The Truth About Tattoo Removal | Re-Enhance Cosmetics

There are a lot of stories and myths about tattoo removals. Some being that the pain of removal can be unbearable and others being that the tattoo will never be completely removed. Re-Enhance are here to prove all of these rumours wrong.

Admittedly, the end result all depends on your tattoo. Many factors can effect the end result, such as how traumatic and deep the tattoo is and what pigment is used in the tattoos, but the vast majority of tattoos we treat at Re-Enhance do in fact completely disappear, with minimal scarring. Even in the few cases in which the tattoo can not be completely removed, the tattoo fades to a point where it is almost completely unnoticeable.

The treatment is also not the source of unbearable pain, anyone who tells you otherwise has probably not had a tattoo removal. Although, some body parts are more sensitive than others, just like having a tattoo. Places such as those where the tissue is very fine or close to the bone are usually the most painful areas to treat. However the pain only feels similar to that of a rubber band being pinged on the skin. We do not usually administer any anaesthetic for this treatment, as it is usually close to painless, but for particularly sensitive patients, we are willing to administer a topical anaesthetic.

Another rumour about tattoo removal is that you will end up with a scar in the place of the tattoo. This is very rare, there will be a small scab over the treated area for a few days, but as long as the after care is done properly, you should not experience any scarring.
