My name is John Sheffield, my wife Dr Nina Sheffield and I own and run Royal Tunbridge Wells Skin & Laser Clinic, RTW Skin & Laser for short.
In my youth I served for many years as a Radar Operator and Ships Diver in the Royal Navy on Frigates and Aircraft Carriers before I transferred to the Submarine Service. At the tender age of 16 while in Hong Kong I foolishly had some tattoos done. I have removed three of these and partly removed one other. I can show you that I am living proof that removal of tattoos with the Q switched laser works and works exceptionally well, provided you have the right equipment.
I have become an expert in tattoo removal and I have equipped myself with the very latest technology and the highest power “Q” switched lasers in the world. I can offer the most cost effective and successful tattoo removal service available anywhere. I train doctors, surgeons and other laser users in the use of the Fotona Q switched Laser and I am regularly consulted by Fotona for my views in relation to the development of new and improved technology.
Tattoos can seriously affect your personal life, they did mine. They blight your career and cause others to make instant judgments about you. They are a complete “turn off” at job interviews. I went to great lengths to conceal my tattoos at business meetings, on the beach and at the swimming pool I felt others would notice I was tattooed and make judgements about me, even without thinking about it.
Using my wide experience (over 5000 treatments to date) and my wonderful, powerful Fotona Laser I can completely remove or fade tattoos to almost nothing permanently and without scarring. This is the only treatment apart from full surgery that will offer a safe, efficient and cost effective solution.
Any tattoos can be removed with varying degrees of success, depending on how and where it was originally done and most importantly the colour, type and content of pigment used. I can provide all the information you will need and perform a test patch at the initial free consultation.
I use the Fotona QX MAX Laser which is the most powerful "Q" switched Nd. YAG / KTP Laser currently available. It also has the novel ability to be able to convert Nd. YAG laser light (1064nm) to 532, 585 and 650 Nano meters which gives the ability to remove the whole spectrum of colours using these lasers in combination.
No other laser has this ability and you will find that if they do not, you will end up with patches of colour that a standard laser will not be able to “see” let alone remove. If you are in this situation or have a tattoo that you have given up hope of completely removing I will be able to help you.
If you wish to make way for a new tattoo this can also be accommodated. You may have just a name or something you wish to replace. I work with many tattoo studios removing mistakes or out of date tattoos for the area to be re-tattooed later.
Semi-permanent makeup is also removable in some cases if it is poorly done or out of date.
I have many testimonials from satisfied patients should you wish to see them or speak to someone who has been treated for tattoo removal at RTW Skin & Laser.
For more information or advice please contact me by e-mail at john@skinlc.co.uk I will be able to give a broad estimate of price by sending me a picture of the tattoo.
RTW Skin and Laser clinic has the most modern “Q” switched technology delivering the highest power and the shortest treatment times in any clinic worldwide, GUARANTEED
