What do think of red ink tattoos ? Sure the art work is Sensational but .... We do occasionally see allergic reactions after laser tattoo removal. One can have a reaction to the “shattered” tattoo ink. The laser treatment shatters the ink  to finer particles, which the body can then flush away. However sometimes this “shattering” can release additives used to colour the ink … red, purple, orange. The body can have an allergic reaction to these additives, creating blisters and weeks of swelling/pain. That is why test spots are always performed. Anyway, red ink tattoos ...... Hmmm The gold fish and the dart are my favourite. Forget the vodafone symbol. And what's with the dreamcatcher?

Had a client call this week claiming her tattoo had gone all brown.....hyperpigmented! I was immediately suspect ... Hmmmmm. Her first treatment had gone with out a hitch. Two weeks after her 2nd treatment, client had holidayd in Bali for 2 weeks. "Did you cover up your the tattoo area or use a sunblock?" "Oh, a had a cover over it but it fell off." Stay out of the sun ......... period. www.doffandflux.com.au

The use of anaesthetic gels in Laser tattoo removal and other non invasive skin treatments, needs to be treated with caution. There is a remote possibility of an adverse reaction or overdose to the Lidocaine / prilocaine in the gel. Any sign of the following _ nervousness, tingling around the mouth (also known as circumoral paraesthesia ), tinnitus , tremor, dizziness, blurred vision, seizures followed by depression, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, respiratory depression and apnoea . Always apply the gel in the clinic, insist the client remain there for the hour and keep a watchful eye on the client. Paul www.doffandflux.com.au

The most common questions.  1. Does it hurt? Yes, of corse it hurts, a lot. Although with a topical numbing cream and ice during the procedure its manageable.  2. Is it expensive?  It Can be, the bigger the tattoo the more it will cost. Do your research and get a few quotes before committing to a clinic  3. Will it leave a scar? No, if you practitioner, is knowledgeable with the laser they are using and you care for it after you will not have scaring, the after care is nearly as important as the procedure its self.  Things to expect and a few more tips - You may swell depending on the size of the area you are treating, for a large surface like a sleeve or leg I would strongly recommend to break it down into two sessions per tattoo. - You will/ may blister especially with coloured ink and they will/ may be huge and painful. This is normal and is your bodies natural reaction to the "trama" essentially it just experienced. Do not pop them, the longer they can heal on their own t

Removing or fading tattoos from inside the wrist or the scalp seem to be quite difficult. Perhaps the skin type has everything to do with that....its not as soft and fatty... not sure why that would effect the effectiveness of the laser treatment. Stay tuned ... I'll look into it. Or if you have any ideas let me know. Paul paul@doffandflux.com.au www.doffandflux.com.au
