WHO IS LASER TATTOO REMOVAL FOR ?
If you regret getting a tattoo, whether it was from years ago or a few months, Patrice's Art of Beauty Aesthetics & Laser Clinic in Tuam Galway are here to help you. The good news is it no longer needs to be permanent. Each laser tattoo removal treatment will continue to target the tattoo ink pigment, each time shattering into smaller microscopic pieces eventually dissipating and allowing no visible particles. Just like the sun is attracted to a black t-shirt yet its reflected by white one, the surrounding skin with no tattoo pigment will simply reflect the laser and remain unaffected. During laser treatment the tattoo will appear to have a white surface layer which is the first initial sign that the process is working. This is caused by the breaking down of tattoo pigment and the reaction to the laser, this colouring will subside within a couple of hours. Immediately after laser removal treatment the surrounding skin is likely to show a red discoloration and mild swelling. The feeling can be compared to mild sunburn where swelling and redness may last for one week. Operating the latest laser Q10 technology, this will enable us to achieve faster and better results with minimal discomfort. However, our are very affordable and tailored to suit your needs.

Post Treatment
We will apply an antibiotic cream to the area and the skin will be covered with a loose dressing. It is then up to you to manage the laser treated area and encourage the healing process through proper care.
The following steps should be carefully executed:
- Apply an antiseptic/antibacterial ointment to the treatment area and continue to do so 3 times a day
- Keep the area covered with a new clean dressing for at least 2 – 3 days after to avoid infection. After this time, remove the dressing and allow the area to ‘breathe’ and assist in healing and scabbing. This is a normal part of the body’s recovery process.
- Avoid direct sun exposure during the entire healing process and ensure spf 50+ sun cream is applied and/or clothing is covering the area (this includes tanning beds). Continue using sunscreen up until your next treatment.
- Showering is acceptable after 24 hours, however it is advised that you avoid prolonged exposure to water and avoid excessive heat in the skin for 48 – 72hours post treatment. This includes direct water pressure from a shower, exercise, swimming pools, using a bath etc. Excess moisture will hinder the wound/scab from healing.
- Avoid injury to the area
- Avoid scratching, picking or touching the direct or surrounding area. Pain of itching can be eased by applying a vitamin E cream
- Cold packs or a cool cloth may be applied if further discomfort persists. Be careful not to ice the area for too long as this may cause an ‘ice burn’.
- Ensure a minimum of 6 weeks before your next tattoo removal treatment
