For most patients, the cost of laser tattoo removal is a large factor in making the final decision. After all, the tattoo has already cost time, money and effort, so it is not surprising to find more often than not, financial reasons becoming the main constraint. It is important to research your options and find a clinic suitable to your needs. At Precision Laser Therapy, we offer some competitive packages for those wishing to have their tattoo removed. We recommend discussing your options with one of our friendly staff members who can provide you with the necessary pricing structure. They can then guide you with answers you need to work towards an achievable end goal.

Remember, laser tattoo removal is substantially more expensive than getting a tattoo. Multiple sessions are required and need to be done in a clinical setting by trained professionals. What you should consider is not the cost of the procedure but the overall benefit to your confidence after the tattoo is completely removed.

[av_heading heading=’How long will the removal process take?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Ultimately, it is impossible for anyone to advise you on how many treatments a tattoo will need before they are fully removed. Each tattoo consists of different inks, ranges in age, and is on varied skin types. Saying that, at Precision Laser Therapy we can assess these factors and give an estimate of what is required.

In most cases, a tattoo will require somewhere between 10 and 12 treatments. Sometimes this will be more or less, depending on the nature of the tattoo. It is possible to see significant to complete removal of tattoos in up to 8 treatments. If so, the staff will assess and advise you. On other occasions, significant scarring under a tattoo and the layering of tattoos will require additional treatments. It really depends though, on the unique factors of your tattoo.

[av_heading heading=’Tattoo removal hurts…but it is bearable.’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Typically, some level of pain should be expected with the removal of a tattoo. Most patients will describe the feeling similar to getting a new tattoo or a grease burn from cooking.

At Precision Laser Therapy we aim to minimise any pain, using a cooling device to keep the skin cool before, during and after the session. We recommend applying topical anaesthetics to numb the skin prior to a session. Cooling gels can be applied after treatment to help with any further discomfort left from the process.

[av_heading heading=’As with all medical procedures, side effects do occur.’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
The more common side effects of laser tattoo removal can include swelling around the site, possible blistering and some redness. Tenderness and bruising around the area are likely to occur, but by following aftercare protocols these symptoms can be alleviated. Other common side effects include scabbing, and to a lesser extent, hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. All permanent side effects are completely avoidable if the proper protocols and aftercare are used.

Continuing the correct aftercare prescribed, such as limiting your sun exposure by using a high SPF sunscreen, will also help promote a speedy recovery.

Reinventing oneself is often a sign of phases, life changes and ambition. Unfortunately for some, it sometimes means erasing traces of the past to make way for new beginnings. There are many reasons why people of every walk choose to remove their tattoos. It may be as little as disguising an old tattoo or as large as a career or relationship leap forward. Here’s a short list of why people consider laser tattoo removal today.

Did you know that around 12 percent of the Australian population have tattoos, and that of those 12 percent 40 percent got their first tattoo in their early to mid twenties?

Nowadays most professions accept tattoos as a way of life. However, if you’re working towards a professional career, such as in law, medicine or even within law enforcement, and you have tattoos, you often have only two choices: wear collars and cuffs or have laser tattoo removal.

Laser tattoo removal has increased in popularity for its minimal down time and overall effectiveness. Although tattoos are widely acceptable in today’s community, to some the “Do or Die” tattoo doesn’t echo the professional ethos of the business world in a positive light.

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
One-off tattoos usually have more significance for the person who owns them. More often than not, the significance is a reminder of a partner; a symbol of a happy time in life; or a reminder phrase to “Never Give Up.”

Over a third of Australians with tattoos regret their body art to a certain extent. Usually the reasons relate to being young at the time of the tattoo and not thinking straight, or the initials of an ex-partner. Whatever the reason might be, the constant reminder of unwanted memories can drag down the confidence and even trigger depression.

You go into a tattoo studio with a specific idea in mind, rush the job and come out with an image scarcely representing the picture you’re holding. What happened?

