How does Tatt-2-Away work?

Tatt2Away treatments are designed to remove the pigmented areas of your tattoo in a series of visits — the number depends on the size of the design. For an average size tattoo the size of your palm and smaller, you will probably need 4 - 5 visits, but we will evaluate your individual needs during your initial consultation. Tattoo pigment is inert and not recognized by the body as a foreign substance. That's why it is not rejected by the body and why it is permanent. Tatt2Away uses a proprietary fluid to bring the tattoo pigment to the surface in the form of a scab. Once the scab falls off – there's no more pigment and the underlying skin is clear.

The Procedure

The tattooed areas of your skin are lightly abraded with a special hand piece similar to the one used in your original tattoo session. The procedure is virtually painless and if you do have a low pain tolerance we can apply a local anaesthetic to minimize any discomfort further. Treatment sessions generally last about 30 minutes to no longer than 60 minutes, during which time small circles are created over the surface of your tattoo. We leave a space in between each circle and these areas will be treated in subsequent sessions. The spacing strategy helps with the healing process and minimizes the chance of scarring.

Time between treatment sessions is usually about 8-12 weeks.

Your practitioner is an expert in Tatt2Away and treatments are only available in a medical practice and are not offered by spas. This facility is one of a select group of medical practices around the country that has been selected to perform Tatt2Away treatments and our staff have been certified in the correct application of the technique. When you schedule a series of Tatt2Away treatments, we will ask you a series of questions about your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate. You will be asked to review information about the procedure and indicate that you understand exactly what is required of you for a successful outcome. You must follow post treatment instructions completely to ensure success.
