Regret Your Tattoo? Remove It Today!
There is a lot of interest in tattoo removal at the moment – and while the celebs seem to prefer to jet off to LA for over-priced treatment, there is a recurring theme to their decisions; medically delivered, Q-switched lasers are the only way to go for safe and effective tattoo removal.
The Q-switched laser uses a pulse of light-energy that literally explodes tattoo particles into tiny fragments, which your own immune response then carries away. The treatment is fast but, depending on the tattoo, a course of between 5 and 20 treatments will be required. It will be a big investment, so it is important to find the right provider.
Mapperley Park Clinic have been removing tattoos for nearly 20 years and have delivered 5 million laser shots in 27,000 treatments to 5,000 tattoos. They know what they are doing and you won’t find anywhere better for your treatment – not even in LA.
Until last year, Government regulated the use of lasers but this was cancelled to save costs and unbelievably, neither registration nor training are even required anymore. This has led to a rush of unskilled, untrained providers offering their services from tattoo studios to friends in their own front rooms.
It is also now possible to buy cheap lasers from China so, while Mapperley have over £150,000 of high-end Q-switched lasers (and £1million of lasers in total), you can buy what claims to be the same device on-line for $1000. Clearly, these are not the same thing – if the laser looks like a phone/fax machine, it is a low-energy laser and the likelihood is that the operator has ‘trained’ from a manual.
We would also warn against acid-tattooing techniques as being the most dangerous and least effective methods of all.
The secret to a successful treatment is in having the right equipment and the expertise to use it. Mapperley are experts; not only do they remove tattoos but they train medical professionals from around the world to do so through their unique BTEC laser Qualifications. They are registered with the Care Quality Commission, guaranteeing a good standard of care and quality of service.
