Get to know our new members - Zapp Laser Studio
We caught up with new members Zapp Laser Studio to find out how laser tattoo removal works- and did you know one in five of the UK population has a tattoo?!
Tell us about Zapp Laser Studio and what you do
Zapp Laser Studio specialise in PicoSure Tattoo Removal and Skin Rejuvenation.The PicoSure offers the most effective laser tattoo removal in the world! It uses cutting edge technology to blast the ink into tiny dust like particles which are easily absorbed by the lymphatic system, a critical part of your body’s immune system, and disposed of naturally.
The PicoSure is a medical grade laser and the most advanced of its kind in the world! It is up to 4x more effective than standard lasers and 4x faster at removing your tattoo. The PicoSure is actually capable of fully removing tattoos unlike most other lasers. We are able to treat all colours as the PicoSure can deliver three different wavelengths. We are so confident that we offer a 6 treatment guarantee! In the unlikely event that it takes more than 6 treatments to remove your tattoo, we will carry out any extra treatments for FREE!
The PicoSure is also capable of delivering the most advanced laser skin rejuvenation for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and pigmentation.
It is able to deliver non-surgical Skin Rejuvenation with virtually no down time. In fact, you could pop in during your lunch hour and go straight back to work! The pressure wave technology tricks the skin into believing that trauma has taken place. This signals the cells into creating new Collagen and Elastin without any damage to the skin. This is perfect for reducing the visibility of acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles. Pigmentation from sun damage and aging can also be reduced or removed completely.
We offer expert advice and individual treatment plans during our FREE consultations.
What inspired you to set up the business?
We have been interested in Aesthetics for some time and with the rise in popularity of Tattooing we identified the need for tattoo removal and fading for cover-ups, especially in Brighton and beyond. We then researched the most advanced and effective laser in the world and discovered the PicoSure. It uses Picosecond technology to blast the ink. A Picosecond is one trillionth of a second! The shorter the pulse duration the more energy it can deliver. The PicoSure delivers that energy one thousand times faster than any other laser on the market. We fell in love with this technonlogy and then discovered its Skin Rejuvenation talents too! It took Cynosure 9 years to create . A few have tried to copy it but with very little success. It is cutting edge technology and will be the most advaced for some years to come! There are only 13 of these lasers in the UK and we are the only Clinic South of London to have one!
What’s changed since you started the business?
Tattooing isn’t slowing down and we are getting busier. I don’t think we are anywhere near the peak yet and wont be for some years to come. People’s perceptions have changed. Until now full removal wasn’t really an option. The other machines on the market can create heat which can burn tissue and create scarring. The PicoSure delivers energy so fast that there is no heat. Massively minimising the risk of tissue damage and scarring. Educating people so that they understand this advance in technology is a big focus for us. A lot of people are still choosing the cheaper option but regretting it and then coming to us for help. Tattoo artists perceptions are changing too. Historically we have seen Tattooing V’s Laser but now they go hand in hand. Offering the client a few laser sessions opens up so much more choice for a cover up.
What‘s your favourite part of your job?
Changing peoples lives! It sounds silly but that is what we do. We give people their confidence back. There are so many reasons why clients want their tattoos faded or removed but ultimately its because they don’t like them any more and in some cases, hate them. They may have lived with this feeling for many, many years! By removing them we open up a new future for them. It really can be life changing.
What do you love about doing business in Brighton?
Brighton is a melting pot of cultures and creativity so we meet many interesting people with fascinating stories. We love Brighton, which is why we moved here. To set up a business in the heart of it and interact with the public on a very personal level is amazing. It’s all about small businesses having a big impact in Brighton. Its unique.
What is your top tip for business success?
Hard work, determination, knowledge and belief. Nothing is easy. In a small business you need to become an expert in everything! The first few years are the hardest. Put in the work then and things should get easier!
