Technology description
Laser Tattoo Removal is considered to be the best technology for tattoo removal. We use four very high powered tattoo removal laser systems that deliver ultra short pulses of laser light to destroy tattoo pigment. Q switched lasers are considered the 'gold-standard' lasers for tattoo removal. Very short impulses of highly-concentrated light energy and of proper wavelength target the tattoo pigment and breaks it down into little molecules. So tiny are the molecules of the broken pigment that our immunology system can remove them easily. This procedure needs to be repeated after the required period of 4 to 8 weeks. Extending the period between procedures does not withdraw the effects of tattoo removal. The procedures of tattoo removal have been applied for a few decades. However, only the latest method that we offer makes it possible to remove the tattoo without serious side effects such as scarring or long-term skin damage. In most cases the skin is slightly swollen and reddened following the procedure. These symptoms disappear within a few days. The procedure is almost painless and does not impede your daily life functioning. The procedure of tattoo removal is normally less hurting than tattooing itself. In addition external pain- relief creams and sprays are available. White pigment cannot be removed at all.
