Tattoo Removal

Q1. How Tattoos are removed by laser?

Removal of Tattoos is a state of the art usage of lasers to direct energy at the ink in your tattoo for a fraction of a second. The laser energy passes harmlessly through the outer layer of your skin to target the tattoo ink directly. The laser fragments the ink into smaller components, which allows your body to absorb the ink and process it naturally.

Q2. Can colour be removed from Tattoos?

Most colours of Tattoos can be removed completely. While some colors require more treatments than other colors, even the most challenging colors will usually fade to a point where they're nearly impossible to see.

Q3. How many sittings are required and what the gap between one and other?

This depends on the size, colour and place where tattoos are removed.

Q4. How painful is the process?

Pain is a personal thing that is different for each individual. Tattoo removal treatments are uncomfortable, but easily tolerable. They are also completed very quickly. Numbing cream is applied to make the treatment as comfortable as possible and get rid of post treatment inconvenience. Ice packs are also prescribed during post treatment.

After the Laser treatment, the area is initially red and swollen. This will reduce over approximately 7 days and the scar reduces in appearance.

The Laser treatment is the first and only fractional laser treatment clinically proven to improve the appearance of scars.

Hair Removal by Laser

Q1. Why is laser the treatment of choice for hair removal?

Lasers remove hair for good, giving a long-lasting, even permanent result. Your skin can get rid of unwanted hair that has bothered you for so long.Traditional hair removal methods, such as waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, plucking/tweezing, sugaring, and stringing provide only temporary results — some for fewer than 24 hours. Within hours or possibly days, you are back at it again, hunched over a magnifying mirror to tweeze out facial hair, running a razor over tender skin, or enduring painful waxing. To make it worse, these methods can often stimulate hair growth! Laser has advantage, Laser treatment does not let the hair grow out a few days before your treatments in order to get it to work, as you do with the other methods. Once you start working with Laser, you begin your life of being hair free where you want to be.

Q2. How does laser remove hair?

Hair removal lasers emit a light at a specific wavelength that is known to be absorbed by the pigment (color) in the hair follicle — without damaging the surrounding skin. The light is converted to heat energy, which in turn disables the hair follicle so that it does not produce another hair.

Q3. What makes a Laser hair removal treatment safe and comfortable?

Advanced Contact Cooling System is used to protect outer skin during a laser hair removal treatment. The laser’s light emerges through a sapphire crystal window that is pressed against skin, to instantly remove the heat that gives a little pinch feeling as the laser pulses. Patients experience minimum discomfort during Laser Light treatment.

Removal of hair through Laser treatment safely treats any body part except for the small area inside the bony ridge of the eye socket.
