"How many Laser treatments to I need?"

Every tattoo responds differently due to a number of variables. There are variations in ink colours and their chemical compositions, depth and density of ink placement, skin type and individual immune system factors. Predicting how many treatments any particular tattoo will require, is an educated guess. However, faded or amateur tattoos that are black can come off in as little as 4 treatments. Professional tattoos can take more than a dozen and some are not completely removable. Certain colours, such as yellow, pink and white are difficult to remove. At Doff & Flux, the quality and performance of The Fotona QX Max laser, will minimize your treatment times and sessions, also handling all colour inks. During your consultation, your laser practitioner will make an estimate of the number of tattoo removal sessions needed to remove your tattoo. www.doffandflux.com.au

The pain

The discomfort of laser tattoo removal is often described as a "rubber band snapping the skin" but can vary from patient to patient. At Doff & Flux we do our utmost to minimize any pain or discomfort. We use the Koolio Cold air Cooling System before, during and after the treatment. The Koolio is designed to reduce pain and minimize the risk of thermal injury, producing temporary topical analgesic relief. We also can apply high-strength topical numbing cream 60 minutes prior to treatment, which is highly effective. www.doffandflux.com.au

So yes there is a little discomfort. Most people claim it feels like a "rubber band snapping at their skin". While some a rolling in pain, others seem to be quite comfortable...........pain tolerance varies greatly, between folk. Rest assured at Doff&Flux Laser tattoo removal, we do our best to limit any discomfort. Applying a high strength numbing cream an hour prior to treatment. Using the Koolio cold air (-30 degrees celsius) blower on the area before, during and after the treatment. This creates an analgesic effect, cooling the skin. And lastly, the Laser used. The Fotona QX max, the best, highest performance laser in the world, is so powerful and its light so pure, it can penetrate deeper into the skin, for a more effecient, faster treatment. So the treatme
