Tattoo Removal (Including Laser) - Effective & Affordable Yes...We All Make Mistakes - The Good News? You Don't Have To Live With Them Forever! Having second thoughts about having created that 'special' tattoo? You’re not alone. Every week we see clients, from every walk of life, who express regret about getting a tattoo. Does getting that tattoo now seem like a bad idea - a spur of the moment decision, or a romantic expression? Do you wish you could just make it all go away? We have helped many clients to do just that, and we can make your wish come true also! In the not too distant past, the only ways to get rid of your unwanted tattoos was through a surgeon or dermatologist. They would either remove the entire offensive area and graft skin from another part of the body, which invariably resulted in unsightly, puckered scarring, or they would use a metal sanding disc to 'dermabrade' (ouch) or sand the patient's skin right down to the basal layers. We take a different approach. To provide you with the most options in tattoo removal, we have traveled internationally in search of effective treatments for you. The advanced tattoo removal systems and unique methods we discovered, will lighten or remove your unwanted tattoos comfortably. Our customized tattoo removal technologies can combine state of the art Q-Switched Nd Yag Lasers, with  a sophisticated cryogen system, and/or a mechanical method similar to tattoo implantation but without the usual discomfort. Our process can either significantly lighten or if the appropriate series of treatments are performed can completely remove your tattoo - in a much more comfortable way than other methods.. How effective our laser tattoo removal treatments are on your skin (using our Q-Switched Nd Yag tattoo removal laser} will depend on a number of variables. These include which type of pigments were used - iron oxide, vegetable dye pigment, india ink or other, how deeply it was implanted, how many colours and what colours were used, and if it was professionally implanted or done by an amateur. For us to provide you with a customized solution for laser tattoo removal in Victoria, we are pleased to offer you a selection of tattoo removal techniques. To do so, we first consult with you to discover the best and most affordable ways to approach any tattoo 'issues' you have, discuss any possible contra indications, pre and post care and then recommend the most suitable avenues to assist you to obtain your goal. Although we know that we are very competitive price wise, tatttoo removal does require a commitment of time and money. It's not unusual for treatments to require several months or longer for the best results, however, we believe that you will join our many happy clients in agreeing that it was 'well worth it'. In Victoria, our Age Less Medi Spas exclusive methods make laser tattoo removal surprisingly comfortable and affordable. Laser Tattoo Removal with a Q-Switched Nd Yag Laser (the Nitty-Gritty) Laser tattoo removal works more quickly on darker pigments, such as black and dark blue, as the laser light is attracted to and absorbed faster by the deeper colours of the ink pigments. Other lighter or brighter coloured pigments normally require more treatments. A controlled blister usually follows which stimulates the fibroblasts to pump up collagen production. A portion of the pigment is released through the surface while some fractures and is absorbed by the body for natural elimination. In our processes, we always do our best to work with your body's natural inclinations as much as possible in order to minimize discomfort and speed healing. How many sessions will you need? On average six to fifteen sessions four to eight weeks apart are needed to achieve the desired results. The actual number of treatments required for optimal improvement depend on the depth, and colour of your tattoo pigment as well as the type of pigment originally used. Most of our clients see a visible reduction in their tattoos after the second session. And the improvement can be quite dramatic. However, be assured that you will be the ultimate judge and the one who says 'we're done'. Cryogenic Tattoo Removal (the Sophisticated Probe) Cryogenic tattoo removal at Age Less Medi Spas in Victoria uses a sophisticated probe that is effective on virtually any colour pigment because it is not light based. It works by creating a controlled blister on the surface of the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen which eventually pushes out the unwanted pigment. This particular method is also very successful in removing badly placed permanent makeup or permanent makeup which has transformed into the wrong colour. Mechanical Tattoo Removal (Not as Bad as it Sounds) Mechanical tattoo removal at Age Less Medi Spas is not as painful as it sounds. First we apply an effective numbing cream to the affected area. Then a specialized digital machine is used to mechanically remove your tattoo. This specialized technique implants an inert, specifically formulated and safe product into the area of the pigment. This product then binds to the pigment, encapsulating it and causes a hardened scab to grow over the treatment area. The unwanted pigment is then drawn out over a period of days. This method, while seemingly more expensive than other processes, usually requires fewer sessions to get the best results, and as such can actually save money - and of course, your time. We hope you have found the above summary of some of our processes helpful when it comes to your tattoo removal.                                  Call us today for your complimentary assessment and consultation at 250-472-0400
