What to expect at your tattoo removal appointment

Before going ahead with Norwich laser tattoo removal, we require a consultation and patch test. This allows you to come along, see the clinic and machine, meet our fabulous team, test your skin’s sensitivity to our laser, and talk through any questions you may have.⁠ 

An individual treatment plan will be created and discussed in full detail, along with the pre and post-care. 

Images will be taken for our records to allow us to track your progress. You can see examples of before and after having laser tattoo removal on this page.

During the patch test, you will lie comfortably on the treatment couch, with a small area of the tattoo will be exposed and cleaned. You and our Laser Tattoo Removal specialist will apply a pair of protective goggles each. The laser specialist will use a specific laser setting and the laser will be placed close to the skin and applied to a small area at the edge of your tattoo. This will feel like very slight pins and needles. 

During the complete treatment, as the laser energy is delivered into the tattoo, most clients compare getting laser tattoo removal to having a warm rubber band being flicked against the skin; similar to the sensation of having the initial tattoo. 

Although we appreciate that this doesn’t sound too enjoyable, we can assure you that we have taken every precaution to make laser tattoo removal as painless as possible. 

To ensure your tattoo removal experience is as comfortable as possible, we use a specialist laser cooling system before, during and after your tattoo removal treatments to provide pain relief and protection for your skin. This counteracts the sensations of heat that you would feel from the laser.

Find out more about how tattoo removal in Norwich works

Laser Tattoo Removal in Norwich involves the Q10 Q-switch laser penetrating deep within the skin, down to the tattoo and breaking the ink up into small particles. Once broken down, the immune system recognises the particles as a waste product and flushes them out of the body’s lymphatic drainage system.

Each visit allows the ink to be broken down further and further, leaving the tattoo minimally visible or completely gone. Cosmetic tattoos such as semi-permanent makeup, require fewer visits. On average, three compared to standard permanent tattoos, which we recommend having between 6-15 sessions for best results.

How effective the treatment results are is up to you too! We have posted some good examples of before after having laser tattoo removal on the this page so you can see how effective it can be.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential in ensuring a great outcome. Keeping active and healthy will improve the speed at which your tattoo is removed. The healthier and stronger the immune system, the easier it will flush out the ink particles.

Common side effects of laser tattoo removal

  • Bruising between 1-3 days post-treatment
  • Tingling sensations (similar to sunburn)
  • Blisters, which may dry into scabs
  • Itching
  • Mild skin discolouration

If you experience these effects, it is essential to remember that these are common side effects of laser tattoo removal. Some of the symptoms, including post-treatment blisters, indicate that your body is healing as it should.

Although, these effects may be uncomfortable they positively signal your skin’s adaptability and ability to respond to the treatment adequately.

In addition, it is also important to note that directly following the procedure, the skin that has been treated will turn a white ‘frost’ colour. Do not be alarmed —this is normal. In most cases, the frosting of the area will last for 1-2 hours.

What else to expect in the first few days after laser tattoo removal

Your treated skin will be the most tender the first few days after receiving your laser tattoo removal procedure at The Norwich Face and Body Clinic. Our laser Tattoo Removal specialist will have placed a bandage over the treated area, and it is essential to leave this in place for 24-48 hours.

Avoid hot showers, baths or soaking your skin for 24 hours after the laser tattoo removal. When you do shower, try to keep the treated skin out of the direct stream of water.

These scabs commonly fall off between 10 and 14 days after your treatment. The area may be red, swollen, and blisters may develop on the treated area between one and three days following the tattoo removal. This is normal. However, do not pick or otherwise irritate these blisters, as they will drain and dry into scabs independently. We recommend to avoid unnecessary contact with the scabs to prevent scratching the skin.

Avoid sun exposure during the entire course of treatment.

As the laser is moving over the skin and the tattoo, small bubbles may appear on the surface of the skin which are often white in color. This gives the skin a ‘frosted’ appearance. This occurrence is carbon dioxide (CO2) being released from the skin due to a chemical reaction caused when the heat of the laser hits the ink pigment particles.

It is an entirely normal part of laser tattoo removal. Some people may see this reaction on the first few treatments, others on the first treatment and some may not see this frosting at all. Each tattoo is different due to the variations in the ink and depth of the tattoo.
