Does Laser Tattoo Removal Actually Work?
December 7th, 2016
When it comes to removing an unwanted tattoo or fading it enough to do a good cover-up, you’ll want to make sure you do it right. Our skin has multiple important functions – not just for sensation but also for protection and regulation. If tattoo removal goes wrong, it leads to skin damage and the potential for scarring or infection.
In this article we look at laser tattoo removal being the gold standard for safe and effective tattoo removal along with before and after photos.
Laser Tattoo Removal Sets The Benchmark
Due to the depth at which tattoo ink is injected, laser tattoo removal can provide the safest, least invasive and most effective option. Alternative options can result in a scar (for example surgical removal), or risk scarring, infection or damage to your skin (for example dermabrasion, acid injections or creams). Laser tattoo removal works by precisely targeting the tattoo ink and breaking it down into tiny particles so that your body can then clear the ink through its natural detox processes.
The PicoWay in Sydney has reached the gold standard for removing tattoos due to its high power output and ability to treat multiple colours with now three wavelenghts. If you are looking at a qswitch there are some with four wavelengths – 1064 nm, 532 nm, 585 nm and 650 nm. With the Spectra, the tattoo ink is shattered thermoacoustically with very short, high energy pulses.
The Spectra has been engineered to provide maximum effect while minimising damage to the surrounding skin. The laser energy is targeted to the ink so the surrounding skin is mostly unaffected, however any discomfort caused is reduced with our skin cooling system which pumps out cold air at -30 degrees Celcius to help numb the treatment area.

You need to keep in mind that the level of tattoo clearance differs for every individual due to a variety of factors, including for example: type, colour and depth of ink, where on the body the tattoo is, skin tone, size of the tattoo and each individuals lymphatic system capabilities.
