TATTOO UK

Tattoo removal, tattoo removal by laser is the most popular way of tattoo removal, it can take more than one session for tattoo removal to remove the tattoo completely.

  There are three options to remove tattoos that are rapidly becoming more and more popular – laser technology, light based technology and tattoo removal cream.
  Both of the surgery options use light energy to destroy the ink in the tattoo. The ink in the tattoo will absorb the energy of the light, breaking it up. Once the ink starts to break up it is easily passed through and out of your body through filtering. In most cases this is extremely safe, as the ink is broken down into micro size to where it can easily pass through the body with no complications.
  The surgeon who performs the removal will hold a wand to the skin that is being treated. The wand is normally held right up against the tattoo, as this makes the pulses of light much more effective.
  Normally the feeling is best described as an elastic or rubber band flicking constantly against your skin. If you have a large tattoo the pain could be a bit more painful. Where you have the tattoo is important as sensitive areas may cause you quite a bit of pain and discomfort. If the area in which you have the tattoo doesn’t have a lot of muscle or tissue you’ll more than likely want to be numbed as much as possible before starting the procedure.
  Both laser and light based treatments are somewhat similar. With both tattoo removal procedures, the doctor that is doing the procedure will always apply a cooling gel to the tattoo area that is being treated to cool the skin and conduct the energy of the light. This cooling gel helps to draw the light, and at the same time protect your skin. The gel will feel cool to the touch, although it will help your skin when the light pulses start to break the ink apart.
  A gel is applied on to the area to be treated, and then a handheld wand is used to release pulses of light onto the skin. It is less painful than a laser tattoo removal treatment and is more effective. Since it’s more effective and the sessions required are most likely to be less.
