Insights from the medical team at Cambridge Medical Group
Tattoos, while deeply personal, may lose their relevance over time. The decision to remove one may be influenced by lifestyle changes, professional considerations, or evolving aesthetic preferences. At Cambridge Medical Group, tattoo removal is approached with clinical precision — guided by your skin type, tattoo characteristics, and the latest in medically supervised technology.
Tattoo removal is rarely completed in a single session. The process usually involves multiple treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow for adequate healing and gradual pigment clearance.
Key factors that influence treatment duration:
Each session contributes incrementally to breaking down ink particles, with outcomes varying by individual.
Tattoo ink varies widely in its chemical makeup and depth, which affects how well it responds to treatment. Today’s advanced medical lasers offer more versatility across different pigment types and skin tones.
At Cambridge Medical Group, laser options may include:
The specific device and settings are determined during consultation, based on your tattoo and skin profile.
Tattoo removal sessions at Cambridge Medical Group are conducted under medical supervision and tailored to the individual.
General treatment flow includes:
Temporary redness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding may occur post-procedure and typically resolve within a few days.
Sun exposure before or after treatment can interfere with pigment clearance and increase the risk of skin sensitivity or darkening (PIH), especially in darker skin types.
Recommended precautions:
If the treatment area is sunburned or already pigmented, the session may be rescheduled for safety.
Not all tattoos respond the same way to laser treatments. Factors such as tattoo layering, ink type, skin healing response, and scar risk all affect the choice of treatment.
During consultation, the practitioner will assess:
Managing expectations is important: while fading is often achievable, complete removal may not always be possible, especially for dense or multi-layered tattoos.
