Decorative tattoos have a history dating back at least 5000 years. The desire to remove them has probably existed for just as long. If the current scenario is anything to go by, more than half the world’s population has gotten a tattoo at some point in their lives. Considering this number, the amount of people wanting to get rid of their tattoos is sure to be high. A study conducted stated that three in ten Australians have experienced tattoo regret and at least one in ten have, at some point, have looked for tattoo removal options.
While early attempts at tattoo removal have had less than desirable results with dermabrasion, salabrasion and Argon or C02 lasers leaving behind scars in place of the tattoo, the advent of Q switched pulsed lasers has made tattoo removal a far more effective procedure, permitting the removal of most tattoo inks with a very low risk of scarring.
Who Can Undergo Tattoo Removal?
The best part about tattoo removal treatments is that everyone can consider it. While there are some shades and hues that are slow to respond to certain procedures or refuse to budge, your suitability for the procedure can be determined by an initial consultation with our aestheticians.
By analysing your tattoos, your health condition, and other relevant factors, we will be able to determine how well you would respond to the treatment we offer.
Tattoo Removal in Melbourne Using Laser Procedures
Over the years, laser treatment has become the most frequently used procedure for tattoo removal by clinics in Melbourne, and even across the world. One of the reasons why it is thus recommended is its ability to target only the ink on the skin without damaging the skin. The recent innovations of laser technology for tattoo removal have evolved to an extent where every kind of ink can be targeted by setting the frequency of the laser to break down those ink particles. Further, laser equipment also ensure that they affect no other part of the skin and leave no scars behind.
Once the ink particles are broken down, they are eliminated by the body naturally.
Laser Tattoo Removal Using PicoSure Pro Laser at Cosmetic Skin Doctors Clinic
The PicoSure Pro laser is yet another technology that makes tattoo removal easier. The 755nm wavelength is able to target black, blue, and green tattoo inks. You’ll also be able to:
- Tailor treatments using variable spot sizes
- Use turbo mode to better treat recalcitrant tattoos with shortened pulse width
PicoSure Pro can significantly lighten or remove many tattoo inks. It is particularly advanced in the removal of blue, black and red inks. The PicoSure Pro laser removes tattoo ink with the energy of light. Just as natural sunlight is made up of light wavelengths of many colours, a laser is designed to produce one or more specific wavelengths of light. These wavelengths are either absorbed, reflected or simply passed through objects.
It is also one of the only few procedures for tattoo removal that are non-invasive and non-scarring. Apart from tattoo removal, the laser can also be used to treat skin problems like pigmentation, lesions, fine lines, and more.
At Cosmetic Skin Doctors Clinic, we are committed to analysing, consulting, and treating every patient with the aim to provide exceptional results. Our practitioners are skilled and equipped to carry out laser tattoo removal treatments with the utmost care while reducing every chance of scarring or infection.