Poor tattoo design is one of the biggest reasons for removal of a tattoo. Rather than be stuck with an image permanently reminding you of your bodged tattoo appointment, consider having it removed instead. If you don’t have the patience for multiple laser treatments, then contemplate having enough sessions to lighten the tattoo for an effective coverup.

Fine, crisp black lines of a tattoo are always impressive, but what about when the body begins to break down ink pigments and the lines begin to blur? If the wrong needle was used during the tattoo process, this often becomes the case very early in the piece – especially with fine lettering. Pigments may also drop out over time, leaving you with outlines rather than a defined image.

If you can’t face life without body art, laser tattoo removal can help lighten the tattoo pigments enough for a coverup; setting you on your way to creating new and improved memories.

The simple fact remains that we all change over time while the tattoo gives us a permanent reminder of who we once were. The permanent memorabilia that is our tattoo may no longer suit our life as we grow and develop, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s okay to embrace change and acknowledge that the tattoo we got at 18 no longer suits us at 45.

Turning back time doesn’t have to belong in the realm of dreams. Unwanted mistakes of the past can remain in the past, particularly the facial tattoos you once loved. Many people believe that a tattoo is for life. Getting rid of a facial tattoo works on the same premise as lasering away tattoos on other parts of the body and can be done effectively and safely.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’How Does Laser Removal Work?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
The technologies and procedures used for laser tattoo removal on the face are the same ones used for tattoo removal on other parts of the body. Being that it’s the face, extra precautions are taken to ensure the patient is comfortable throughout the process.

Surrounding skin tissue remains untouched as the laser’s energy selectively targets the ink pigments in the face. The ink then breaks down into micro fragments, allowing the body’s immune system to naturally dispose of them.

At Precision Laser Therapy the industry gold standard Medlite C6 and the Q-switched laser are used. The process is non-invasive, effective and safe, and allows the patient to resume daily activities after each session.

[av_heading heading=’Treatments Required ‘ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Various factors influence the number of treatments required in removing facial tattoos. The age of the tattoo, for example, if older, is easier to treat. Tattoo depth, skin type, the variation of inks and pigments used, and if there is scarring or layering of tattoos also influences required sessions.

Each session lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the above factors. Multiple sessions will be required before the tattoo is adequately removed, no matter the size. Sessions are spaced out over 4 to 6 weeks to ensure adequate healing has occurred, and to also assess the skin’s reaction to treatment.

It is vital that the delicate skin on your face is properly assessed before treatment. During your free consultation with the Precision Laser Therapy team, a test patch of your skin will be done to determine the best course of treatment required for your specific skin type.

[av_heading heading=’Expectations ‘ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
As with any laser therapy treatment, side effects do occur. The key to any process involving the face is patience. As the tattoo fades with multiple treatments, a lightening of the skin can typically happen. The delicate skin around the face should return to normal over several months, but it does take time.

With all laser tattoo removal processes, blistering, swelling and redness can occur and should be expected as a worst case scenario. Discuss any concerns with our friendly team at Precision Laser Therapy. We can advise you on the prerequisite after care required to promote fast healing.

Remember: everyone reacts differently to tattoo removal. However, down time is minimal with the aid of pain relief and cooling systems.

There are pros and cons to treating the face. The obvious being swelling to the site, post treatment, and a heightened sense of appearance. Any swelling, redness or lightening of the skin should be viewed as a temporary snag to a clearer complexion.

Pre-operative and post-operative instructions must be followed to promote proper healing. These include avoiding sun exposure. By using a high SPF sunscreen your recovery process can be accelerated.

Avoiding hot showers immediately after treatment, applying cold packs and gels as needed, and maintaining a common sense lifestyle will also encourage healing.

Very rarely does one take into consideration the meaning of their tattoo decades in advance. What seems like a good idea at the time can quickly turn into painful regret, particularly when a tattoo begins to age.

With new technology continually advancing in laser tattoo removal techniques, those regrets can now become a distant memory and your self-esteem can finally be restored.

