Effectively, tattoos are just tiny beads of ink that are injected into the ‘dermis’ of your skin and are permanent because they are too large for the white blood cells in your body to remove. If you have a tattoo, it can be faded or completely removed through the use of our specialist ND YAG Q switched laser, which creates something called ‘photo acoustic shockwaves’; these shockwaves release heat from the tattoo and break it into tiny particles, this is known as the ‘mechanical effect’. Once this has been carried out, the particles are carried away and leave the body through the lymphatic system. When you come to us for our tattoo removal services in Eastbourne, our AW3, state of the art laser systems use various wave lengths that enable tattoo removal of all colours, shapes, and sizes with very little side effects.
