Non-Laser Tattoo Removal: Everything You Need to Know
Non-laser tattoo removal is an advanced cosmetic treatment available at Abbey Luxe, designed to safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos without the use of lasers. This treatment is ideal for those looking to fade or completely remove tattoos with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What is Non-Laser Tattoo Removal?
Non-laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses a specially formulated solution to draw out the tattoo ink from the skin. Unlike laser treatments that break down the ink particles, this method works by lifting the ink to the surface of the skin, where it forms a scab and eventually falls away, taking the unwanted pigment with it. This technique is suitable for all skin types and can be used to treat a variety of tattoo colours, which can be challenging for laser removal.
Benefits of Non-Laser Tattoo Removal
- Effective on All Colours: This treatment can effectively remove all tattoo colours, including those difficult to treat with lasers, such as red, green and blue inks.
- Minimal Scarring: When performed by a skilled practitioner, non-laser tattoo removal minimises the risk of scarring, making it a safer alternative for many.
- Fewer Sessions Required: Depending on the tattoo’s size and depth, fewer sessions may be needed compared to laser treatments.
- Less Painful: The procedure is generally less painful than laser removal, with many clients describing the sensation as similar to getting the tattoo itself.
Our technique is an effective non-laser tattoo removal method that excels in lifting both inorganic and organic pigments, especially those found in cosmetic tattoos. Unlike laser treatments, our technique targets the pigment by bringing it to the skin’s surface with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Its formulation contains natural and organic ingredients like Glycolic Acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Aloe Vera, and Calendula Extract, which exfoliate, moisturize, and promote healing, ensuring a safer removal process with reduced risks of scarring or skin pigmentation changes.
The Non-Laser Tattoo Removal Process
- Consultation: Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your tattoo and discuss your desired outcome. The practitioner will evaluate the tattoo’s size, age, and colour to determine the number of sessions required.
- Preparation: The skin around the tattoo is cleansed and prepared for the procedure.
- Ink Extraction: A specialised solution is applied to the tattooed area using a micro-needling or micro-shading technique. This solution penetrates the skin and binds to the tattoo ink, lifting it to the surface.
- Healing Process: As the solution dries, a scab forms over the treated area. It is crucial not to pick at the scab as it heals, as this is an essential part of the process where the ink is expelled from the skin.
Aftercare and Results
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best results and minimise the risk of infection or scarring. You will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, including keeping the area dry and avoiding direct sunlight. The treated area typically heals within 4-6 weeks, and additional sessions may be needed depending on the tattoo’s characteristics.
