Laser Dermatology is the first specialist dermatology clinic in Australia to offer laser tattoo removal.
If you are choosing to remove a tattoo you don't want to replace it with a scar, the following questions should be asked when choosing a laser practitioner.
Laser Dermatology can answer YES to all the following important questions:
These pigment specific tattoo removal lasers fade or remove tattoo ink with the energy of light. The laser removes the ink by using a specific colour of light that passes through normal skin and is absorbed by the tattoo ink without damaging surrounding tissue. Rapid absorption of laser light energy causes the tattoo pigment to break into smaller granules so it can be removed by the body's natural filtering systems.
There is no safe method of removing a tattoo in one treatment. All single treatment methods such as infrared coagulation, surgical excision, dermabrasion and acid de-tattooing will damage the skin and leave a scar.
