What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a medical procedure using lasers to meticulously break down the ink particles within a tattoo. This facilitates the body's natural elimination of the ink through the lymphatic system.

 

Renowned for its safety, laser tattoo removal is a trusted method to erase unwanted tattoos, suitable for almost any part of the body. 

What machine do we use?

At The Laser Fix in Birmingham, we proudly utilise the cutting-edge Cosmedic Lasers ND-YAG Q-Switched Machine. 

Striking the perfect balance between a Q-Switched ND-YAG and a Picosecond machine, our equipment stands out for its remarkable capabilities!

The device features a handle with an air cooler head, ensuring a cooling effect on the epidermis to minimise discomfort and thermal damage, enhancing your overall experience.
