• Medical-grade laser breaks up your unwanted
  tattoo into tiny ink particles that are naturally
  absorbed by the body.
• Laser tattoo removal is achieved through the
  use of specialized lasers that work by directing
  energy via highly concentrated colour light
  beams, targeting ink particles that lie beneath
  the skin. These laser pulses shatter the ink
  particles into tiny fragments which are later
  removed by the bodys natural processes, allowing
  the tattoo to eventually disappear. Removing your
  tattoo selectively targets the ink within tattoos
  without causing any damage to the surrounding
  skin, making the process a highly popular
  treatment for a wide variety of people.

• There are many things to take into
  consideration when choosing to remove tattoos,
  such as the location and size of the tattoo (some
  areas of the body will metabolise much faster),
  the colour/s of the tattoo, whether the tattoo
  was administered professionally, the quality of
  ink used, the complexion of the client and the
  depth of the ink within the skin. Each of these
  factors may cause a variance in terms of a number
  of treatments needed in order to get rid of your
  tattoo. Due to the complexity of the treatment
  process, it is important to undergo this process
  with an accredited clinic with highly trained
  professionals.

Which Laser is Best For Tattoo Removal?

• Laser technology has significantly developed
  over recent years for aesthetic treatments, and
  this is very much the same case for the laser
  tattoo removal. There are a number of medical
  lasers that may be used for tattoo removal
  treatments, each with their own specific
  functions. The most highly effective of these
  lasers is the Medlite C6, mainly due to its high
  power yet gentle pulses. The MedLite C6 laser
  produces consistent and reliable results with
  fewer complications when compared to other lasers.

5

• The main feature of the MedLite C6 is the
  short pulses of power, lasting twenty nanoseconds
  each. This minuscule duration allows for a
  photomechanical effect to take place on the skin,
  shattering those ink particles and prompting an
  effective and safe tattoo removal process. The
  laser light also allows for selective
  photothermolysis to take place, which is the
  process of attracting specific wavelengths in
  order to successfully remove multicolour tattoos.
  As the MedLite C6 technology comprises of four
  different wavelengths, each tattoo removal
  treatment can be completely customised to suit
  each individual and their specific needs.

6
Why is Medlite C6 the best for tattoos?

• The MedLite C6 is considered to be one of
  the best lasers on the market due to its high
  effectiveness rate. The more effectively ink
  particles are reduced, the faster the tattoo can
  be removed entirely. For this reason, it will
  typically provide faster and more consistent
  results, often involving fewer treatments than
  other lasers, in turn assisting clients to save
  time and money. In most cases, the MedLite C6
  laser is capable of fading 95 of any given
  tattoo with minimal to no scarring occurring
  post-treatment. These features, alongside many
  others, make the MedLite C6 the most versatile
  and well-rounded laser for multicolour tattoo
  removal treatments.

How To Get Rid of Your Tattoos

• In order to successfully remove your tattoo,
  it is recommended to undertake 5-10 sessions to
  achieve an 80 reduction of the ink you are
  aiming to remove. Of course, by removing your
  tattoos this is dependent on both the individual
  and the range of factors mentioned earlier. Each
  of those reasons will be individually assessed
  during your initial consultation to create the
  most effective treatment plan for you and your
  needs. This consultation will also discuss the
  recommended number of treatments for your tattoo,
  as well as an estimated cost for the duration of
  the process.

8

• It is important to note that there are over
  one hundred different substances used in tattoo
  inks on a global nation, and it may difficult to
  achieve a high success rate depending on the
  materials used. Cover up tattoos generally take
  longer to remove due to the added layers of ink
  within the skin. If your tattoo is
  multi-coloured, you may require more treatments.
  Standard blue or black tattoos generally require
  fewer treatments when compared to brighter
  colours such as blues and greens which are
  generally more resistant to treatment. Amateur
  tattoos require fewer treatment sessions than
  professional tattoos as the ink is unlikely to be
  of a high-quality standard.

Pre Removal Treatment

• Before the laser tattoo removal treatment
  takes place, a numbing cream may be applied
  depending on the size of the tattoo and the pain
  tolerance of the individual, through a cooling
  Cryotherapy machine will be utilized to minimise
  any discomfort by keeping the area cool. The
  MedLite C6 laser administers the pulses of energy
  very quickly, ensuring your treatment is over and
  done with as quickly as possible. Should you wish
  to utilize a numbing method, the cream should
  remain on your skin for at least 10-15 minutes
  before your treatment to allow for the best
  result. Depending on the size of the tattoo being
  treated, laser tattoo removal sessions can take
  anywhere between 5 and 45 minutes from start to
  finish.

