Q & A
Below are commonly asked questions relating to the treatments that we offer at Industry.
DOES TATTOO REMOVAL HURT
The best way I can describe tattoo removal is by saying that it feels like hot chip fat hitting your skin. although tattoo removal is quite painful, it is VERY quick.
HOW MANY TATTOO REMOVAL SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
It is not possible to estimate the amount of sessions just by looking at a tattoo,
​
but averages are below.
black tattoo is approximately 8 - 10 sessions
colour can be upwards of 12 sessions
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL PERMANENT?
Due to the IPL targeting the hair follicles it can only attack active follicles. therefore, more hair follicles will probably appear at a later date meaning that 100% hair free is not likely. However 90% less hair is common with any hair growing back much slower. I would recommend a top up 3/6 month top up on the area that has been treated.
IS IPL SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
Not all skin types provide affective results, the ideal skin and hair is fair skin with dark hairs as the light is attracted to the melanin in the hair colour. However this means that those with darker skin unfortunately cannot use IPL as this may cause discolouration of their skin.
DO YOU USE GUNS TO PIERCE WITH?
We do not use guns. We only use high quality single use disposable blades.
I HAVE A LUMP ON MY PIERCING
Most lumps and bumps are caused by irritation. Any knock, bang, catching it, sleeping on it, headphones can cause the lump. The irritation bump is called a granuloma, although these are annoying are quite simple to treat and reduce.
ALWAYS make sure your hands are clean before handling a piercing.
A good tip to help with irritation is to soak daily with a hot camomile tea bag. do this daily for 7 to 21 days.
