About laser tattoo removal in Victoria.
Victoria and Vancouver Island residents are known to like their ink. Along with this love of tattoos, comes the need to remove the occasional forever symbol gone awry. Laser tattoo removal and tattoo fading happen to be one of our clinic specialties. In addition to removing amateur and professional tattoos, we can treat medical tattoos, cosmetic tattoos and permanent marks from accidents such as road rash and pencil tattoos. We offer tattoo removal using the Enlighten™ laser system. a picosecond technology that represents the best that there is to offer for more complete laser tattoo removal and with fewer treatments than the older nanosecond technologies.
Laser tattoo removal helps with:
- Unwanted or old tattoos
- Medical tattoos
- Permanent marks from accidents or road rash
How it works:
Rather than working in nanoseconds (as traditional tattoo removal Q-switch lasers do), the Enlighten™ laser system delivers pulses of laser light in picoseconds (a thousand times shorter than nanoseconds). This ensures that laser tattoo removal treatments are quicker, safer, more comfortable, and more effective to help optimize results. The tattoo pigment absorbs the laser energy and is broken up into smaller and smaller particles which the body then gradually eliminates. Over a series of treatments, the tattoo is faded or cleared away depending on your treatment goals.
