Basically, a laser targets the ink and breaks the particles down, which are then absorbed into your body and naturally flushed out (a process sped along by massaging the area yourself at home on the regular – more on this later). I opted for a PicoSure laser to remove my tattoo, a highly-praised breakthrough technology that uses ultrashort (one-tri...
Your clinician should have an NVQ Beauty Level 3 and manufacturer's training, at an absolute minimum. My Pulse Light Clinic (near Oxford Street) has all relevant employee certificates displayed in the waiting area (which is always a good sign) and the team couldn't have been more helpful in answering all my questions. The clinic is also spotless.
Usually I'm pretty good when it comes to pain. I can happily chat away during a bikini wax, so I wasn't too worried about being able to stomach the actual zapping bit. After heading into the clinic for my test patch (which needs to be done 24 to 48 hours in advance, before committing to a full eight sessions), I got chatting to one of the women who...
The actual appointment time will vary depending on how big the tattoo is and how much surface area the laser has to cover, but mine takes just a few minutes a go. The overall process however is lengthier than that – you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks between sessions, meaning unfortunately it's not a one-zap-and-you're-done situation. I've been chipping...
Following each lasering, the tattoo area is then covered in a medical-grade gauze and wrap, which I was told to keep on for as long as possible (48 hours at least, but if it comes off sooner it's not the end of the world). Oh, and no workouts for a couple of days. For the first seven days post-bandage, you're advised to keep the tattoo well covered...
Unfortunately there's never a guarantee that your tattoo will be removed entirely, it depends on a whole host of things from the ink colour to how old it is and more. How on it you are with the aftercare also makes a big difference. Most tattoos will fade off a good amount though, if not entirely, and a clinician will be better able to advise you o...
This is a tricky one to give a stock answer to, as there are a lot of variables involved when it comes to laser tattoo removal, such as which clinic you visit, how many sessions will be required, how big the tattoo is and whether or not it's made up of black or coloured inks (which again can impact how long it'll take to shift). For my tattoo remov...
The team at Pulse Light Clinic say it's still fine to go on holiday and enjoy the sun (hurrah!), so long as you're able to keep your tattoo area covered up with a plaster or clothing
