“The tattoo was the biggest mistake in my life. It was like being cursed.” Mike Regola, Swansea.

The highest standards of hygiene and care

Laser tattoo removal, as with any medical procedure, carries the risk of complications and unwelcome side effects. However, these are minimised if the correct standards of care and hygiene are strictly adhered to at all times.

The risk of scarring is mainly associated with a genetic pre-disposition to forming scar tissue, or poor after-care and associated infection.  To reduce the risks, we carry out an extensive medical evaluation to identify high-risk clients.  We also have a treatment that can stop scar tissue forming and which can even reduce existing scarring. 

After each treatment, the area may blister; this is quite normal and usually recovers in only a few days.  Treatment cannot be repeated until your skin has returned to normal, usually 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. Because the lasers target pigment, the energy is also absorbed by melanin pigment in the skin, which can “bleach” after a number of treatments. While normal skin pigment will usually recover, it can take months, or in dark or freckled skin, years to recover.  Generally speaking, the darker or more freckled the skin, or the more treatments required, the higher risk of long term de-pigmentation. 

Because of the risk of damage to skin pigment, we will not treat tanned skin and will postpone treatment until any sun-tan has faded, this includes fake tan and sun-bed tan. 

In any laser treatment, there is always a small risk of infection, which if not properly managed can lead to scarring.  Laserase clinics are medically led and work from medical settings with strict infection control procedures and the ability to intervene appropriately and quickly.
