Tattoo Removal
Safe, effective laser tattoo removal - personalized for your skin and ink.
With the rise in tattoo popularity over the past 20 years, the demand for safe and effective tattoo removal has grown just as rapidly. At Beam & Bare, we offer advanced laser tattoo removal treatments designed to safely fade or fully remove unwanted tattoos - whether due to lifestyle changes, career requirements, personal growth, or the desire to make space for new body art.
Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is an effective solution for fading or eliminating tattoos of various sizes, colours, and styles. The process works by delivering concentrated pulses of light that are absorbed by the tattoo pigments. These light pulses break the ink into tiny particles, which the body gradually eliminates through its natural healing processes.
Laser technology has evolved significantly, allowing for better outcomes with fewer side effects. It is now possible to treat both single-colour and multi-colour tattoos with a high degree of success.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients require between 8 and 24 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart. The number varies based on several key factors:
- Tattoo colour: Black responds most quickly; green, blue, or red may require more sessions
- Ink quality: Professional tattoos use denser ink and may require more treatments than amateur work
- Ink depth: Deeper ink requires more sessions
- Tattoo age: Older tattoos tend to fade more quickly due to natural pigment breakdown
- Body location and skin type: Areas with better blood flow aid pigment clearance
Because each tattoo and client is unique, a personalized treatment plan is developed during your consultation.
What to Expect
Visible results can sometimes be seen just weeks after the first session, though noticeable and consistent fading typically becomes apparent after 4 to 6 treatments. Sessions are generally quick, though some discomfort may be experienced - often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Most clients find this manageable, and cooling methods or topical anesthetics can be used to improve comfort.
Aftercare: Healing & Skin Recovery
Proper post-treatment care is crucial to optimize healing and achieve the best results. We recommend:
- Topical ointments such as Polysporin to prevent infection and support healing during the first few days
- Sun protection: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect the treated area if exposed to sunlight
- Avoid picking, rubbing, or scratching the area to prevent scarring or infection
Advanced Scar Management: V-STAT™ Advanced Scar Gel
To further support your skin's recovery and reduce the risk of post-treatment scarring, we recommend V-STAT™ Advanced Scar Gel by Vivier. This topical treatment is especially effective in preventing and minimizing the appearance of hypertrophic scars (raised, thick scars that can form following skin trauma).
V-STAT™ contains 0.8% Polyamine-DAB™, a clinically proven compound that supports the skin's healing and aging processes. It is recommended by physicians and supported by clinical research.
