Tattoo Lasers

At Sun and Skin Medical Centre in Mt. Eliza, Victoria, we offer advanced tattoo laser removal services to help you safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos. Whether you’re looking to fade a tattoo for a cover-up or erase it entirely, our state-of-the-art laser technology provides precise results with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Tattoo laser removal uses focused light energy to break down tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments. These fragments are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system over time. The procedure is highly effective for a wide range of tattoo colors and skin types, offering a safe, non-invasive solution for tattoo removal.

Tattoo lasers work by delivering pulses of energy at specific wavelengths to target tattoo ink:

1. Ink Fragmentation: The laser energy heats and shatters the ink particles without harming surrounding skin.
2. Immune Response Activation: Your body’s lymphatic system clears the broken-down ink particles naturally.
3. Gradual Fading: The tattoo lightens with each session until it is significantly faded or completely removed.

• Non-Invasive: No surgery or incisions are required.
• Minimal Downtime: Most clients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment.
• Safe for All Skin Types: Modern lasers accommodate a range of skin tones.
• Effective on Most Colors: Advanced laser technology can target even stubborn ink colors like green and blue.
• Customizable Results: Choose to fade a tattoo for a cover-up or remove it entirely.
