Laser tattoo removal and Roaccutane

Roaccutane or  Isotretinoin  is currently the standard care for the treatment of severe, scarring cystic acne. The most common adverse effects are a transient worsening of acne (lasting 2–3 weeks), dry lips ( cheilitis ), dry skin, and a propensity to sunburn easily, due to the skin being more photosensitive. Roaccutane is a absolute contraindication for any laser treatments including Laser tattoo removal. Unfortunately  the Q-switched laser can be ablative on the skin of someone taking roaccutane . Roaccutane increases cell mitosis and may compromise wound healing especially required for tattoo removal.  The patient needs to be off medication for one year prior to commencing treatments.   www.doffandflux.com.au

Hair removal over tattooed areas

WARNING ! Hair removal using IPL or Laser over a tattoo area will burn and blister the underlying skin and severely scar. Tattoo removal requires a Q switched laser which creates a Nanosecond (one billionth of a second) pulse of light energy. This will shatter the ink molecules, then the body can flush the finer ink particles away. Minimal heat is generated. IPL and Laser used for hair removal use s a longer pulse of light energy. This extra long pulse produces more heat, which is needed to destroy the hair follicle. When the a tattoo ink is hit with IPL, it absorbs too much energy, generating too much heat and the surrounding skin is "cooked"...... blisters, scar ! Please remind your beauty therapist of this fact, regardless. Paul www.doffandflux.com.au

How many treatments will it take to remove my tattoo?

Each person is unique as their tattoo, but most professional tattoos take 5 to 8 treatments. Home made tattoos take 1 to 4 treatments. Laser sessions are spaced out 6 weeks apart or longer. The number of treatments depends on the amount of ink used, type of ink, depth of ink placed in skin, location, age, colors, and each person’s individual health considerations. The Fotona QX max Laser  is the most powerful, best made laser system in the world, decreasing your treatment sesions to half most other laser out there. www.doffandflux.com.au

Client Testimonial .... Chris ...... Thank you

Ok...im not being paid or receiving any free treatment for this im just very happy and want to share  I have been getting laser treatment on a half sleeve for the last 18 months, dense blacks and colors. After 12 or more sessions at another clinic (who i am still quite happy with) I thought for the final session I would try Paul at Doff and Flux out as he was recommended by the tattooist doing my cover up work. All I can say is I wish I had been seeing Paul earlier. I think he achieved a 300 to 500 percent greater fade than the other clinic and If I had been seeing him from the start I would have required less sessions. This is not some BS that these guys have asked me to write I have posted this of my own accord. If you want good results see these dudes! Stoked Chris H  www.doffandflux.com.au
