Laser Treatment

Birthmarks can be a troubling and unsightly condition. Often present since birth, although they can present later in life, birthmarks can appear on any part of the body, and can range in intensity from barely visible to incredibly striking. Birthmarks are generally brown or red in colour, but can also originate from other skin appendages such as hair or sebaceous glands.

Birthmarks are best treated with laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Both work in a similar way, as the light is focused selectively on the unwanted blood vessels creating the birthmark. The laser or IPL light passes through the skin without altering it, and selectively removes the blood vessel beneath it. The stain fades over a number of treatment sessions.

These lasers can remove excessive pigment without changing the texture or colour of the surrounding skin.

As a former nurse, I understand that radiotherapy spots can cause distress as it is a permanent reminder of a previous stage in your life. If you’re looking to remove your radiotherapy spots, I can help.

Whether you are choosing to remove your spots to remove any reminders of the past or because you want to move on, whatever the reason, then I'm here for you.

This treatment is available FREE OF CHARGE to anyone who has been through Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy. I will require a doctors note to confirm you can be treated.

Like all body ink, eyebrow tattoos can be removed with laser technology.

A laser emits short pulses of light energy into your tattoo. The ink particles in your skin absorb the wavelengths of the laser and shatter the ink particles.

With each treatment, the ink particles break down further and further until they are gone.

We can remove all colours of tattoos and our laser technology is suitable for all skin tyres. Customers will see a reduction after the first treatment however to completely remove a tattoo depending on the ink colour and how deep it is in the skin, it could be between 3-5 treatments with intervals of 6 weeks between treatments. In some clients this more sessions may be necessary for complete removal. You will begin to see results immediately after your first treatment.

Although there is a risk of scarring with any laser, in most cases, scarring is not a significant risk for tattoo removal with us because of the technology we use. The first generations of Laser tattoo removal were prone to scarring because they were too aggressive but now technology has progressed rapidly and in most cases, your tattoo can be removed with no lasting tissue scars or marks, as if Janine never existed!

So does it actually hurt?  The pain differs from person to person and your individual pain threshold, some people liken it to an elastic band snapping on their skin but most people just feel a mild heat sensation.

All Tattoo removals are subject to consultation and a skin patch test before treatment commences.
