Laser tattoo removal is a specialised procedure that uses laser technology to fade or remove unwanted tattoos. It is considered one of the most effective methods for tattoo removal, offering a safe and controlled approach.
How It Works
During a laser tattoo removal session, a high-powered laser emits short pulses of light that target the tattoo ink within the skin. The laser energy is absorbed by the tattoo pigment, causing it to break down into smaller fragments. These fragments are then gradually eliminated by the body’s immune system over time. Multiple treatment sessions are usually required to achieve the desired results.
Laser tattoo removal works on a variety of tattoo colours, including black, blue, green, red, and more. However, certain pigments may be more challenging to remove than others. The effectiveness of the treatment can also depend on factors such as the tattoo’s age, size, location, and the individual’s skin type.
