Clinically Proven Laser Technology for Precise Tattoo Removal

.avif

Unwanted tattoos can affect confidence or limit new aesthetic goals — but they don’t have to be permanent.

At Skin & Scar Care Clinic, we offer advanced tattoo correction and removal using state-of-the-art laser technology to fade or completely remove tattoos safely and effectively, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Our clinic specialises in multi-wavelength laser systems, including the PICO Laser and Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser, allowing precise targeting of different ink pigments for optimal clearance and skin protection.

Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is the gold-standard, clinically proven method for breaking down tattoo pigment without damaging surrounding skin.

It works by delivering short bursts of high-energy light into the ink particles beneath the skin. These particles are shattered into microscopic fragments, which are then naturally cleared away by your body’s immune system over the following weeks.

Over a series of sessions, the tattoo fades progressively until it becomes significantly lighter or disappears completely.

Indications — When to Consider Tattoo Correction

* Laser tattoo removal is suitable for clients who:

* Wish to remove an unwanted tattoo permanently.

* Plan a tattoo cover-up and need existing ink lightened first.

* Have uneven or poorly executed tattoo work.

* Experience tattoo regret or professional restrictions.

* Have pigment migration from older cosmetic tattoos (e.g., eyebrows, lips).

We tailor every treatment to the colour, age, and depth of your tattoo.

1️⃣ PICO Laser Removal (Picosecond Technology)

Our PICO Laser delivers ultra-short energy pulses (trillionths of a second), breaking ink into even smaller particles than traditional systems — ideal for multi-coloured tattoos and faster fading.

  • Effective for stubborn ink and fine detailing.
  • Fewer sessions may be required.
  • Reduced risk of heat-related skin damage.


2️⃣ Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Removal

  • A trusted, time-tested technology for black, blue, and dark-coloured inks.
  • Deep-penetrating 1064 nm wavelength targets dark pigments effectively.
  • The 532 nm setting treats red, orange, and lighter tones.
  • Safe for most skin types with minimal downtime.


3️⃣ Combination Correction Treatments

For complex tattoos or semi-permanent makeup, we may combine laser removal with skin rejuvenation therapies (e.g., CO₂ resurfacing or carboxytherapy) to improve skin texture after pigment clearance.

* Black / Dark Blue Nd:YAG 1064 nm (Q-Switched / PICO)

* Red / Orange. Nd:YAG 532 nm

* Green Alexandrite 755 nm or PICO 532 nm

* Light BluePICO 755 nm

* Yellow / WhitePartial response (may require multiple sessions; some inks resist laser energy)

* Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

* Have active infections, eczema, or open wounds at the site.

* Are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring.

* Have very dark or recent tans.

* Have tattoos containing metallic or fluorescent pigments (these may darken temporarily).

A comprehensive consultation and patch test are performed before treatment to ensure safety and predict response.

1. Consultation & Patch Test

Your journey begins with a detailed assessment by our qualified clinician. We review your tattoo’s colour, depth, ink type, and skin tone, then perform a test pulse to determine your skin’s response.

2. Treatment Session

Protective eyewear is provided to both client and practitioner. The laser handpiece is applied to the tattoo, delivering short, rapid pulses of light energy. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, often described as similar to an elastic band flick — topical numbing or cooling can be used for comfort.

3. CO₂ Laser Treatment

A soothing gel or cold compress is applied to reduce heat and redness immediately after treatment.

4. Recovery & Aftercare

Redness and mild swelling are normal for 24–48 hours. Tiny scabs or frosting (white spots) may appear temporarily. Avoid scratching or picking. Over the next 4–6 weeks, the body naturally clears fragmented ink particles. Sessions are spaced every 6–8 weeks for optimal healing and pigment clearance.

Immediately after treatment:

  • Mild redness, warmth, or swelling may occur for 24–48 hours.
    Tiny micro-dots (laser points) may appear and flake naturally within 5–7 days.
    The area should not be rubbed or exposed to heat until fully healed.

  • After 1–2 weeks:
  • Skin appears smoother and firmer.
    Fine lines start to fade.

After 4–6 weeks:

  • Collagen production increases, leading to progressive tightening and rejuvenation.
  • Results can last up to 2 years, depending on lifestyle and skincare maintenance.

Final results:

  • Most clients see significant fading after 4–8 sessions, depending on tattoo size, colour, and depth.
  • Complete removal may take longer for multi-coloured or densely inked designs.
  • Procedure Time:10–45 minutes
  • Anaesthesia: Optional topical numbing
  • Downtime: Minimal (1–3 days of redness)
  • Sessions Required: 4–10 (depending on tattoo complexity)
  • Treatment Interval: Every 6–8 weeks
  • Visible Results: Progressive fading from session 1
  • Technology Used: PICO Laser & Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser

How Lasers Work?

Lasers

Lasers use specific light energy to target specific areas of the skin including water, blood vessels, pigments like melanin in freckles or tattoo ink or deeper layers of skin. At Skin & Scar Care, we provide advanced Laser treatments using advanced lasers including ablative , non-abltaive and hybrid lasers.

Lasers use focused light energy to target specific skin layers:

Surface layers – to smooth texture, reduce scars, and refresh dull skin.

Deeper layers – to stimulate new collagen production, tighten skin, and restore natural elasticity.

Collagen is your skin’s natural support structure. As we age, collagen breaks down, leading to fine lines, sagging, and tired-looking skin. By encouraging your body to make fresh collagen, lasers give you a natural lift and glow—without surgery.

Our advanced laser technology can be tailored to a wide range of concerns:

Skin Rejuvenation

Brightens dull skin, evens tone, and restores a youthful radiance.

Lunchtime Facelift

Quick, no-downtime laser sessions that tighten and lift the face in under an hour.

Non-Surgical Facelift

A non-invasive way to improve sagging, smooth wrinkles, and redefine contours—without the risks of surgery.

Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)

Targets loose skin around the eyes, lifting heavy lids and reducing under-eye creases for a fresher look.

Scar & Acne Treatments

Improves the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks by remodelling collagen.

Pigmentation & Sun Damage

Reduces age spots, sunspots, freckles, and uneven skin tone.

Skin Tightening & Wrinkle Reduction

Smooths fine lines, reduces deep wrinkles, and firms lax skin.

Laser Treatments:
Ablative vs Non-Ablative

Ablative Lasers (Deep Renewal) CO2/ Er YAG laser

Ablative lasers work by removing the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heating the deeper layer (dermis). This stimulates new collagen production, resurfacing the skin and delivering dramatic results.

  • Deep wrinkles & fine lines
  • Acne & surgical scars
  • Rough texture & sun damage
  • Precancerous skin lesions
  • Advanced skin tightening
  • 5–14 days (redness, swelling, peeling)
  • 1–2 sessions may give dramatic results
  • Perfect if you want major transformation and can allow some downtime.

Non-Ablative Lasers (Gentle Glow)

Non-ablative lasers heat the skin beneath the surface without damaging the top layer. They stimulate collagen and elastin, making them gentler with minimal downtime.

  • Early wrinkles & fine lines
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone or pigmentation
  • Early sun damage
  • Preventive anti-aging (“prejuvenation”)
  • 0–2 days (mild redness/swelling)
  • 3–6 sessions for best results
  • Ideal if you want natural, gradual improvements with little to no downtime.
