Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) – Tattoo / Freckles Removal
Can Peels Work to Remove Freckles?
Deep chemical peels can remove freckles from the face but are not safe for the body or neck due to risks of scarring, hypopigmentation, and healing issues. We do not recommend peels for freckle removal outside the face.
What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity laser beams to break down tattoo ink particles without damaging the surrounding skin. It's a safe, non-invasive method for removing unwanted tattoos.
What is the Best Way to Remove Freckles?
High-quality IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is often the best option. It not only removes freckles but also treats the sun-damaged background skin for a more even tone. Success depends heavily on the quality of the device and the skill of the practitioner.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser energy targets specific ink colours using different wavelengths. The ink particles absorb the energy, break down, and are gradually cleared by the body’s lymphatic system over multiple sessions.
How Does It Work (Simplified)?
The laser breaks down tattoo ink into tiny fragments, which your body naturally removes over time. Several treatments are needed to fade or remove the tattoo completely.
What Types of Tattoos Can Be Removed?
Most tattoos can be treated. Black, dark blue, and red inks respond well. However, lighter colours like green, yellow, or light blue may take longer or may not be completely removable.
What Makes Laser Tattoo Removal Effective?
Results depend on ink colour, depth, skin type, and laser technology. Advanced lasers can remove darker inks more effectively while minimizing damage to surrounding skin. Lighter colours may require more sessions or special lasers.
