Treatment & technology

laser detatouage technologie

Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive treatment designed to gradually fade the appearance of unwanted tattoos using light-based technology. The procedure works by breaking down tattoo pigments into smaller particles, which the body naturally clears over time. It can be used on a wide range of tattoos, including professional, amateur, cosmetic, and medical ones.

Each session targets deeper layers of ink, and multiple treatments are typically needed depending on the tattoo’s age, size, location, and colour. Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and respond. While slight fading may be noticed early on, visible improvements tend to develop progressively over the course of treatment.

The procedure is generally well tolerated and does not usually require downtime. Some temporary redness or mild swelling may appear in the treated area. It’s important to avoid sun exposure before and after each session to support healing and optimize results.

Taking photographs

Taking a picture of the treated area before and after the treatment allows you to measure the progress of the treatment.

Preparation for the treatment

Desensitizing the skin with an anesthetic lidocaine-based gel or by using a cold air machine helps to reduce discomfort during treatment.

Cleaning of the skin

Carefully removing all traces of gel, make-up and lipid film is an essential step before a tattoo removal session. It is important to disinfect the skin with alcohol as well in order to create a suitable and sterile canvas before the procedure begins.

Adequate eye protection

Wearing protective glasses may be required to protect the eyes during the tattoo removal procedure. However, it is normal to see a few flashes of light throughout the session. Once well protected, your eyes have nothing to worry about and are safe.

Start of treatment

Applying the applicator to the skin of the target area and discharging the energy onto the surface to be treated signals the beginning of the treatment. Feeling the laser light on your skin can be unpleasant and it is common to feel pain during the session.

Maintenance treatment

The number of sessions required for laser tattoo removal varies according to the amount of pigment, its depth and the colors present. Thus, the treatment may generally require between 3 and 8 sessions, sometimes more. Each session is spaced 6-8 weeks apart. It is important to protect the treated area from sun exposure between each session and after the last treatment for a period of two months.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has received Accutane treatment in the past 6 months.
Patients who have been exposed to the sun without sun protection within 4 weeks before the treatment date will not be able to receive it.
