Leading Laser Tattoo Removal Clinic in Victoria, BC

Advanced Picosecond Tattoo Removal for Black and Colour Ink

Welcome to Amendermis Laser Clinic, a Victoria, BC clinic specializing in laser tattoo removal, cosmetic tattoo removal, microblading removal and scalp micropigmentation (SMP) removal. Our focus is on providing personalized tattoo removal treatments using advanced picosecond laser technology and treatment plans based on each tattoo, skin type and removal goal.

Advanced Picosecond Laser Technology

Amendermis uses genuine Cynosure PicoSure technology for laser tattoo removal. Unlike traditional Q-switched lasers that deliver energy in nanosecond pulses, PicoSure delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses designed to target tattoo pigment and break ink particles into smaller fragments. The body gradually processes and clears these particles after treatment.

Laser wavelength is an important part of tattoo removal. PicoSure's 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength is highly absorbed by many tattoo pigments and is particularly useful when treating black, blue and green inks. These colours can respond differently depending on the pigment composition, depth and density of the tattoo.

No single treatment approach is appropriate for every tattoo. Professional laser tattoo removal requires selecting treatment parameters according to the individual tattoo and adjusting them as the ink responds.

Personalized Tattoo Removal Treatments

Every tattoo has characteristics that can influence how quickly it fades. Ink colour, density, depth, tattoo age, location on the body, layering, scar tissue and previous treatments can all affect the removal process. Individual factors such as skin type and healing response are also important when developing a treatment plan.

Before beginning treatment, we assess these factors and discuss your goals. Some clients want complete tattoo removal, while others simply want enough fading to make a future cover-up easier for their tattoo artist.

Treatment is performed progressively over a series of appointments. Adequate time between sessions allows the skin to heal and gives the body time to continue processing fragmented tattoo pigment. As the tattoo changes, treatment settings can be adjusted based on how it responds.

Black, Colour and Difficult Tattoo Ink

Tattoo ink is not a single substance, and different pigments absorb different wavelengths of laser energy. This is one reason multicoloured tattoos often require a more specialized approach than simple black tattoos.

Amendermis has experience treating traditional black tattoos, fine-line tattoos, multicoloured tattoos and challenging blue and green pigments. We also provide specialized removal of cosmetic tattoos, permanent makeup, microblading and scalp micropigmentation.

Our goal is not to promise a predetermined number of sessions. Instead, we assess the tattoo and provide realistic expectations based on the factors that influence laser tattoo removal.

Tattoo Removal for Different Skin Types

Skin type is an important consideration when selecting laser settings. Laser energy needs to target tattoo pigment while limiting unnecessary interaction with the surrounding skin.

Treatment parameters are selected according to the tattoo and the client's skin characteristics, with settings adjusted throughout the removal process when appropriate. This individualized approach is particularly important when treating clients with darker skin tones or tattoos containing multiple pigments.

Your Tattoo Removal Consultation

Your first consultation allows us to examine the tattoo, discuss its history and understand what you want to achieve. We consider the tattoo's size, location, colours, density, age and previous treatment history before recommending an approach.

We'll also explain what happens during treatment, appropriate spacing between appointments, expected healing and aftercare. Tattoo removal is a gradual process, and understanding what to expect before starting can make the entire experience easier.

As treatment progresses, we'll monitor how the tattoo responds and make adjustments when needed rather than applying exactly the same treatment at every appointment.
