+ - How does Laser Tattoo removal work?
The high-powered Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser known for their outstanding ability to remove a variety of tattoo inks.
Novamed Aesthetics uses this laser for the Gold-Standard of Tattoo Removal.
The treatment works by giving the tattoo ink a short high energy pulse to breakdown the ink into tiny fragments which are then slowly taken away by the body's lymphatic system.
Although removal of black tattoos is the easiest. Coloured tattoo's are also able to be removed in a similar fashion.
+ - HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Typically a 30-45 minute treatments scheduled 4-8 weeks apart.

+ - What does it feel like? Is there any downtime?
You will feel a warming of the skin throughout the treatment. Your clinician will take care to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Factors to consider include the pain threshold of the individual, as well as the size, quality, colour and location of the tattoo. Your clinician may engage in various pain reduction methods to help minimise the discomfort experienced when undergoing treatment. This includes the use of injectable and topical Local Anaesthetics at the discretion of the treating clinician as necessary.
+ - What to expect after? When will i see changes?
Tattooed areas will whiten and become raised immediately after treatment. This is expected and is normal and will settle within about half an hour. Tattoo will return to its normal colour after a few hours.
Pinpoint bleeding may occur, both on and under the skin. This will either be cleansed away or subside in the days following treatment.
The tattooed area may blister. Do not break the blisters, however keep them dressed. Elevation and intermittent icing.
You begin to feel tangible results right after the treatment. As the body begins to take away the fragmented ink, it takes 4 weeks for the tattoo to slowly fade, leading onto the next treatment.
