MOKOPANE – MOST people have that one tattoo that they got when they were 16 and at that time thought it was hip, but now after a few years they regret their decision. Live Green Spa in 54 Van Riebeeck Street can make that tattoo disappear.
Live Green Spa makes use of the most advanced Q-switched lasers for targeting even the most difficult colours easily removing multi-coloured professional tattoos as well as single colour amateur tattoos safely and with an extremely low risk of scarring.
“Tattoos consist of thousands of particles of tattoo pigment suspended in the skin.While normal human growth and healing processes will remove small foreign particles from the skin, tattoo pigment particles are permanent because they are too big to be removed.
Laser treatment causes tattoo pigment particles to heat up and fragment into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are then removed by normal body processes. Laser tattoo removal is a successful application of the theory of selective photo thermolysis. However, unlike treatments for blood vessels or hair, the mechanism required to shatter tattoo particles uses the photo mechanical effect. In this situation the energy is absorbed by the ink particles in a very short time, typically nanoseconds.
The surface temperature of the ink particles can rise to high degrees but this energy profile rapidly collapses into a shock wave. This shock wave then propagates throughout the local tissue (the dermis) causing brittle structures to fragment. Hence tissues are largely unaffected since they simply vibrate as the shock wave passes. Our Q-Switched laser will emit specific wavelengths of light matching the most popular ink colours found in most tattoos. Passing through the layers of skin, the beam is absorbed by the tattoo ink only, breaking it apart.
The body, through its natural filtering system, removes the residue – you will literally see your tattoo fading away! By matching the colour of the laser to the colour of the unwanted tattoo ink, multi-coloured professional tattoos as well as single colour amateur tattoos can be removed effectively,” Suné van Staden, owner, of the spa, explained the method used to remove tattoos.
