Laser Blaze Ink tattoo removal laser in Bridgwater

What is the Laser Blaze Ink and how does it work?

The Laser Blaze Ink is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser supplied in the UK by Marshalls Cosmetic Machines. Q-switched means it fires extremely short pulses of 6 to 8 billionths of a second. These pulses shatter tattoo ink into much smaller particles, which the body's immune system then gradually clears away over the following weeks. The 1064nm wavelength is used for darker inks such as black and blue, and the 532nm wavelength for some red and warmer shades. It has interchangeable tips, including a dedicated carbon facial tip, and the spot size can be adjusted from 1mm to 8mm.

What does Bright Smiles Beauty use the Laser Blaze Ink for?

We use it for tattoo removal and tattoo fading, for example to lighten an old design before a cover-up, and for cosmetic tattooing such as semi permanent eyebrows and lip liner, which the supplier lists as intended uses. It is also used for carbon laser facials, where a thin layer of carbon lotion is applied and then treated with the laser to leave the skin looking refreshed. Having two tattoo lasers means more appointment availability for tattoo removal clients. Current prices are shown on our Fresha booking page.

What should I expect, and is it suitable for me?

Your first visit starts with a consultation covering your medical history, medication and skin type, and a patch test on a small area of the tattoo. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart so the skin can heal and the body can clear the ink. The treatment feels like quick snaps against the skin, and the area may be red, raised or tender afterwards. Some pinpoint bleeding, swelling or blistering can occur, and you will be given aftercare advice to follow. We cannot promise complete removal, as some inks, especially bright colours, may only fade. Laser treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, on recently tanned skin or with some medications and skin conditions.
