LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
The area to be treated is thoroughly cleaned before starting.
The laser targets the tattoo pigments to break them into fine particles, which the body naturally eliminates over weeks.
The sensation is rapid, often compared to slight clacking of elastic on the skin.
At the end of the session, a soothing cream is applied, followed by a protective compress if needed.
This method of tattoo removal is quick, effective and safe: it does not cause scarring or hair loss, and is suitable for both tattoos and semi-permanent makeup.
Our machine is effective on both tattoos and permanent makeup.
The sessions can be carried out even in summer, provided that the area is strictly protected from the sun (clothing or SPF 50 total screen).
⏱ Duration: 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo.
🔁 Number of sessions: at least 5, spaced some 4 weeks before the end.

About the anesthetic
No anesthetic cream is used during the sessions.
Anesthetic creams do not significantly improve pain, and may slow down the laser’s effectiveness by altering the skin’s response.
The treatment is quick and bearable, so we do not recommend applying an anti-asthesia cream before the session.
Instructions after a tattoo removal session
After the treatment, the skin is weakened and must be protected to ensure proper healing.
It is essential to :
- Do not expose the area to sunlight for 15 days
- Apply a repair cream with SFP 50 (type Cicalfate, Cicaplast...) until healing
- Apply SPF 50 sun protection after healing if the area is exposed
- Do not scratch or pierce blisters
- Avoid swimming pools, steam rooms, saunas, intensive sports and chafing for 7 days
- Do not apply makeup or irritating products to the area until healing
- Keep the area clean and dry
White marks after tattoo removal : is this normal ?
After a tattoo removal session, it is possible to observe lighter areas, sometimes called "white marks". In most cases, it is a temporary hypopigmentation: the skin has temporarily less melanin (natural pigment) to regenerate.
Will it go away ?
Yes, most often. Repigmentation is done gradually and can take several weeks to months depending on the skin, area and intensity of treatment. In some cases, it can be up to 12-18 months.
Why is this happening ?
The laser acts on the pigments of the tattoo, but it can also "tire" temporarily the cells that produce skin color. This is a known reaction, especially on tanned skin or when the contrast with the surrounding skin is greater.
Will the tan mask the white area ?
Not necessarily. The skin around it can tan faster, while the light-colored area tans less or more slowly, which can increase the contrast. That is why we recommend avoiding direct exposure and protecting the area.
