Tattoo Removal
What is it?
Tattoo removal is done with a laser. This is a cosmetic procedure used to eliminate or significantly fade the appearance of tattoos on the skin. Laser tattoo removal is one of the most effective and commonly used methods for getting rid of unwanted tattoos. The process involves the use of specific laser devices designed to target and break down the tattoo ink particles in the skin.
How does it interact with skin?
The laser emits high-intensity energy in very short pulses. The wavelength and type of laser used depend on the colors of the tattoo ink. Different colors require different laser wavelengths for effective removal. The laser energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, causing them to heat up and shatter into smaller fragments. The broken-down ink particles are then gradually removed by the body’s immune system and transported through the lymphatic system.
What’s the downtime?
Laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, often described as feeling like rubber band snaps on the skin. After the procedure, the treated area may experience redness, swelling, and potential scabbing. Proper aftercare, including keeping the area clean and protecting it from sun exposure, is essential for a successful outcome.
How many treatments are needed?
Multiple laser sessions are typically required to achieve the desired level of tattoo removal. The tattoo will gradually fade between sessions, and the skin will have time to heal between treatments.
