Regarding Laser Tattoo Removal
Numerous lasers are effective in tattoo removal. A consultation with one of our specialist tattoo removal nurses will determine the most suitable laser for your tattoo.
The latest technology in tattoo removal involves the Picosecond laser by Tattoo Removal Melbourne. This laser is versatile and has been proven effective in treating many tattoos.
The Q-Switched Nd: YAG and Alexandrite lasers have a long history in tattoo removal and are particularly effective in removing blue, black, and red inks (YAG) and greens and aquas (Alexandrite). They are often successful in cases where the generalized Picosecond laser has not been.
Laser tattoo removal operates by using light energy to break down the pigments in the tattoo ink. These ink particles are then absorbed by the body and eliminated through the body's natural cleansing processes.
How long will it take for my tattoo to vanish?
Various claims are made by those providing tattoo removal services, which can create unrealistic expectations regarding the speed and effectiveness of the treatment.
Based on our experience, different coloured tattoo inks require varying amounts of laser treatment to fade. Additionally, since tattoo ink is unregulated and tattoos can be acquired from any part of the world, it is challenging to ascertain the composition and density of the tattoo ink.
Some patients may notice fading almost immediately, while most will observe gradual fading over several treatments.
What is the cost of removing my tattoo?
The cost of tattoo removal Melbourne primarily depends on the size of the tattoo. Naturally, smaller tattoos require less laser time and will be less expensive.
Secondly, the cost is influenced by the colours used in the tattoo. Some colour pigments are more resistant to fading than others.
A patient's skin type also plays a role in determining the safe laser power level. If a lower power setting is necessary, the tattoo may take longer to fade.
For these reasons, we do not provide cost estimates for removal until we have seen the tattoo. We offer a complimentary consultation with a tattoo removal specialist at our clinic, who will assess your tattoo, skin type, and other relevant factors and then provide a treatment quote.
It is important to note that this will be an approximate cost only. You will receive a quote for each session, with an estimated number of sessions required.
