Tattoo Removal in Melbourne

While tattoos provide a great way for people to express themselves and decorate their bodies, some people can end up regretting a tattoo months or years down the track. If you’re looking to remove a tattoo SKIIN can provide assistance.

Tattoo removal tools have been around since tattooing started. While tattoos were once considered permanent, we now have the opportunity to remove unwanted tattoos using Q-switch lasers.

Multiple sessions are generally required to completely remove the ink from the desired area, and a test patch and consultation is recommended before commencing with Laser tattoo removal.

How does Tattoo Removal work?

The treatment while non- invasive can cause mild discomfort, similar to what you would experience whilst getting a tattoo performed. A consultation and test patch are required at your first appointment to ensure correct removal of said tattoo.

How many treatments are required?

Several treatments are required for lasting results and vary from tattoo to tattoo. This is why a consultation and test patch for Tattoo removal are so important!

Is there any downtime?

With tattoo removal you may experience redness and possible swelling in the treated area, though this often only lasts 24 hours.

Aftercare:

• Avoid excessive exercise
• Cold compress treated area and elevate to avoid inflammation
• Avoid direct sun exposure for 1-2 weeks post treatment
• You may experience blistering, scabbing, light bleeding post treatments which are all completely normal responses. Your clinician will suggest post care product.
• Shaving in the area should be avoided.
