Also known as the “China Doll” treatment or the “Hollywood Facial,” Treatments use carbon facials and concentrated laser beam technology to beautify, smoothen and brighten the skin while getting rid of acne scarring.

How do carbon facials and laser beams deliver clearer, smoother, brighter-looking skin?

Carbon crème applied to the face is absorbed through the pores into the skin’s oil glands. Afterward, the Tri-Beam’s gentle stream of laser heat is concentrated onto the pigments, activating the carbon particles and shattering them into tiny particles that clean and rejuvenate the skin epidermis. The outer layer of dead skin cells is peeled off, leaving the skin exfoliated and purified from the inside out.

A laser that is used for tattoo removal is a highly focused laser that rapidly delivers a beam of light to the skin for the purposes of removing unwanted tattoos.  The laser is attracted by darker colours found in the ink of the tattoo in preference to the lighter colour of the skin. 

 When the beam of the laser strikes the ink in a tattoo it shatters the ink into very fine particles.  These particles are then no longer visible to the eye and become small enough to be absorbed and removed by the body’s own natural filtration (lymphatic) system. 

The TRI-BEAM Q-Switched ND YAG Laser is specially designed for the purpose of tattoo removal.  This laser allows very high powered laser light to be delivered to the skin over a fraction of a second.  This minimises any damage that could be caused by overheating the surrounding skin and hence any chance of scarring is greatly reduced. 

Generally treatments are quick and clients experience only minimal discomfort.  The older the tattoo, the more treatments may be necessary and different colours and more intricate designs may also require additional treatments. 

Our clinic offers treatments with the TRI-BEAM Q Switched ND YAG Laser which can remove tattoos containing black, dark and light blue, green and red pigments within 6-12 sessions based on the quality of tattoo.  By matching the colour of the laser to the colour of the unwanted tattoo ink, multi-coloured professional tattoos as well as single colour amateur tattoos can be removed safely and effectively.

How many treatments are necessary?

It is impossible to accurately predict the number of treatments necessary as it depends on the amount of ink used and how deep the ink was inserted.  However as a guide most professional tattoos will require at least six to twelve treatments.  Follow up treatments are conducted at no less than 4-6 week intervals.  Further fading can occur for several months after each treatment.

Can all types of tattoos be treated?

It is possible to remove or significantly lighten most tattoos.  Black, blue and red tattoos tend to respond well.  Aqua, green and yellow tattoos may be more resistant and only partially fade.  White tattoos reflect laser light and therefore do not respond to laser treatment.

What are the costs likely to be?

Treatment costs will vary depending on the size, colour and time required to treat the tattoo.  This can be discussed during your initial consultation. 

How frequent are the treatments?

Time is required between each treatment in order to allow the body’s lymphatic (cleaning) system to remove the ink that has been treated by the laser.  A minimum period of 6-8 weeks between treatments is recommended.

How long after being tattooed can removal commence?

Removal can commence as soon as the tattoo has completely healed.  Although it may appear healed within a week or two the tattoo will still require further time to completely heal prior to removal commencing.  A minimum period of 6-8 weeks is advised.  Your initial consultation can take place at any time during the six weeks.

Can the area be re-tattooed?

Yes the area can be re-tattooed following laser removal, it works fantastically for cover ups!  Whether you have had complete removal, partial removal or just lightening of the area will be able to be re-tattooed.  The wish to replace an existing tattoo is a common reason for having laser tattoo removal.

Will the tattoo completely disappear?

On average, 90% fading is considered a good result. Tattoo Removal is great for people wanting to have a cover up as we can drastically fade the existing tattoo. The result depends upon the colour and type of ink used as well as the depth of penetration of the ink in the skin.  Your therapist can discuss with you the likeliness of success during your initial consultation. 100% removal can not be guaranteed.
