At Face Facts Buxton, we use advanced Lynton Q-Switched laser technology to safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos. This treatment is designed for tattoos up to 2 inches square, with the laser breaking down ink particles so your body can naturally process and eliminate them.
Before Treatment
- Consultation – A consultation is required before treatment to assess your tattoo and medical history.
- Skin preparation – The area will be cleansed thoroughly.
- Eye protection – Protective eyewear is worn for safety.
During Treatment
- Laser application – The laser applicator is passed over the tattoo, delivering short, high-powered pulses of light.
- Ink breakdown – The energy is absorbed by the ink, shattering it into tiny fragments.
More information
- Sensation – Often described as similar to a hot pinprick or elastic band snap. A cooling system may be used to improve comfort.
After Treatment
- Immediate effects – The treated area may appear whitened at first, which fades shortly after.
- Aftercare – A soothing lotion or aloe vera gel is applied, and sometimes a light dressing.
- Side effects – Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or grazing are common. Small blisters may also form but will heal naturally.
- Healing – The skin must be allowed to heal fully before the next session.
Factors Affecting Treatment
- Number of sessions – Several treatments are required, usually spaced 8-12 weeks apart, to allow time for the body to remove the shattered ink.
- Tattoo characteristics – Age, colour, ink density, and whether the tattoo is amateur or professional all influence how many sessions are needed.
