Frustrated by the length of time it takes to remove a tattoo, sometimes up to 2 yrs, I believe I have discovered a new application to help fade the tattoo more rapidly. My trials of  this new approach on new, old, semi-faded, coloured, black tattoos has shown significant improvements in tattoo fade, halving the time and better healing of the lasered skin ....

Laser tattoo removal aftercare is normally straightforward, however it may impact on your regular lifestyle routine for 24-48 hours.  Immediately after your laser tattoo removal session, your skin will feel warm and tender and may have a sunburn tingling sensation. The tattoo may have turned white, which will not last longer than one hour. Some may also experience bruising, swelling and prolonged redness in the area. Other possible outcomes include blisters, bleeding, crusting and scabbing. In these situations, apply antiseptic cream and cover the area with a sterile dressing until the area settles, generally 1-2 days. Dos & Don'ts - Laser tattoo removal aftercare Apply - Cold compress/icepaks, Doff moisturizer/sunscreen cream, Doff post laser gel Avoid - workouts and  heavy lifting, hot shawers and sauna/spas, sun exposure You can get the area wet, but be sure to "dab' the area dry rather than scrub. If the area looks infected - honey coloured crusting, oozing,

The process of Laser tattoo removal relies on the bodies immune system to flush away the tiny fragments of ink that are created by the Lasers light energy and sound energy during a Laser treatment. We advise a minimum 6 weeks between sessions to let this happen. After session 3 or 4, I suggest 8 weeks between sessions and then keep increasing the time, with each session. 2 reasons ... this allows the maximum flush of ink to occur before retreating the area and also allows the skin to heal and settle from the last session. Heat is generated during a laser tattoo removal treatment which traumatizes and damages the skin deep at the dermis layer where the ink is deposited. Deep scarring and textural changes can form. The extended time between sessions allows the skin to regenerate and realign. Happy fading/removal

Watched my first episode of "tattoo nightmares". Here's their blurb..... "A tattoo is like a first impression: It better be right, or you may regret it. "Tattoo Nightmares" is about the bad experiences -- the downright ugly, embarrassing or hilarious inkings. Those people seek help from the best cover-up tattooists and go under the needle again to see if their nightmare can be altered to something dreamy. Re-enactments depict how the y wound up with awful "art." Warnings: Always hire a true professional for body modification. And think before you ink!" Speaking from my experience, most badass ugly tattoos turn into bigger badderass uglier tattoos when these guys decide to cover up. Check  this out. Seriously, Why would you not fade off a bad tattoo, then tattoo over. Everyone wins. If you are not happy with your tattoo or a part of it, consider fading the ink with 2 -3 sessions of Laser. It's safe, affordable and just logical.

Hypopigmentation is the loss of skin color. It is caused by melanocyte or melanin depletion. Often, hypopigmentation can be brought on by laser treatments. Laser tattoo removal works because the tattoo ink pigment absorbs the laser energy, shuttering the ink particles into finer bits that allow the body to then carry it away. People with darker skin types ie. anyone who can eventually muster up a tan, can experience Hypopigmentation. Up until recently, we thought any Pigment loss would return over time. But cases are presenting where the pigment remains scarce. My approach is to tread carefully. Delay treatments till after summer, turn down the energy levels and encourage a little summer time exposure during the downtimes to see if we can re ignite the melanocytes. But wait ! Some claim the hypopigmentation can be treated with other lasers or light sources to re stimulate pigmentation in the area. Hmmmm.......Very hard to do! www.doffandflux.com.au
