Effective Laser Tattoo Removal in Barking: Say Goodbye to Unwanted Ink with Advanced ND:YAG Technology
Are you looking for a safe and efficient way to remove unwanted tattoos? At our specialized clinic in Barking, we offer professional laser tattoo removal services using the advanced ND:YAG Q-Switched laser technology. This state-of-the-art treatment is designed to effectively break down tattoo ink, ensuring that your skin remains unharmed while achieving noticeable results over time.
What is ND:YAG Laser Tattoo Removal?
The ND:YAG Q-Switched laser is one of the most advanced technologies used in the world today for laser tattoo removal. The "ND" in ND:YAG stands for neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet, a crystal that the laser passes through, producing high-intensity energy in short pulses (nanoseconds). This allows the laser to safely target and shatter tattoo ink particles without damaging the surrounding skin.

At our clinic, we can remove a wide variety of tattoos, including:
* Professional tattoos: These tattoos are typically placed 2-3mm deep into the dermis and often feature dense ink and multiple colors, making them harder to remove.
* Amateur tattoos: Usually in black and blue ink, amateur tattoos are typically placed at a shallower depth, making them easier to remove.
* Semi-permanent makeup tattoos: These tattoos are often placed on the face and are easier to treat compared to regular body tattoos.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
Procedure Time:
The length of the treatment depends on the size of the tattoo. Smaller tattoos can be treated in as little as 5 minutes, while larger tattoos may take up to an hour or more.
Pain:
While the procedure can be uncomfortable, most clients compare the sensation to an elastic band flicking against the skin. The pain level varies depending on the tattoo's size and your pain tolerance.
Recovery Time:
One of the benefits of laser tattoo removal is that there is no significant downtime. However, the treated area may feel tender, and white gas bubbles may form as a sign that the heat has been effectively released from the shattered ink particles. These bubbles typically disappear within 20 minutes. You may also experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but these side effects should resolve shortly.
For the best results, it is essential to care for the treated area by keeping it clean and dry. Aloe Vera gel or an antiseptic cream can be applied to soothe the skin for the next few days. We also recommend avoiding sun exposure without applying SPF 30 sunscreen.
Side Effects:
Some common, mild side effects include:
* White gas bubbles (indicating the breakdown of ink particles)
* Pinpoint bleeding (temporary)
* Temporary skin redness and swelling
These side effects are completely normal and will disappear within 20 minutes after the treatment.
Number of Sessions:
While clients may notice a reduction after the first session, complete tattoo removal typically requires between 6-12 sessions, depending on the tattoo’s size, color, and depth. Sessions are spaced about 6 weeks apart to allow the body to naturally flush out the shattered ink particles.
