Laser Alma Q is the ideal device for the removal of natural or artificial skin pigmentation, without the risk of causing damage or injury to the surrounding tissue, neither negative side effects.

Unwanted Tattoos

Tattoos are not permanent anymore and it is possible to remove them from the skin. The experienced dermatologist of Dermadvance can achieve tattoo removal safely and effectively, using different techniques and devices.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal with the Q-switch Laser method is the most commonly used treatment because of its low risk, while being a highly effective procedure with minimal side effects. It is the most effective tattoo removal method worldwide.

What you should know before tattoo removal

Professionally applied tattoos tend to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin at uniform levels. This uniformity allows the dermatologist to use techniques that remove broader areas of inked skin at the same depth.

• Professional tattoos with certain new colours and shades are particularly difficult to remove completely.
• Amateur tattoos can be more difficult to remove than professional tattoos in most cases.
• Recent tattoos are often more difficult to be remove than older ones.
• In certain rare cases, complete tattoo removal is not always possible.

Frequently Asked Questions – The doctor provides answers!

• Which is the best tattoo removal method in my case?

  Tattoo removal with the Q-switch Laser method is the most effective tattoo removal method worldwide.

• How much does the treatment cost?

  The cost depends on the size of the tattoo, its colour and the depth of ink. For this reason, an initial session is conducted, during which the dermatologist will inform you about everything you need to know. On average 8-10 sessions are required, but each case is unique, making the dermatologist’s assessment an essential step in the procedure.

• Is tattoo removal painful?

  Tattoo removal is tolerable, but if one wants so, a special cream can be used that numbs the area under treatment.

The ALMA Q Laser is now available in Greece

The revolutionary new ultra-modern medical ALMA Q Laser, the best option for tattoo removal, is now available in Greece thanks to Dermadvance. This innovative Medical Device allows for the first-time successful removal of all tattoo colours without scarring or any marks. The new technology of Laser ALMA Q makes quicker tattoo removal in less sessions possible. It is also more effective in treating more difficult cases, such as amateur tattoos that were not created by experienced tattoo artists.

What’s new in Tattoo Removal?

Until now, the removal of multi-colouredtattoos was prohibitive, because of the old technology of most tattoo removal lasers (QS ruby laser 694 nm class) that can only remove dark-coloured tattoos, such as blue and black, but cannot remove colours such as red, yellow, and orange. In such cases, usually invasive methods were the only choice, achieving an almost prohibitive aesthetic result, such as deep dermabrasion, which usually causes scarring, or surgical excision.

However, the innovative technology of ALMA Q laser, comes to change what we knew so far, as it can remove tattoos of any colour painlessly and without scarring.

The permanent solution in removing multi-coloured tattoos

ALMA Q gives a permanent solution to the problem of multi-coloured tattoo removal because it is the only, latest technology Q switched laser combining two different wavelengths and two different – but supplementary – Laser technologies in the same device and offers unique and remarkable advantages, including the following:

• It allows us to remove tattoos of any colour, even the “prohibited” ones, such as red, yellow, and orange, that older technologies didn’t even think to “touch”.
• It allows us to perform more than one tattoo removal session during the same day, making tattoo removal procedure much quicker.
• The possibility of remaining colour or complications, such as post-traumatic scarring, hyperpigmentation, etc. is almost zero as compared to older lasers.
• Tattoo removal from persons with dark skin colour, which was a “problematic” treatment option for the “old” Q switched laser, is now achieved easily.

Cutting Edge “2-in-1” Technology exclusively in Dermadvance

A powerful combination of two different laser types (Nd YAG 1064 nm laser, KTP 532 laser) allows the effective switching of the wavelengths by only one device, always focusing on the “target”.

The innovative combination of Q switched, Long pulsed and Quasi Long pulsed technologies guarantees impressive results, and demonstrates that this device is one of the most multifunctional tools of its kind.
Despite the fact that these wavelengths pre-existed and their effectiveness was good to date for tattoo removal, the combination in the same device and the ultra-modern technological advances in wavelength emission, make ALMA Q the absolutely innovative Laser for tattoo removal. ALMA Q Laser technology, when used by a specialised dermatologist, allows us to safely “erase” forever a tattoo when it is unwanted.

Dermadvance Dermatology Clinic and the Scientific Director, Dermatologist, Dr. Christos Stamou brought for the first time and exclusively Alma Q Laser Technology in Greece, aiming to offer the most sophisticated and effective technology available for tattoo removal.
