Best Tattoo Removal Treatments near me in Eden Glen, Edenvale

Tattoo removal is often described as feeling similar to a rubber band snap against the skin. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to manage discomfort. Cold air devices are also used during treatment to reduce the sensation.

Tattoos are created by inserting and trapping ink particles into the deep layers of the skin using a needle. When special laser light is directed to the tattoo area, it safely breaks up the original ink particles within a few minutes. These are ten safely absorbed into the bloodstream and removed from the body. Tattoo removal is a gradual process: it’ll probably take several sessions to completely remove a tattoo.

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for significant fading or complete removal, spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal between treatments. Variables include ink colour, tattoo age, depth, size, and skin type. Amateur tattoos typically remove faster than professional ones.

Coloured inks (especially green, blue, and yellow) require specialised laser wavelengths. Browse and book colour tattoo removal specialists near you on Fresha.

Tattoo removal in Eden Glen costs between ZAR 400 and ZAR 950.

Not always. Some colours don’t break up as easily as others, so it’s fairly normal to see some ink remain in your skin.

Tattoo removal uses laser energy to break down tattoo ink particles in the skin, allowing the body's immune system to gradually clear them. Q-switched and picosecond lasers are the most effective technologies. Multiple sessions are required as ink is cleared progressively over several months.