Although the treatment is made as comfortable as possible with the aid of topical anaesthetics and Zimmer cooling system, a little bit of pain is to be expected.

The team at Precision Laser Therapy can discuss any concerns with you, taking you through expectations, pre-operative care and post-operative measures.

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
The number of treatments required varies on many factors, ranging from the types of inks used, age, depth, and location of the tattoo, and if there is any scarring or layering of tattoos involved. The older the tattoo the easier it is to remove, however. The type of skin also determines how many treatments are required.

Each person will respond to the treatment differently. Expect each session to last between 10 and 30 minutes with each sitting, and multiple sessions before the tattoo is adequately removed. Sessions are usually held 4 to 6 weeks apart to promote adequate healing.

Our friendly team will conduct a test patch during your free consultation to determine the best course of treatment required.

As mentioned above, a number of sessions will be required in order to fully remove a tattoo. Throughout the process a lightening of the skin can occur as the tattoo fades. This is typical. The skin should return to normal over a course of months.

After treatment, possible blistering, swelling and redness can occur. Discuss your concerns with the professionals at Precision Laser Therapy so they can advise you on cooling gels and further pain relief, as well as adequate after care.

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
It is vital that any pre-operative instructions given are also followed. These may include avoiding tanning salons, tanning creams and sun exposure.

Post-operative care is equally important. By using a high SPF sunscreen to maintain adequate sun protection, healing will be promoted. Avoiding hot showers immediately after any sessions will also speed up your recovery process.

Other post-operative instructions include refraining from exercise regimes for 2 to 3 days following any treatment, remaining hydrated, and applying cold packs as needed. Any immediate discomfort can by addressed with cooling gels, and any itching with Pawpaw and Bepanthen cream.

Fretting about your old or unwanted tattoos? Feel like there are way too many questions and avenues to actively pursue in order to get rid of them? Between the misconceptions still lingering that a tattoo is forever, and the procedure being more painful than the actual tattoo process itself, most people who want their old body art removed often give up in their pursuit.

Time constraints and an overload of information are often the cause; however, these five facts will prove that old concerns needn’t be applied any longer. The friendly team at Precision Laser Therapy can offer you quick sessions with minimal pain by using their state of the art technology. Tattoos can be effectively removed to leave a clean and healthier skin.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’Are All Ink Pigments Removable?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
All tattoo pigments are treatable; however, some inks are more difficult to remove than others and will require more sessions. Darker colours, such as blacks, greys, dark blues, dark greens and reds are easier to treat, while lighter colours such as yellows, pinks, purples and pastels have a lower light absorption and will take longer to break down. Over time, the body will further break down these pigments and dispose of them naturally.

Fresh ink pigments found in a new tattoo will take longer to break down in the body. Older tattoos are easier to remove due to pigments already broken down.

[av_heading heading=’Can Cosmetic Tattoos be Removed?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Contrary to belief, permanent makeup can be removed with laser treatment, but test patches are required. Given the amount of sessions needed to remove lighter, subtle pigments, such as those found in lip lines and eyebrows, the patient needs to prepare themselves for ongoing sessions over several months.

As with any tattoo removal, there is a healing process that can involve some swelling, redness, blistering and short term skin pigment lightening. Darker skin may also experience some hyper/hypopigmentation.

The light beam is specifically targeted toward ink pigments of a tattoo at all times, avoiding unnecessary damage to the skin where possible. An experienced Precision Laser Therapy professional will discuss your options before utilising the latest technology available.

[av_heading heading=’Can Any Skin Type Undergo Tattoo Removal?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Ultimately, the goal to removing a tattoo is preservation of the skin while erasing the tattoo. Lighter skin tones are best suited to tattoo removal, particularly those with dark pigments, because the laser is absorbed by the ink rather than the skin’s melanin.

Darker skin requires a lower level of laser beam. This equates to a longer tattoo removal process and is not without risk. The risks include the possibility of some scarring and pigmentation issues occurring post removal.

