Non Laser removals

The most well-known and popular tattoo removal method is the LASER. However, it does not always get very far, because the laser can not recognize many colors (white, beige, yellow, orange, yellow-green, some reds). In addition, it often reaches its limits when the once easily visible pigments do not have sufficient contrast to the skin after some treatment-sessions. At this stage laser removal will be less effective until unsuccessful.

White or beige colour should not be treated with the laser at all. Under the laser beam, these pigments change color, in dirty green-gray to black tones, which can then no longer be removed. The same applies to all pigments which are mixed on the basis of white or beige colours.

Removing of acrylate-based pigments with laser can be dangerous. These pigments can melt under the laser beam and lead to internal skin burns (and scarring).

What results can be expected?

Expectations

Clients’ expectations of tattoo removal are often very high. They think tattoos can be removed in every size and location so that the skin looks the same as before the tattooing. This expectation cannot be guaranteed by any tattoo removal method. A scar-free tattoo removal cannot be guaranteed. It depends far more on the individual’s skin ability to regenerate itself.
