Tattoo Removal using Tribeam

Tattoos are created by injecting ink, dyes and pigment into the dermis. A Q-Switch laser is the safest and most effective device for tattoo removal. The Tribeam delivers energy ultra fast with its advanced PTP setting (PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse). This allows better results with less heat energy than traditional lasers. Complete removal or significant fading can be achieved.

How does it work?

Tribeam uses PhotoAcoustic energy to penetrate the skin and safely target the tattoo ink pigment. The tribeam delivers highly precise high powered pulses to shatter the ink into minuscule particles, while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. The minuscule particles are then eliminated through the bodies natural process.

What’s involved?

A anaesthetic gel can be applied before treatment if desired but depending on your tolerance you may not need this. Alternatively we can cool your skin before the treatment to numb the area. Our clients tell us it feels much like the tattooing followed by a feeling of warmth in the treated area. After every tattoo removal session we will apply an ointment and a non-adhesive dressing. It is important to keep the area dry for 24 hours. We recommend you apply Stratmed or Synergie RecoverBalm to the area for 2-3 days following treatment.

How many treatments are needed?

The number of treatments will depend on your skin type, the area of placement, the size & colours , the age of the tattoo and whether it is amateur or professional. The downtime between treatments is 4-6 weeks, this is more frequent than with some lasers as the advanced PTP setting ( PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse ) reduces cellular damage.

Between 4-9 treatments is usually required.
