LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
​Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is simple, safe, and produces fantastic results. The advanced technology works by allowing the light produced by the laser to pass through the skin and break up the tattoo ink into tiny particles. The body then disposes of these fragments via its immune system. It usually takes several treatment sessions to ensure success, with regular intervals between sessions.
The procedure can cause a stinging sensation, which can be eased by applying a local anesthetic cream. Some people also experience a lightening or darkening of the affected skin, though in most cases this returns to normal after six months. Redness in the area is common after the procedure, but subsides quickly. The professionals performing the treatment will advise using a high-factor sun block while the skin is still sensitive.
How does Laser Tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal involves short pulses of intense light targeted at the tattoo that pass through the top layers of the skin. The laser light is absorbed by the tattoo ink pigments, breaking them down into minuscule pieces that are then removed naturally by the body’s immune system. Only the pigment from the tattoo is targeted in laser tattoo removal so the surrounding skin and tissue is not harmed or damaged.
The first pigments to fade are black and other dark colours. Dark colours absorb all laser wavelengths which increases the effectiveness of laser tattoo removal treatments. Lighter colours including yellow and green selectively absorb laser light and must be treated with laser wavelengths specific to the pigment colours.
