Your Tattoo Removal Journey with EDIT Laser Skin Clinic: From Consultation to Final Results
Tattoo removal can be a transformative journey and Edit Skin Clinic ensures it's as smooth and effective as possible.
At EDIT Laser Skin clinic Dublin, we use the industry leading PicoSure® Pro laser which is the world’s first picosecond aesthetic laser and is unlike any other tattoo removal/ skin laser system as it doesn’t build up heat and burn the skin, causing less tissue damage and discomfort compared with other removal laser systems.
Here's a detailed walkthrough of the process, from your initial consultation to achieving clear skin:
Initial Consultation
The first step is a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. During this session, we'll evaluate your tattoo, skin type, and overall health to determine the best course of action. We use the state-of-the-art PicoSure® Pro laser technology, which is renowned for its effectiveness and minimal discomfort.
Treatment Plan and Sessions
Based on the consultation, a personalized treatment plan is created. The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as tattoo size, color, and age. Typically, most tattoos require between 6 to 10 sessions for complete removal, with each session spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body to metabolise the ink particles.
The Removal Process
During each session, the PicoSure® Pro laser targets the tattoo ink with short bursts of energy, breaking it down into smaller particles that the body can naturally eliminate. The procedure is relatively quick, with sessions lasting between 10 to 30 minutes depending on the tattoo's size and complexity.
Aftercare Advice
Post-treatment care is crucial for optimal results and skin health. Immediately after the session, the treated area may be red, swollen, or feel sunburned. Here are some aftercare tips to follow:
Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Avoid soaking the area in water for the first 48 hours. Gently clean it with mild soap and water.
Apply Ointment: Use a recommended antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and aid healing.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight to prevent hyperpigmentation and ensure the best results.
Follow Up with the Clinic: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
Final Results
With each session, you'll notice the tattoo gradually fading. By the end of your treatment plan, the tattoo should be significantly reduced or completely gone, leaving your skin clear and rejuvenated.
Tattoo removal is a journey that requires patience and commitment, but with Edit Skin Clinic's expertise and advanced technology, you can achieve remarkable results. Schedule your consultation today to start your tattoo removal journey.
