1.

State which of the following statements is not true:

If the tattoo has been made only recently it will be more easily removed than older ones.

With current techniques, mostly it is possible to fade tattoos that are meant to be permanent but hardly remove them completely without leaving any trace.

Tattoo tend to fade over time. This is because the pigments of the tattoos are slowly adsorbed by the body. However the process is very slow and the tattoo will fade naturally but never disappear.

Hint

2.

State which ones of the following statements are true:

With expensive tattoo removal lasers it always possible to remove all permanent tattoos of any colour.

The normal side effect of laser tattoo removal is swelling and blistering. This normally starts to appear the day following the treatment. The blistering and swelling will subside by itself without medication.

A normal side effect of laser tattoo removal is bleeding. This occurs soon after the laser blast.

After laser tattoo removal treatment there will be no side effects and the client will not need to carry out any aftercare. The tattoo will just fade.

Despite the type of laser used and the way it is used, if the client does not carry out the aftercare properly undesired effects could develop, including evident scarring following infections.

A common long term side effect of Tattoo Removal lasers is hypo-pigmentation.

3.

State which one of the following statements about electrical arcing is likely to be true:

Like with the use of lasers, electrical arcing will fade the tattoos progressively.

Electrical arcing (or plasma) is far superior in tattoo removal than most lasers.

Laser treatment is far superior to Tattoo Removal using electrical arcing.

Hint

4.

With most expensive laser tattoo removal equipment there is no need to perform any patch testing.

True. If you purchased a large device costing more than 100K than there is no need for patch testing.

5.

When performing a patch test for tattoo removal using electrical arcing:

You have to perform the same type of treatment you intend to carry out but on a small area of the tattoo.

The treatment should be of a lower intensity that what you intend to carry out.

The intensity of the treatment during the patch testing should be higher than what you intend to carry out during the full treatment.

6.

When using electrical arcing for tattoo removal treatments:

The larger the area you treat the higher the risks of infection.

The size of the area you treat does not have anything to do with the likelihood of infection if you performed the treatment correctly.

If you do not use osmosis the size of the area treated does not really matter

Hint

7.

What is the maximum approximate size of the area of the tattoo it is recommended to treat at a time?

The size of 10 dollar bill.

The size approximate size of a five pound note.

The approximate size of a 50p coin or a two Euro coin.

Hint

13.

When advertising for tattoo removal using electrical arcing (also referred to as plasma) you should say:

MULTIPLE ANSWERS

you are part of a selected group of professionals who can safely use electrical arcing for tattoo removal.

electrical arcing (or plasma) is a revolutionary invention. Electrical arcing was invented 10 years ago, there is a world patent on plasma. The technique you can use is better than any laser.

like tattoo removal with lasers it may take 5 to 10 treatments to fade the tattoo to a satisfactory level.

the number of sessions required to fade the tattoo to a satisfactory level also depends on the type of pigments used to draw the tattoo at the time as well as the equipment used.

with this revolutionary new technology never seen before in history you will be able to remove any tattoo without leaving any trace.

Hint

14.

Soon after every treatment you should:

Send a standard email to your client detailing the aftercare procedure. You can also hand over a leaflet for the instructions if you wish.

tell the clients to resume all activities and put a plaster onto the treated area.

Hint

15.

If the tattoo is placed on a part of the body which is subject to stretching or folding like elbows, knees, underarms or areas easily subject to infections like the groin area:

It is important that you warn the client that the after-care may be more challenging than other areas of the body especially due to the higher likelihood of infections. If they still agree to go ahead you can carry out the full treatment.

Although you know the areas are more likely to present challenges during the after-care, you still go ahead and do not perform a patch test.

Hint

16.

If three days after the treatment the scab has not formed yet:

this may mean that an infection could be developing.

there is nothing to worry about. Scabs do not always form and the part may appear red.

Hint

17.

If you want to use osmosis after electrical arcing, what type of sodium chloride can you use?

Sea salt.

Table sea salt.

Mineral salt.

Sterile sodium chloride.

Hint

18.

In tattoo removal, if the area you treat is not easily subject to infections or does not present challenges in the after-care, why do you use osmosis after applying the electrical arcing?

To pull the deeper pigments you have broken while applying the electrical arcing to surface.

We use Sodium Chloride as an antiseptic.

Osmosis makes the tattoo removal experience more amusing.

Hint

19.

The first time I use electrical arcing for tattoo removal:

I can perform normal intensity treatments including osmosis, if I have experience using the device in other aesthetic applications.

In any case I should try a low intensity treatment on a small area without using osmosis on a small area and let the area recover first, then perform another treatment on another area of the tattoo increasing the intensity of the treatment and let the area recover. Only then I can go ahead and use osmosis after applying voltaic arcing.

I am a certified nurse, therefore I can go ahead with full treatments.

Hint

20.

The intensity of the treatment, when using osmosis for tattoo removal is primarily dictated by:

the power setting of the device.

how the device is used.

the duration of the sodium chloride application. The longer the duration the stronger the intensity of the osmosis.

where on the body the tattoo is drawn.

Hint

21.

When you apply fine sterile sodium chloride on the part of the tattoo you treated you should not:

MULTIPLE ANSWERS

rub the salt.

bandage the part.

intentionally press the salt. You are meant to only delicately place it on the area you treated.
