Advances in Tattoo Removal Lasers

A tattoo is the modification of the color of the skin, creating a drawing or text made under the epidermis with ink or other pigment, but its meaning goes beyond the simple ink. There are moments in life when we decide to capture on our skin forever a special moment such as a wedding or an anniversary, the name of our partner, a child or a symbol that has a specific meaning that only we know. But life takes many turns and that special moment or person can cease to be special and become something that we simply do not want to evoke on a daily basis. What do we do then with that tattoo that we no longer want or that even bothers us, how do we remove the tattooed name of the one we once thought was the love of our life but that one fine day ended in separation, where can we erase that tattoo that was too big, where can we erase that tattoo that was too big?

Often the decision to get a tattoo is made on impulse and tattoo regrets are becoming more and more frequent. Heartbreak, changing fashions, poor quality tattoos or changes in lifestyle are the main reasons.

The art of tattoo removal

Making tattoos is an art, but knowing how to remove them definitively and without leaving scars or marks is also an art. Until today, the treatments were not entirely satisfactory because they did not remove the tattoos 100% and could leave scars and be less effective in the case of colored tattoos.

To safely erase that memory that we no longer want, it is necessary to go to medical specialists to analyze the tattoo, the skin and can provide the most appropriate and personalized solution in each case. In our clinic we are pioneers in Europe in having one of the newest laser technologies. It is the Revlite SI laser that manages to permanently remove tattoos of all colors, on all skin types and with minimal or no damage to the skin.

What you need to know when getting a tattoo

These are the points we must take into account before getting a tattoo:

– The establishment should be an approved place where all safety measures are guaranteed.

– The area where the tattoo is performed, as it may have consequences in the future. For example, a tattoo in the lumbar area may contraindicate an epidural anesthesia for childbirth or leg surgery.

– The composition of the ink. For example, the color red may contain nickel and there is a high percentage of the population with nickel allergy. It is therefore possible that when the tattoo is done, a significant allergy with keloid scars may occur, and when they are removed, an anaphylactic shock with great risk for the patient.

– The colors that are selected for the tattoo. The most difficult colors to remove are green, light blue, yellow, orange and fluorescent.

– The layer of the skin into which the ink is to be introduced. There are tattoos with ink injected homogeneously in the dermis while others have an irregular distribution of the ink in several layers of the skin.

By following these tips, there will be more security when it comes to permanently remove any type of tattoo. It is essential to go to a specialist who with the appropriate technology is able to erase the tattoo in each case, without leaving scars or marks.

The first laser that removes tattoos of any color.

Ribe Clinic offers the option of removing an unwanted tattoo forever. This is the RevLite SI laser, Q-switched lasers, approved by the FDA. Thanks to the photoacoustic technology used in this laser, the procedures are very effective, with less heat production and more safety. The RevLite laser’s photoacoustic technology differs from other lasers on the market because it emits energy with a flat, high-energy firing profile without peaks or “hot” spots, providing high efficacy and safety with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue and, above all, to the skin. In addition, thanks to the four different wavelengths used by this new laser, it is possible to eliminate practically all colors and also some very difficult ones that other lasers could not erase definitively.

Protocol for tattoo removal at Ribe Clinic

In our clinic we recommend a specific protocol for each type of tattoo. Factors such as the amount and type of ink, the depth of the drawing and the size will determine the number of sessions needed. In general, it is usually between 6 and 10 sessions performed every three months.

The price of each session with the RevLite Laser depends on the number of colors and the size of the tattoo and ranges from 300€ to 500€ depending on the case.
