At Face Facts Buxton, we use the Lynton Q-Switched laser system to safely and effectively treat tattoos up to 8 inches square. This advanced technology delivers powerful, ultra-short pulses of light that break tattoo ink into microscopic fragments, allowing the body to naturally clear them over time.
The Technology: Lynton Q-Switched Laser
- Q-Switched pulses – High-powered, short bursts of light specifically target tattoo ink.
- Ink absorption – The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, shattering it into tiny fragments.
- Immune response – Your body gradually removes these particles, causing the tattoo to fade.
- Flat-top square beam – Provides even power distribution, improving results and reducing risk of skin texture changes.

The Treatment Process
- Consultation – A specialist assesses your tattoo, skin type, and medical history to confirm suitability and plan treatment.
- Preparation – The area is cleaned, and protective eyewear is provided.
- Laser application – The laser applicator is passed over the 8" square tattoo, releasing rapid pulses of light.
- Sensation – Clients often describe the treatment as feeling like a hot pinprick or elastic band flick. Cooling devices may be used for comfort.
- Immediate results – The treated area may show instant whitening, which fades quickly.
Aftercare and Recovery
- Immediate effects – Redness, swelling, and tenderness are common, similar to mild sunburn.
- Healing – The skin usually calms within a few days to a week. Small blisters may occasionally form and should be kept clean with soothing aloe vera gel.
- Long-term fading – Ink continues to break down and fade for weeks after each session.
Factors Influencing Treatment
- Number of sessions – Several treatments are required, depending on tattoo age, colour, and density.
- Treatment interval – Sessions are generally scheduled every 8-12 weeks.
- Tattoo variables – Professional tattoos, coloured inks, and densely pigmented areas may require more sessions.
