Unrivaled Laser Tattoo Removal Leeds for All Skin Types
The Lumenis Stellar M22 consistently outperforms other devices on the market when it comes to laser tattoo removal Leeds. Its advanced technology allows for the effective removal of tattoos of any size and colour, including those with notoriously difficult ink shades. The M22 achieves this by employing precise nanosecond pulses across the treatment area, targeting tattoo pigments with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
Recognised as a 'gold standard' medical device, the Stellar M22
is highly regarded for its exceptional laser tattoo-reducing capabilities. Its versatility makes it suitable for most patients, ensuring that patients with various skin tones can benefit from its advanced technology. The M22's cutting-edge features enable it to remove even the most challenging tattoos with precision and ease, solidifying its position as a front runner in the field of tattoo laser device innovation.
What is so good about Lumenis Stellar M22 tattoo removal?
The Lumenis Stellar M22 laser offers several advantages over traditional tattoo removal methods, making it one of the most advanced and effective treatments available today. The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser emits light at a wavelength of 1064 nm, which is ideal for penetrating deep into the layers of the skin without causing damage to the epidermis. This wavelength can effectively target the ink pigment embedded within the dermis layer of the skin.
The M22 uses technology which is specifically designed to target dark tattoo pigments like black and blue ink. The laser delivers high-powered pulses of extremely short duration, causing the tattoo ink to rapidly heat up, which then breaks up the ink particles that your body can then naturally eliminate in a safe and effective way.
What sets the Stellar M22 apart from the rest is its beam profile, which ensures the laser energy is evenly distributed across the treatment area. This "top-hat" beam minimises damage to the surrounding skin while still effectively breaking down the tattoo ink. Another plus point is that the M22 offers adjustable spot sizes, allowing your practitioner to customise the treatment based on the size and location of your tattoo. The device also features a built-in cooling system to maximise your comfort during the process.
More importantly, the Stellar M22 has been shown to remove tattoos faster and in fewer sessions compared to previous laser technologies. Its powerful yet precise energy delivery enables it to target ink particles at various depths within the skin, promoting more complete clearance of even stubborn tattoos. While individual results may vary depending on factors like ink colour and skin physiology, many patients see significant fading of their tattoos within just a few treatments using the M22 system.
The Science Behind Laser Tattoo Removal
The lasers used in tattoo removal deliver short pulses of high-intensity light energy into the skin. They target the tattooed pigment while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The Lumenis M22 Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser operates at multiple wavelengths, making it highly effective at treating a range of ink colours. Black ink, the most common tattoo colour, absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it the easiest to remove. When wanting to remove lighter tattoo colours such as red, yellow, and green, specialised wavelengths are required. The M22 effectively provides this option.
The body's immune system plays a vital role in tattoo removal. Once the laser breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments, the body's lymphatic system naturally flushes them away over time. This is why results become more visible some weeks after treatment rather than immediately.
What You Can Expect During Treatment
Each laser tattoo removal session at Aesthetica Medical is personalised to your skin and your tattoo. Here's what you can expect:
- Pre-Treatment Consultation: One of our tattoo removal specialists will assess your tattoo, discuss your medical history, and determine the best approach for its removal.
- The Treatment Process: The laser will be applied to the tattooed area in short bursts. Some patients are generally fine with the amount of discomfort. we offer
- Post-Treatment Care: The treated area may feel warm and appear red for a few hours. A protective dressing will be applied, and we'll provide aftercare instructions to support healing.
The Tattoo Removal Process At Aesthetica Medical
During a detailed and thorough consultation, we inspect the tattoo and discuss the process of having your tattoo removed with you. When you begin your laser tattoo removal plan at our Leeds clinic, you can expect to see the gradual fading of your tattoo with each session. The adjacent skin is left unharmed. The number of sessions required will depend on various factors, including the tattoo colour and the size and location of the tattoo on your body. Factors such as the age of the tattoo also play a part.
During the tattoo removal
process, the laser light is precisely directed to the tattooed area, where it is absorbed by the ink particles. The rapid absorption of the laser energy causes the ink particles to break down into smaller fragments. This process is often described as the laser light being 'flicked' against the skin, targeting the ink without significant impact on the surrounding tissues.
Our experienced professionals will assess your tattoo during your free consultation and estimate the appropriate number of treatments, which can range from 2-3 for lighter, smaller tattoos to 10 or more for larger, multi-coloured tattoos.
Immediately following your treatment, you may notice small white circles on the treated area, which can develop into mild redness and swelling. This is a normal reaction and should subside within 24 hours. Over the next day, a thick crust will form over the tattoo site as part of the skin's natural healing process. This crust will typically fall off within two weeks, during which time you will observe the tattoo gradually lightening in colour. The tattoo will fade.
Comprehensive aftercare instructions, such as keeping the area clean and using high SPF to protect it, will be provided.
Approximately 6-10 weeks after your first treatment, your body's immune system will have had time to break down and remove the shattered ink particles, leaving you ready for your next removal session. We only use the latest technology at our clinic to ensure the process is as safe, effective, and comfortable as possible for you, the patient.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on:
✔ Tattoo Size & Location
– Larger tattoos take longer to remove, while areas with strong blood circulation (e.g. arms and legs) tend to fade faster.
✔ Ink Density & Colour
– Darker, denser tattoos typically require more sessions, while faded or amateur tattoos may clear up sooner.
✔ Your Skin Type
– Those with lighter skin tones usually respond faster to treatment, but the M22's advanced technology makes tattoo removal safe for all skin types.
✔ Age of the Tattoo
– Older tattoos often require fewer sessions since the ink has already begun to fade.
To achieve optimal results, most patients will need 5-10 sessions spaced 6-10 weeks apart.
