​

Anika uses two highly effective lasers within her practice. A combination of new technology PICOSURE laser (lowest risk of scarring by any laser in the industry) and the KTP Q-Switched ND YAG Laser to safely and professionally remove tattoos and for Anti-Ageing laser facials.

​

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL - The most successful results are removal of black, blue, brown, red, purple, green and orange tattoo pigments. The colors used in the tattoo itself, along with the tattoo size and how deeply the pigment sits within the skin, can all affect the result of the laser removal treatment, the length of time that it may take to remove the tattoo and how effective the end result will be.

​

Laser tattoo removal and skin treatments are safe, simple and produces superior results. The advanced technology works by allowing the lasers' light to pass through the skin layers and break apart the ink or melanin particles into much smaller fragments, which allows the body's immune system to clear the particles over a period of time. It usually requires several treatments to achieve successful tattoo removal and instant results are seen with the laser skin rejuvenation treatments,

 

 Up to 8 week intervals are required in between laser tattoo removal treatment sessions and four weekly intervals in between Facial treatments. This time requirement is necessary to allow for skin healing and to achieve the best fade for tattoos and the adequate skin recovery for facials and skin treatments. As everybody's skin is different, so must the treatment recovery periods be also. This will be assessed at the time of your appointment.

​

The tattoo removal procedure itself can cause a stinging sensation, similar to a lacquer band snapping against the skin. This temporary discomfort can be eased by application of a topical ice pack or for those who are very sensitive to stimuli, an anaesthetic cream 90 minutes prior to the treatment may be offered. Extinct Ink selle the numbing cream if preferred.

 

\The laser tattoo removal procedure can take as little as 10 minutes for smaller tattoos, and up to 45-60 minutes for larger sized tattoos.  Redness and slight swelling is a common after effect of laser tattoo removal, likened to a feeling of mild sunburn but this eases within approx 2 hours, however some overnight swelling is not uncommon.  Some tattoos are situated deeply into the dermis and some pinpoint bleeding may occur,. This inflammatory response is normal and will heal into a scab within 1 week.

​

​

LASER FACIALS have no down time at all, a slight sunburn effect for 2-5 hours post treatment and your'e good to go. A Carbon Laser facial is a superb indulgence on the day of, or prior to a big event/special occasion as the results are instant.

​

Anika uses organic and quality grade skin care products pre and post facial treatments to achieve the best possible results. 

​

All Laser Tattoo Removal clients are provided with an after-care pack to take home, the pack includes post-care instructions, alcohol swabs and a sachet of medical grade ointment to use in the post 72 hour period.

​

All Laser treatments are by Appointment Only,

The tattoo is dressed prior to you leaving the studio and you are given a take home 'After Care Pack" with instructions on how to take care of your lasered tattoo for the following weeks to avoid infection and to ensure a good result. The after care protocol is exceptionally important, Instructions must be followed strictly, as this will dictate the success of the final result. It is highly advised that HIGH factor SPF is used on the treated area following Laser tattoo removal, as this area will be more sensitive and vulnerable to UV rays and exposure to UV rays could decrease the result quality.

 

A consultation is required a few days prior to your treatment to complete the necessary forms and to discuss your expectations and the procedure itself. This consultation is free and should only take 15 minutes of your time.
