Question 1

Who will carry out my tattoo removal session?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Is Tattoo Removal painful?

Accepted Answer

To minimise the painfulness of having a tattoo removed we use a numbing cream for 30 minutes prior to your appointment. We will also use a Zimmer cooler on the skin which blows out -30 degrees air to help with any further discomfort. Laser tattoo removal is also a very quick procedure.

Question 3

Side-Effects

Accepted Answer

Your skin will look slightly blistered with a red rash for a few days after your procedure as part of the healing process. If this is uncomfortable you could apply a cold ice pack on the area.

Question 4

Aftercare

Accepted Answer

 The area will feel slightly tender post a treatment, so the last thing you want to do is aggravate or hurt the area.  Avoid excessive heat to the skin. Whilst it is ok to shower 2 hours after a treatment, please avoid high-pressure hot showers, or soaking in a bath or sauna for at least 24-48 hours afterwards. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry during the healing process. A mild soap can be used and make sure to pat dry and do not rub Do not expose the treated 	area to the sun.
