LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TREATMENTS

Treatment Overview

Laser Tattoo Removal is a safe and effective way of permanently removing a tattoo, using Q-switched Passive Laser Technology.

 

While some methods such as over-the-counter creams and surgery can result in scarring and infection, Q-switched Passive Laser Tattoo Removal at Skin Survival is 100% safe and proven to work.

 

Q-switched Passive Laser is the only technology that is able to penetrate down to the dermis and shatter tattoo ink without causing damage to the surrounding skin tissue. All other methods either aren’t capable of reaching and destroying the ink or cause too much damage to the skin, resulting in scarring.

 

The Skin Survival team are fully trained Tattoo Removal specialists who will ensure that your visit to the clinic is one to remember for all the right reasons.

Preparation and Aftercare

  • Recommended preparation for tattoo removal would be to avoid sun exposure for four weeks prior to treatment and avoid any active ingredients on the area getting treated.
     

  • If you have hair over the tattoo please shave before arrival.
     

  • Recommended after-care for tattoo removal would be to remove the dressing that your therapist has applied before you go to bed on the same evening of your appointment. This is to release the heat from the area.
     

  • Do not apply any fragranced creams or make-up to the treated area within 48 hours and keep the area as clean as possible.
     

  • Always use sunblock any time you go outside and avoid exposure to sun.
     

  • Avoid baths, hot tubs and swimming pools for 24 to 48 hours as these can increase the chance of infection.
     

  • Treated area may feel tender post-treatment and may become itchy. It is common to get blisters, bruising and swelling following treatment.
     

  • Do not pick or scratch at the treated area – this is very important to lessen the chance of scarring the area. If blisters pop and become infected, please refer to your GP for an antibiotic treatment.
     

  • Complete healing time is 8-12 weeks. It may look like the surface of the skin has healed however, the deeper layers of the day need this full time to heal. We therefore recommend waiting 8-12 weeks prior to your next treatment.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Laser tattoo removal works when an intense laser light from a specialist laser gun  breaks up the tattoo ink pigment into small particles. These small pigment particles are then naturally flushed out of the body. Black ink is the easiest colour to treat as it absorbs the laser light best, but all colours can be treated.

  • Is laser hair removal permanent?
    The hair follicle that is destroyed during laser hair removal is permanently eliminated. However, over time, new hair follicles can develop in the same area. This is why maintenance sessions are recommended after completing your initial course of treatments—to target any new growth and help maintain long-term smooth results.
  • How painful is laser hair removal?
    Our machines are virtually pain-free, thanks to the advanced technology we use. We invest in the highest-quality equipment to ensure treatments are as comfortable as possible, with minimal discomfort. If you have any concerns about pain, don’t hesitate to speak with your laser technician. Be sure to follow our pre- and post-treatment care guidelines to ensure the best possible experience.
  • Can I get laser hair removal when pregnant?
    Unfortunately, laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy. If you become pregnant during your course of treatments, please let us know—we’ll be happy to pause your sessions and resume them once it's safe to continue.
  • How often are my sessions during my course?
    You’ll be slipping out of your clothes and joining us every 6–8 weeks. Lucky you!
