People worldwide are coming to welcome the artwork of tattoos, embracing them as powerful parts of their individual identities. With so many different styles and reasons for getting a tattoo, some pieces of artwork don’t stand the test of time, leaving people to instead wipe the slate clean and have their tattoos removed. At Harley Skin and Laser Clinic, we have a team of expert aesthetic practitioners specialising in laser tattoo removal.

Our specialist team utilises only the highest quality laser tattoo removal machines available, with a recent £80,000 investment being made into the latest Quanta Chrome Q-Switched Laser. These lasers are considered the most effective and safe on the market by dermatologists. Providing consistent results, our new Quanta Chrome is able to remove nearly all colours of ink including a ruby laser to target and treat both green and blue pigments, a treatment that was rarely available within the Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire area.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

At Harley Skin & Laser Clinic in Stoke-on-Trent, we utilise the latest in laser tattoo removal technology and our aesthetic practitioners are capable of removing almost all colours of ink from all skin types.

To minimise any discomfort during tattoo removal treatment a specialist cryo skin cooling device is directed onto the skin as part of the tattoo removal treatment. This devise actively cools the skin throughout the treatment, effectively reducing pain. Tattoo removal treatment is not pain-free but tolerable for most with clients often comparing it to having an elastic band snapped on your skin.

The laser is fired onto the tattooed area of the skin, this laser penetrates through the top layer of skin and is absorbed into the tattoo ink, the pigment shattered into smaller particles. Over the course of 4 – 6 weeks the ink particles are carried out of the body by the natural immune system and you would start to notice the fade of the tattoo.

Due to tattoo ink being injected through several layers of skin to obtain permanence, multiple sessions of laser tattoo removal treatment will be required to remove your tattoo completely so all layers of ink can be impacted.

Our Step By Step Guide To Tattoo Removal Treatments

Step 1:
Consultation

As with every treatment at Harley Skin & Laser Clinic, we always aim to prioritise client safety and therefore every possible situation and outcome is taken into consideration through our specialised consultation. Talking with one of our experienced aesthetic practitioners, the size and colour of your tattoo will be taken into account as you discuss the expected outcomes for your laser tattoo removal treatment whether you want to completely remove the tattoo or fade it back for rework.

Step 2:
During Your Treatment

Our laser tattoo removal treatment is carried out with the use of a specialised Cryo skin cooler device, this allows the skin to be actively cooled throughout the treatment, effectively reducing pain.

Allowing the light produced by the laser to pass through the skin, the Quanta Chrome targets the ink and pigments within your skin breaking them down into particle fragments that are easily processed by your immune system.

The Laser is passed over your tattoo only once and depending on the size of your tattoo treatment time is usually around 5 – 20 minutes and can take between 5-15 sessions.

Step 3:
After The Treatment

At Harley Skin & Laser Clinic, we see aftercare as part of the laser tattoo removal process this is why our experts have developed Harley Soothe, a gentle and soothing balm to help calm any irritation you may feel after your treatment.

You may find your skin is red with a raised appearance or maybe even slightly bleeding for a short while after your laser tattoo removal treatment, the healing process for this can be helped by holding a cool pack to your skin and avoiding direct sun exposure.

If any further advice is required after your treatment is complete, our experienced practitioners at Harley Skin and Laser Clinic will offer any assistance they can to ease your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Immediately after treatment, your tattoo will turn white and appear lighter on the skin. This is temporary and is due to the release of carbon dioxide from your skin and is a sign that your skin absorbed the lasers well. Your tattoo will look back to how it was within a few hours. Do not be disheartened the ink has been shattered and your body is now doing the hard work!
You may notice some heat, redness or swelling around the area where the tattoo has been shattered. Bruising, blistering and scabbing of the skin is all normal but not everyone has this reaction.
Tattoo removal is not a pain-free treatment, and is often commonly compared to having an elastic band snapped against your skin. This pain is fortunately made more tolerable through the use of the cooling wand that eases the temperature of the laser on the skin.
Depending on the area the tattoo is located and the amount of hair growth, you may have to shave the area prior to your appointment. If you are unsure whether you will need to shave, you can ask your aesthetic practitioner during your consultation and they will advise.
A tattoo can be faded adequately to be covered after a couple of sessions. Your practitioner will be able to advise how many sessions you are likely to need during your consultation.
