Zap away those unwanted tattoos

MANCHESTER, U.K. - Aug. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- If you have a tattoo, brandishing the name of an old flame, or an ill-advised embarrassing picture that you regret ever having coloured onto your skin, then you are not alone. Every year thousands of us make the choice to ink-up with a tattoo that we often forget will last a life time. But what happens when we change our mind and no longer want our tattoo? We check in with skin specialist Dr Vik at Dermaskin clinic in Manchester who now offers tattoo laser removal and a glimmer of hope for everyone on that drunken trip to Magaluf they don't even remember but have lifelong and embarrassing proof that it happened.

"It is important to remember that tattoos are designed to be permanent, and because of this their removal is not always straight forward and most often require a number of treatments," he explains "dark colours are the easiest to remove and can be virtually completely removed in 5-10 sessions, however white and UV tattoos cannot be treated as they do not absorb any wavelength of light emitted by the laser. There are many reasons why people may want tattoos removed... changes of circumstance, job requirements or simply just changing your mind. A thorough consultation is required to make sure realist expectations are realised."

In previous years tattoo removal has involved skin grafts, dermabrasion and the injection of salts and acids to bleach skin – often resulting in visible scarring, but Dr Vik at Dermaskin Manchester has a superior alternative... laser tattoo removal. Laser Tattoo removal is much more precise and drives better results and far fewer side effects than any alternative treatment for tattoo removal.