Side Effects

• Following your treatment, Vaseline or a
  similar occlusive topical ointment will be
  applied to the tattoo by your technician in order
  to protect the area from any external irritants.
  You should continue to apply this treatment each
  day for up to a week following your treatment.
  Although laser tattoo removal is considered to be
  non-invasive, it is common for mild inflammation,
  pinpoint bleeding, skin discolouration, blisters
  or scabbing to occur due to the nature of the
  treatment. There is no reason to be alarmed by
  blisters.

11

• Blisters generally appear 8-10 hours
  following your session and are completely normal
  and part of the healing process. Blisters are a
  positive indication that your immune system is
  beginning to remove the ink within your skin and
  starting the healing process. If you are
  experiencing any other signs of discomfort or
  pain following your laser tattoo removal
  procedure, it is recommended to immediately
  contact the clinic who provided your treatment
  or, where possible, contact your doctor.

12
Post Laser Treatment

• Flaking of the skin may also begin to occur
  within a week or so, with the potential of scabs
  forming over the affected area. It is important
  to keep the affected area as clean as possible
  and avoid bursting any blisters or removing any
  scabbing. You may apply a covered ice pack to the
  area if the heat of the treatment is causing
  discomfort. You may notice the further removal of
  ink as scabbing lifts, and the underlying skin
  may be red in colour. Lightening and darkening of
  the affected area and surrounding skin may occur,
  depending on the size of the tattoo and the
  individuals themselves as some skin may be more
  sensitive than others.

13

• It is important to avoid exposing the
  affected area to the sun until the area is fully
  healed to prevent any further skin damage from
  occurring. Do not apply makeup or other creams,
  serums or balms that may irritate the affected
  area. Scented lotions may also irritate the
  healing skin and it is best to avoid using them.
• You are able to take a shower two hours
  after your laser tattoo removal appointment.
  However, we highly recommend that you do not
  allow any high pressured water to touch the newly
  treated skin. We also recommend that you do not
  swim, soak in a bath or spa until any scabs and
  blisters are fully healed. In some cases, water
  may contain a high level of bacteria that could
  cause infection and scarring.

14
Is it safe?

• As each tattoo is individual and has its own
  distinct features, it is not possible to
  guarantee that scarring will not occur. In most
  cases, when performed by licensed professionals
  who are experienced in the field, laser tattoo
  removal is entirely safe and will not cause any
  damage to the skin. Raised scarring may occur in
  some individuals, though it is unlikely and
  dependent on the skin type of the client being
  treated. Changes in pigmentation may also occur,
  potentially causing some whiteness within the
  area that has been treated.

15

• The infection will highly increase the risk
  of scarring, furthermore highlighting the
  importance of proper aftercare and hygiene
  measures. Your tattoo will begin to fade over
  four to six weeks. The extent of the fading will
  be easier to see after a few weeks and is best
  noted when comparing your tattoo with
  pre-treatment photographs.

16
How many session will I need?

• We recommend waiting 6-8 weeks between each
  laser tattoo removal session. Depending on the
  tattoo, it is sometimes possible to fade or
  remove the tattoo with fewer treatments if you
  are willing to wait 8-12 weeks between
  treatments, ensuring your body has enough
  opportunity to clear the fragments of ink from
  your previous session. It is best to view your
  laser tattoo removal process as an eventual
  project that can be worked on from time to time
  over the next year or so.

Our professional service

• It is important to remember that there are
  safe, effective methods available to remove your
  tattoo/s, including multi-coloured pieces. There
  are a number of factors which may impact the
  treatment process and duration, such as the
  density of the tattoo, the age of the tattoo, the
  colours of the tattoo and the area you would like
  to be treated. We recommend the use of the
  MedLite C6 laser due to its high effectiveness
  rate and gentle pulses.
• Whilst laser tattoo removal is considered to
  be quite non-invasive, mild discomfort is to be
  expected due to the nature of the treatment.

• It is vital to follow correct aftercare
  procedures to allow your skin to heal with the
  best results possible. It is important to wait
