Laser Tattoo Removal

Most tattoos, whether done by a professional or an amateur tattoo artist, are permanent. Laser treatment works better on dark pigmented tattoos (black, blue, and green) than on light pigmented tattoos (red and yellow). 

TREATMENT

Using light energy, the laser breaks up the pigment in the tattoo to microscopic pieces. It is your white blood cells that remove the ink thru your body over a period of 4 weeks. Soon after treatment, the body will gradually absorb the broken pigmentation and regenerate new skin free of the tattoo pigment. There are many factors on how fast and how many treatments you may need. To avoid discomfort, numbing cream is an option that can be applied. The cream takes 1.5 hrs to take effect but significantly reduces the pain. The actual laser treatment is quite quick. Most tattoos only take a few minutes. Larger tattoos can take up to 1 hour.

SCHEDULED TREATMENT 

Treatments must be repeated. The number of sessions required is determined by a variety of factors. The quality of the tattoo work, the ink quality, the age of the tattoo, and the colours used in the design. Because the laser works on the skin's surface, there will be 3-5 days of downtime, and the skin will need to heal between sessions. The time between sessions is a minimum of 4 weeks or longer. Tattoo removal is a process and takes time but great results can happen if you are patient.

AFTERCARE

After your procedure, your treated area may or may not present with pinpoint bleeding, blisters,

bruising, redness, slight swelling. This should subside within a few days. We will photograph all data for our records..

After you are treated, you will leave in a sterile state with the area fully covered with a

dressing placed over the treatment site. You will also receive this sheet that we will have read

out. Leave dressing in place for up to 2 hours.

You must keep all treated areas in a sterile state.

It is your full obligation to follow the post care instructions.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

KEEP THE AREA STERILE AT ALL TIMES. Don’t soak the area for

an excessive amount of time in water, the area will go mushy and get infected.

(Showering is ok, see hints below)

COMPROMISED. Don’t wear tight clothing that will cause chaffing and irritation.

Avoid contact and impact on treated area.

AVOID SWIMMING AND SUN EXPOSURE. Best to not go swimming or full sun exposure for the first 2 days or until your scab has formed, especially for larger tattoos. Smaller tattoos will heal much faster. Apply spf 50+

plus and completely cover the area if you are spending prolonged periods in the sun, again not advisable. It is preferred you never soak a treated tattoo.

AVOID OVERHEATING AND SWEATING, Keep area cool. Do not

injure or overheat the area. Best to not directly tan on the area if possible. Best to avoid Saunas for a couple of days.

AVOID COVERING FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME,

unless it’s required. Never use plastic waterproof coverings. Allow the area to dry out

and avoid it from getting soggy, let it breathe. The longer it is soggy and moist the longer it will take to heal.

• AVOID THE USAGE OF DIRTY BANDAGES AND COVERINGS.

Remember to keep the area sterile at all time.

AVOID HOME-MADE REMEDIES. Never allow hazardous or

dangerous fluids or substances on the area.

HINTS FOR POST CARE

• After shower, gym etc you have the option also to drizzle with a saline solution or botled water. Tap water in INdonesia is dirty. Pat the area on the skin and allow it to dry out.

• Powder with Nebacetin Powder or Medipulv Antiseptic powder and place

a STERILE gauze swab loosely on area until there is a healthy scab. Usually it will take around 1 week. Again healing time depends on the size. of your tattoo and what you do in your spare time.

• Once you have a healthy scab don’t allow it to get injured and moisturize

it regularly throughout the day (Vitaman A, D ointment is a suggested). You may not use non-industry standard topical skin products.

• Your tattoo might start to get itchy , this fine but dont scratch it and Don’t pick the blisters/ tattoo ever! or you WILL scar.

INFECTION AND SCARRING

Scarring and infection may occur in up to 75% of removal procedures. The skin is already

scarred from the needle penetrations of where the tattoo was applied and lies just under the

epidermis.

are associated with Laser Tattoo Removal Procedures. We do not guarantee full removal of the

ink, nor can we predict the pace at which your immune cells will create a fading of the area.

BE AWARE OF ABNORMAL HEALING

Swollen, excessive redness, oozing, puss and any other indication of abnormal healing MUST

BE IMMEDIATELY INSPECTED BY A DOCTOR. Only a Medical Practitioner will be able

to diagnose and explain the situation and prescribe appropriate treatment.Most likely antibiotics. If you are not sure fell free to ask me.

BE SAFE. If you have blisters and your skin presents areas that are weeping, you should change

gauze daily until a well-formed scab has formed. Always use a very loose piece of gauze so that

the skin can breathe.

This may sound like a lot to digest but in reality just keeping it as dry and sterile as possible until the scabs have formed and it will heal well for your next treatment.

FAQ’s

  • There are many factors when it comes to removing tattoos. The age of the tattoo, the placement on the body, the color of the ink, the type of ink used.

    Tattoo removal is a process, it cannot be rushed. Most tattoos take a minimum of 6-8 treatments, with a minimum of one month apart each treatment.

  • Your skin is already scarred from when you got the tattoo. It is highly unlikely you will scar. If the treatments are performed correctly and the aftercare is adhered to most people are fine. There is never a 100% guarantee so having a thorough chat with your technician, making sure you follow the aftercare is highly advised before you make any decisions.

  • Yes you can. Usually older tattoos remove quicker than new ones but again with good ink done by a good artist a new tattoo can still be removed. Depending on the size of the tattoo you should wait a minimum 4-6 weeks after getting the tattoo before you start to remove it, because your skin needs time to heal.

  • Tattoo removal does hurt unfortunately but each procedure is quite quick. Some people opt to use numbing cream which can bring the pain level down. It is uncomfortable but not unbearable but its a lot quicker to remove a tattoo than to put one in your skin.

  • Removing tattoos is like peeling an onion. We are just taking a layer off each time. The darkest parts of your tattoo will be the last parts to be removed as they are the deepest under your dermis. Grey scale or light shading removes a lot quicker than linework. It takes 28 days for your body to remove the ink particles after each laser treatment.

  • Most side effects from removals will be healed within the first 7-10 days. The first 2-4 days will be the worst depending where the tattoo is and the size of it. You may present with bruising, pinpoint bleeding, blisters, the area may swell up. Again these are all part of the process and really are quite minimal on most tattoos.

  • The price varies depending on the size of the tattoo and how much ink is in each tattoo.

    At Cleanslate we offer free consultations and make sure each client knows exactly how much their tattoo removal procedure will cost before any treatments are performed.
