Why should we choose you?

There are lots of tattoo removal services being offered. Most of these use low-powered lasers which are inadequate, yet claim to have best lasers! We have seen scarring from use of these lasers which merely heat the pigment and surrounding tissue in a non-specific way. This can make subsequent tattoo removal difficult. Only active q-switched powerful medical lasers should be used for tattoo removal. Some medical clinics also use low powered passive q-switched lasers which are simply not powerful enough.

We have more dedicated lasers than any othe clinic within 100 miles or more. We have q switched ruby as well as q switched nd-yag lasers for removal of most colours. We can also use a CO2 laser in some circumstances. Immediate white response must be seen to achieve successful tattoo removal. Watch a short video clip which illustrates this-

What methods of Tattoo Removal are available?

We must stress that older methods of tattoo removal are now outdated and have been replaced by better technology. There may be limited use of some of these methods in special circumstances. These methods included dermabrasion, chemical peels, destruction of tattoo ink by various forms of injectable substances.

Why are older Tattoo Removal methods not recommended?

Older methods used to remove the part of skin with the tattoo! The results were less than desirable due to scarring. Whilst surgical excision may have a role in some smaller tattoos, older methods of tattoo removal cause unacceptable scarring and poor cosmetic outcome. We have seen some significant scars and keloids resulting from tattoo removal attempts by non-medical personnel. Creams and injections simply do not work.

Why are Q switched Tattoo Removal lasers so good?

Q switched lasers produce very high powered and short nanosecond [one billionth of a second] pulses of light that shatter and disperse pigment particles without damaging the skin. Consequently ink particles are removed and surrounding skin is not damages. This dramatically reduces the risk of scarring.