[av_heading heading=’Can a New Tattoo be Removed?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
A tattoo does not need to be old to remove it. A new tattoo, providing it is healed can also be removed. This generally takes 6-8 months. Additional sessions may be required due to the stubbornness of fresh ink, but it can be achieved through laser therapy.

Most tattoos require somewhere between 10 and 15 treatments, depending on the size, location and ink pigments used. Other variables worth considering are skin types, the amount of ink used, existing scarring from the tattoo and if the tattoo is a coverup of another. The layering of tattoos will require additional treatments. Each laser session is normally spaced over 6 to 8 weeks to ensure proper healing.

If there’s something bothering you about your skin, but pinpointing the exact cause is difficult, it might be due to a change in your skin’s pigment. Pigmentation, or discolouration of the skin, increases how old we appear, and is often overlooked for the more obvious fine lines and wrinkles we tend to obsess over.

Laser therapy can help reduce your age spots, freckles, and patches of pigmented skin, leaving you with a brighter, younger and more even complexion without the hassles and pain resulting from chemical peels and other invasive procedures.

Although the most common causes of aging are the fine lines and wrinkles we see appear on our skin, it is often the varied pigmentation that enhances these lines.

The uneven pigmentation and pitting that acne and its scarring can leave, also gives a lasting impression. Acne scarring, and scars left over from a trauma can add several years to your real age, and with uneven surfaces and skin discolouration, can knock self-confidence to an all-time low.

Pigmentation is one of the more common skin aliments for people worldwide. Usually it is associated with too little or too much production of melanin; hormonal imbalances; and sun exposure without protection.

Sun damage often speeds up and worsens the appearance of fine lines, as well as enhancing the skin’s pigmentation in all the wrong areas. With the obvious aging process aside, sun damage is often the culprit in exacerbating pigmentation issues and other existing skin conditions.

Armed with this knowledge, although we live in Australia, prevention is the best method of treatment.

Laser treatment works by breaking down the pigmentation. The laser’s wavelengths are specifically aimed at the deeper levels of skin to heat and breakdown the discolouration. This non-invasive treatment can be used to combat pigmentation issues caused by acne, trauma and sun damage, freckles, and those with melasma and vitiligo.

Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that can even out your skin tone, leaving you with a fresher, clearer complexion. Most sessions last between fifteen and thirty minutes, depending on the skin condition being treated.

Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment option for achieving a toned, clear and vibrant skin.

Before and after care differs for each person; however, with laser treatment the downtime is minimal. Sessions often involve a series of laser therapies spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, to promote adequate healing. Expect some redness and minor swelling to the treated areas for the first 48 hours following treatment, and avoid the sun by using adequate skin protection.

The number of treatments required will be determined by the intensity of pigmentation you desire as well as the condition being treated. Advice on what to expect and what will be required will be offered by the Precision Laser Therapy staff prior to treatment.

Body art is increasing in popularity. It is no surprise that a large percentage of the world’s population is adorned with ink. Tattoos are now common with all age groups, professions and many cultures. Tattooing often represents an important meaning for the owner of the tattoo, whether religious, spiritual, or artistic. Unfortunately, it is often the more youthful body art we later regret. What seemed like a good idea at the time can create issues later in life, including distress and limited employment opportunity.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’Laser Tattoo Removal ‘ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Laser tattoo removal is a commitment in itself. Several treatments will be required to remove an unwanted tattoo. Depending on the ink pigments used, the number of laser sessions required will be determined.

A high intensity light beam is specifically targeted toward ink pigments of a tattoo, avoiding unnecessary damage to the skin. An experienced Precision Laser Therapy professional will utilise the latest technology available to break down the tattoo ink pigments. Over time, the body will break down these pigments further and dispose of them naturally.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’What are the Benefits?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Laser tattoo removal is aimed specifically at ink pigments, not the skin. The majority of tattoos will respond well to laser removal, while others can be faded.

