Does a Laser Carbon Peel hurt?
This procedure should not hurt; the sensations during this treatment are
typically minimal and be likened to a small, gentle prick.
How do I look after my skin after the treatment?
After treatment, it is normal to experience mild redness, which typically
resolves within a few hours to a few days.
You can alleviate any discomfort by applying aloe vera gel to smooth the skin. During the initial redness phase, it is important to keep the treated area clean and dry. Once the redness subsides, you can resume wearing makeup. However, it is advised to avoid using oily makeup, as it can clog pores.
How many sessions of facial treatment are typically recommended for optimal results?
The number of facial sessions recommended varies based on your desired results. For general skin rejuvenation or a pre-holiday refresh, a single session can provide a healthy boost.
However, if you have specific concerns such as acne, a course of multiple
sessions may be necessary to effectively address and control flare-ups.
The exact number of sessions required will be assessed during your
consultation, taking into account your skin condition and desired outcome.

How much does Laser Tattoo Removal cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal is influenced by several factors, including the size and complexity of the tattoo being significant considerations.
Larger tattoos generally require more time and effort to remove, which can increase the overall cost of the procedure.
Similarly, tattoos with intricate designs or multiple colours may require
additional treatments to achieve complete removal, thus affecting the total cost.
It’s important to consult with the technician who can assess your specific
tattoo and provide an accurate cost estimate based on its size, complexity, and other relevant factors.
Why is Tattoo Removal Aftercare so important?
One of the primary reasons why aftercare is essential is to minimise the risk of infection. Tattoo removal involves breaking up the ink particles, creating small wounds that can be susceptible to infection.
By keeping the area clean and protected, you can reduce the likelihood of
infection, scaring and facilitate proper healing. Proper aftercare also helps to soothe the skin and alleviate any discomfort or pain associated with the removal process. Preventing discolouration or hypopigmentation is another important aspect of aftercare.
Avoiding sun exposure, wearing loose clothing, or covering up the treated
area by dressing can minimise discolouration and further skin irritation.
By adhering to the proper aftercare practices, the removal process will be
smooth and give you the desired outcome.
How effective is Laser Tattoo removal?
The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal is influenced by several factors.
These include the size and colour of the tattoo, the age of the tattoo, its
placement on the body, the specific type of laser employed during the
procedure, and the expertise of the laser technician administering the
treatment. By considering these variables and employing the appropriate
techniques, laser tattoo removal can yield successful outcomes.
What are the potential side effects associated with the treatment?
Following your sessions, it is common to experience some post-treatment
effects, such as redness, itching, and mild swelling in the treatment area.
Additionally, the tattoo itself may develop scabs. It is crucial to refrain from picking at the scabs and allow them to heal naturally.
By following proper aftercare instructions, which we will provide, you can
support the healing process and minimise the risk of complications.
Is laser tattoo removal a painful procedure?
During our laser tattoo removal process, you may experience a sensation of mild discomfort rather than outright pain. It is often described as feeling similar to being flicked with an elastic band.
If you happen to feel uncomfortable during the session, rest assured that we have measures in place to ensure your comfort and allow you to continue with the session. We prioritise your well-being and will work closely with you to address any discomfort and make adjustments as needed.
Is it possible to lighten my tattoo in preparation for a cover-up?
Certainly! It’s not necessary to completely remove the tattoo.
We can discontinue the treatments once you’ve achieved the desired level of lightning and are satisfied with the results. Just make sure your tattoo is fully healed before getting it reworked.
