ADVERTORIAL Removing your tattoo is easier than you think
The solution is very straightforward and begins with a visit to Lorraine Coyne at Laserlight Clinic in Bridge of Weir.
Her high-tech equipment will help remove the ink. She explained: “When you have a tattoo the particles of ink are too large for the body to destroy, so instead it encapsulates the particles of ink with a network of collagen fibres as the skin heals, and there the tattoo remains.
A
tattoo that might have seemed like a great idea decades ago can become a source of shame as the years pass and life changes. You are not alone, even Hollywood A-listers change their minds about their inkings. Angelina Jolie famously had her husband Billy Bob Thornton’s name marked on her arm. Now, as she is settled with partner Brad Pitt, his name has gone.
“The laser emits a pulse of light that enters the skin at a speed that is too fast to heat the tissues, instead, it produces a shock wave effect and breaks up the ink particles into smaller pieces. The particles are then removed naturally via the body’s own elimination system.” Removing a tattoo generally takes a few sessions, usually four to six weeks apart – during which the mild discomfort is treated with local anaesthetic. Between treatments clients are left feeling like they have a case of mild sunburn and, at the end, in most cases there are excellent results with no scars. Some colours – particularly red and black –
respond better than others to treatment. However, this is not usually a problem as lighter colours cover up more easily.
Lorraine has a special offer available for Clyde Life
readers at the moment. She is offering three sessions for just £95, instead of the usual £145. See the Laserlight Clinic advert for more details.
