How It Works: Tattoo Removal in South Croydon with UltraLUX Pro

Unwanted tattoos can impact confidence, lifestyle, or personal expression. Whether it’s an old design you’ve outgrown or a mistake you’d rather forget, tattoo removal in South Croydon is now safer, more effective, and less invasive thanks to UltraLUX Pro laser technology. At 53 Aesthetics, our certified clinicians use advanced Q-switched laser systems to break down tattoo pigment with precision, comfort, and minimal skin disruption.

This guide explains how the process works, what to expect, and why more people are choosing medically-led removal options.

What Is Laser Tattoo Removal and How Does It Work?

Laser tattoo removal uses concentrated light pulses to break ink particles into smaller fragments, allowing the body’s immune system to naturally clear them over time.

UltraLUX Pro uses Q-switched technology, which delivers short, high-intensity pulses at specific wavelengths to target pigment while preserving surrounding skin.

The science behind it:

Selective photothermolysis targets melanin-rich ink
Pigment absorbs light, heats, and shatters
Fragments are gradually flushed by the lymphatic system

This technique is safe, non-invasive, and effective on both professional and amateur tattoos.

Why UltraLUX Pro Offers a Better Experience

Faster results with less discomfort
Treats black, blue, red, and other pigment colours
Less skin trauma compared to older laser systems

What Areas Can Be Treated?

UltraLUX Pro can remove tattoos from almost any body area, including:

Arms
Wrists and hands
Back and shoulders
Chest
Legs and ankles
Neck
Face (excluding very sensitive zones)

What to Expect During Your Tattoo Removal Journey

Step 1 – Your Consultation

Every client begins with a personalised consultation and patch test. This helps us understand:

Skin type
Tattoo age, colour, and size
Medical history
Your goals and expectations

Step 2 – Treatment Sessions

Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart. You may need 6–12 treatments, depending on:

Ink colour and density
Skin tone
Tattoo location
How the tattoo was applied

Each session takes 10–60 minutes. After each visit, the tattoo fades gradually.

Step 3 – Aftercare and Recovery

Mild redness or swelling is common. We provide:

Cooling gel
Aftercare advice
Access to our team if any concerns arise

Avoid sun exposure, saunas, or picking scabs to prevent pigmentation or scarring.
