THE PURPOSE OF RADIATION TATTOOS

Radiation tattoos are permanent markers applied to the skin, typically in the form of small dots, to precisely guide the delivery of radiation therapy during cancer treatment. Their permanence ensures they remain visible throughout the treatment regimen, unaffected by activities like showering or swimming. Most often, these tattoos consist of four dots that outline the treatment area, although some patients require fewer.

 

The procedure involves placing a drop of blue or black ink into the dermis using a fine needle. These tattoos are strategically positioned to be discreet. While radiation tattoos are usually inconspicuous, they can serve as a difficult reminder for individuals who have experienced cancer. Many patients may want to have these reminders removed once medically cleared to do so by their oncologist.

REASONS FOR REMOVING THEM

People may choose to remove their radiation tattoos for several reasons:

  • Their oncologist has deemed removal safe and non-interfering with future treatment.

  • The tattoos are in a visible location, leading to self-consciousness about appearance.

  • They prefer not to be reminded of their cancer journey and treatment.

  • They seek a fresh start in life post-cancer.

  • Modern tattoo removal procedures are faster and less painful than before.

 

If you're ready to part with your radiation tattoos, Dr. Stonebridge at Identity Laser Clinic is here to assist you. Contact us today to schedule an assessment of your tattoos and to learn more about the removal process.

THE BEST OPTION FOR TATTOO REMOVAL

Our PicoSure Pro laser stands out as an optimal choice for radiation tattoo removal due to its advanced technology and efficacy. Unlike traditional lasers, the PicoSure Pro utilizes picosecond technology, which delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles. This allows for more efficient clearance of tattoos, including radiation tattoos, with fewer treatments compared to older laser systems.

One of the key benefits of the PicoSure Pro is its ability to treat a wide range of ink colours, including difficult-to-remove blues, which are common in radiation tattoos. Its precision targeting minimizes damage to surrounding skin. Additionally, the picosecond pulses are less painful and require less downtime compared to older nanosecond lasers, making the treatment experience more comfortable for patients.

 

Its proven track record of safety and effectiveness, coupled with minimal side effects, makes our PicoSure Pro the preferred choice among clinicians and patients alike for achieving optimal results in radiation tattoo removal.
