive pre- and post-care support is provided to minimise potential side effects and maximise treatment outcomes. Our dermatologists guide each patient through the healing process, ensuring a smooth and effective tattoo removal journey.

Laser tattoo removal at Evenly Clinic is suitable for removing both professional and amateur tattoos, as well as coloured and black ink tattoos. Multiple treatment sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, with the number of sessions determined based on individual considerations such as tattoo size, ink colour, skin type, and the client’s age.

Tattoo Removal Treatment Procedure at the Evenly Clinic

At Evenly Clinic, our tattoo removal procedure is meticulously designed to deliver safe and effective results using advanced laser technology.

  • Consultation and Assessment: Before commencing treatment, every patient undergoes a thorough consultation with our experienced dermatologists. During this session, your medical history, skin type, tattoo characteristics, and treatment expectations are carefully assessed. This allows us to craft personalized laser removal treatment plan to address your individual tattoo concerns.
  • Pre-Treatment Preparation: Before the procedure, our therapists apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure your comfort during the session. To ensure your comfort throughout the process, we’ll provide protective eyewear that keeps your eyes shielded from the laser’s light.
  • Laser Tattoo Removal Process: We utilise state-of-the-art Q-switched Nd YAG laser technology, renowned for its precision and effectiveness in targeting tattoo pigments. Our advanced laser delivers short, powerful pulses that gently penetrate your skin and shatter the tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments.
  • Targeted Ink Absorption: During the procedure, the tattoo pigments absorb the laser energy, causing them to fragment. This process is designed to selectively target the ink while minimising damage to the surrounding skin tissue.
  • Post-Treatment Care: After the session, our team provides detailed post-care instructions to optimise healing and reduce the risk of side effects. This may include the application of soothing creams or ointments and recommendations for sun protection.
  • Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on the size, colour, and depth of your tattoo, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve your desired results. Our dermatologists will assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal outcomes.

Potential risks and side effects of laser tattoo removal services

While laser tattoo removal is generally safe when performed by a trained professional, It is important to be aware of some potential side effects.

  • Temporary discomfort: Most patients experience some discomfort during the laser treatment, which can be managed with topical numbing cream or cooling devices.
  • Redness and swelling: These are common post-treatment reactions that typically resolve within a few days.
  • Blistering: Blistering can occur, especially after more aggressive laser settings. These blisters should not be popped and will heal on their own.
  • Scarring: Scarring is a rare complication, but it’s more likely in individuals with a history of keloid scarring or those who pick at the treated area during healing.
  • Hypopigmentation (lighter skin): Laser treatment can disrupt melanin production, leading to lighter skin in the treated area.
  • Infection: While uncommon, proper care is crucial to minimise the risk of infection.
