FAQs

Does the Revlite work on all colours?

Yes, but some colours are easier than others and a few colours are particularly stubborn such as green, yellow and aqua. However, since the launch of the RevLite all colours can be treated much more easily – giving you the chance of complete removal rather than a ghostly imprint.

How long does the treatment take?

On average each session will take between 15-60 minutes but it will depend upon the size of your tattoo and perhaps a little bit of consideration to your skin type.  Your laser technician will be able to give you an idea of how much time each session will take and how many you will need to complete the treatment.

Is laser tattoo removal safe?

Yes it is perfectly safe.  The RevLite uses the most advanced Q-Switched technology which has an intelligent, accurate target to break down only the inked skin.

What happens after treatment? Are there any side effects?

The area will turn to a much paler shade or even white.  Cold compresses are advised to reduce any burning or swelling.  With each treatment you will see the area fade that bit further as the pigment continues to break down.  Scabbing is normal which may last for about two weeks but remember your skin is going through a re-healing process so it is acting naturally. It is rare for adverse side effects to occur but allergic reactions can happen.

What is the aftercare?

With laser treatment there is need to care for your skin.  Although the laser system is non-surgical there are a number of things you will be advised to do to avoid complications and to get the best out of your treatment.  Your clinician will have a customised care plan for you, but for now here are some things to consider:

• Avoid restrictive clothing around the area
• Do not use perfume or lotions on the area
• Avoid heat treatments such as saunas for up to 2 months as skin is photo-sensitive
• Avoid direct sunlight on the area
• Do not pick scabs or blisters as this will impede healing
• Use an antiseptic cream to avoid any infection on broken skin

I have sensitive skin, will this be a problem?

No, your skin will be able to have the laser treatment but you will probably need a little bit more TLC during your aftercare treatment. Your clinician will get a good idea of your skin type when you have your assessment at the clinic. At the end of each session and your final treatment, you will get all the advice you need to get the best out the laser treatment.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The RevLite laser is quite special and very intelligent. It produces powerful light rays in short pulses that pass through the skin. The advanced Q-Switched technology safely penetrates the skin and targets each ink colour with its specific wavelengths. It does this without harming the surround skin. Without trauma there is no risk of scarring to healthy un-inked skin.

The energy from these wavelengths breaks the inked pigment down into miniscule particles which are then removed by the body’s lymphatic system – the safest and most natural way possible. The skin then gently heals itself as it understands that a type of trauma has occurred. The healing process is crucial to desired appearance of pre-tattoo’d skin.

While the laser tattoo removal treatment sessions might take only 15-60 minutes each, is not a super fast completion. The more gentle and

How Successful is the Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment?

The different colours used in tattoo inks have different strengths and life spans. Some colours such as green, yellow and aqua usually take the longest to fade and can therefore be the most stubborn to eliminate. But the RevLite laser can treat these colours with a good degree of success. Shades of red and orange repond particularly well to this treatment and dark blue through to black ink can be treated well too. Full removal of your tattoo with little to no blemishes will depend upon your skin type too. When you have your consultation with our highly skilled laser technician you will get a good idea of what results to expect. Most people are more than happy with their results, they are usually surprised at just how good the skin can look after the last few sessions.

We can state that the RevLite is so much more successful than previous methods, it takes less time and sessions to get results that are close to 100% removal.