Tattoos containing darker colours, such as black, dark blue and red are easier to treat, as opposed to lighter colours. The common misconception is that lighter colours are easier to remove; however, yellows, light greens, purples and pinks have a lower light absorption and will require additional sessions, as these inks take longer to break down.

Some patients opt to fade the tattoo just for an effective coverup. A professional can discuss your options and tailor the amount of treatments required. The benefits are still the same, removing youthful mistakes without damaging your skin.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
The pain that accompanies the removal of tattoos can be minimalised with expert care. During treatment a burning sensation is often reported, not too dissimilar to the process of tattooing. Topical anaesthetics can help to minimise the pain, and at Precision Laser Therapy we aim for an efficient and pain-free experience.

Although redness and swelling can occur, the precision of the laser means no scarring. After treatment and the healing process occurs, patients will experience a visibly cleaner, fresh skin. For tattoos containing stubborn inks, the tattoo will be noticeably faded for effective coverups and/or barely visible.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’What Contributes to Effective treatment?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
After a detailed consultation, an estimated amount of sessions required will be determined. The size and quality of the tattoo, the ink colours used, and the skin’s pigmentation will impact on the amount of treatments needed.

The layering of tattoos (multiple coverups) will most likely require additional laser therapy and hinder the removal process.

If the tattoo is new, the fresh ink pigments will take longer to break down in the body, and the pigments used will determine the difficulty of removal. The older the tattoo then the easier it is to remove.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’Side Effects’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Side effects of laser tattoo removal can include swelling around the site, possible blistering and redness. Just like the aftercare of a tattoo, maintaining correct aftercare of a removal is equally important. Limiting sun exposure by using a high SPF sunscreen and wearing protective clothing will speed up the healing process. Avoiding a hot shower for 48 hours also promotes healing.

Having acne is no picnic. Your self-esteem and confidence suffer a blow, and often times the teenage angst you remember is associated with the self-approval that acne tends to suffocate. As an adult, acne often accompanies hormonal imbalances and stress, and although friends and family are supportive, looking in the mirror each day becomes an event in itself.

The types of acne vary from the minimal blackhead to cystic acne, which often leaves deep scarring. Causes also vary, but so do treatments which can tackle the problem. With so many alternatives to choose from, laser therapy is often overlooked.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading heading=’What is Acne?’ tag=’h3′ style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ padding=’10’ color=’custom-color-heading’ custom_font=’#095e9e’][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Rarely is a person exempt from bouts of acne. When the pores of healthy skin become blocked with debris and oil, often stimulated by androgen hormones creating excess oil production, inflammation occurs. Trapped bacteria beneath the skin creates the ideal territory for acne.

We are all familiar with blackheads and whiteheads, and the painful pustules that signify a skin infection. However, cystic acne is the leading cause of pitted scarring and pigment discolouration in our skin.

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Various factors play a role in acne. Environmental and genetic factors are difficult to avoid, as are physiological changes such as hormonal imbalances. What we do know today is that diet rarely exacerbates acne unless there are underlying health issues – such as allergies. However, eating a high alkaline diet to help reduce inflammation within the body does minimise outbreaks.

With this in mind, acne is now treated as a medical condition with numerous medical interventions available.

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Laser tackles acne in two ways. Laser treatment for acne involves the laser penetrating deep into the skin. The sebaceous glands are targeted to eradicate the bacteria that helps create acne; and the laser also shrinks the oil glands.

Secondly, laser therapy promotes healthier skin that is less likely to suffer severe future breakouts.

[av_textblock size=’17’ font_color=” color=”]
Treating acne with laser therapy can improve the overall skin texture as well as smooth over any deep scarring you already have. The benefits of laser treatment include resuming your daily activities with no concern for downtime. Sessions with Precision Laser Therapy often run no longer than 30 minutes, making it suitable for a lunchtime treatment before heading back to the office.

During the procedure you may experience a warm tingling sensation. On occasion a mild-like sunburn or reddening of the skin may be experienced after the procedure, typically reducing over a 24 hour period.
