Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal methods have existed just as long as the process itself.  However, the scarring and pain associated with these procedures (such as salabrasion, invasive insicions and skin grafting) is often more offensive than the tattoo itself.

Tattoos are created by injecting colored pigment into small deep holes made in the skin. Regardless of whether a tattoo artist or an untrained individual injects the pigment, the marks or designs are relatively permanent. When people subsequently want their tattoos removed, most physicians today consider laser surgery one of the best methods.

What is tattoo removal?

Unwanted tattoos can be easily and safely removed gradually with a course of laser treatments. At essence & co, we use the latest and most up to date laser technology to remove tattoo ink. These high-tech lasers use concentrated light beams which pass through the skin and break up the tattoo ink into tiny particles, which the body is then able to dispose of via the immune system..

We have two types of lasers

Nd Yag lasers offer significant advantages over previous methods of tattoo removal, and are presently the treatment of choice for tattoo removal.  lasers now provide a safe and effective method of removing all types of tattoos. Eliminating tattoos, this laser treatment leaves natural looking skin. During treatment, pulses of light from the laser are directed onto the tattoo, breaking up the tattoo pigment. Over the next several weeks the body’s macrophages remove the treated pigmented areas.

PICOSURE  Due to its specialised short-pulse laser technology system, which means the laser does not rely solely on heat to remove ink,

The energy is delivered in picoseconds to the area, sparing the skin from high thermal damage, optimally targeting and “shattering” unwanted pigment into tiny particles, which is disposed of by the body. It works on all skin types, there is less downtime and also removes stubborn designs.
