Benefits of Laser Treatments for Tattoo Removal and Pigmentation Removal
Share
1. Tattoo Removal – Key Benefits
Highly Effective on Most Ink Colors
- Pico lasers can break down a wide range of ink colors, including stubborn (but beautiful) shades like blue, red and green.
- Pico lasers are especially effective for difficult-to-remove tattoos. Yes, there’s that one specific tattoo that you just need to forget, right?
Minimal Risk of Scarring
- Unlike older methods (dermabrasion or excision), Pico laser tattoo removal selectively targets ink particles without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Lower risk of keloid (a type of scar which, depending on its maturity, is composed mainly of either type III or type I collagen) formation in people prone to scarring. If you are unsure, we suggest a consultation with a dermatologist for advice on whether your scar can undergo laser treatment.
Faster Ink Clearance with Pico Technology
- Pico lasers shatter ink into smaller particles than traditional nanosecond lasers, making it easier for the immune system to flush them out.
- Fewer sessions needed compared to older technology laser equipment.
Safe for Different Skin Types
-
With the right laser settings, tattoo removal is safe for all skin tones, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation (A patch of skin that appears darker due to increased melanin) or hypopigmentation (A patch of skin that appears lighter than the surrounding area, yet still retains some pigment).
Customisable for Each Tattoo
- Laser power and wavelength can be adjusted based on ink depth, density, and skin type, ensuring a personalised treatment approach.
2. Pigmentation Removal – Key Benefits
Precision Targeting of Pigment
- Lasers break down excess melanin while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This is ideal for conditions like sunspots, melasma (triggered by sunlight exposure, genetic factors, hormonal shifts, and skin irritation), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Non-Invasive with No Downtime
- Unlike chemical peels or microdermabrasion, laser treatments do not remove the top layer of skin, allowing clients to resume normal activities quickly.
Long-Lasting Results
- Once excess pigmentation is removed, results are often permanent if sun protection and skincare are maintained. Taking good care of your skin by following after-treatment care instructions will support the results.
Safer for Darker Skin
- Traditional lasers and IPL can cause worsening pigmentation on darker skin tones. Pico lasers reduce this risk by using low-heat, targeted energy.
Effective for Stubborn Pigmentation (Melasma, Deep Sun Damage)
- While melasma is tricky to treat, Pico lasers offer a lower-risk solution by using short pulses that minimize heat damage, which can otherwise trigger melanin production.
In Summary
Laser treatments for removing tattoos and addressing pigmentation provide a safe, efficient, and non-invasive method to attain clear and uniform skin. Thanks to advanced technologies such as Pico lasers, the risks are minimised, results are quicker, and treatments can be customised to suit various skin types and issues.
