Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal

The laser-assisted technique of tattoo removal works the best. In this method, the laser breaks the dark pigment present in the tattoo using a high-intensity beam of light of precise wavelength. A consultation with an expert dermatologist or laser specialist can help determine the success rate for laser tattoo removal. The success of laser tattoo removal depends upon the type of tattoo, color of tattoo, and the intensity of depth the tattoo ink is present in the skin.

In this method, the particular wavelengths of laser light pass through the skin, and it breaks up the tattoo ink that is present underneath the skin. The tattoo pigment is then removed from the body by the immune cells. Different wavelengths of lasers are used to break different colors of tattoo ink, and dark color like black tattoo ink is most easiest to remove, as they absorb all types of laser light wavelengths.

The laser is a safest and low-risk method that helps one to get a tattoo-free skin. It is a bloodless technique that can remove stronger, lager, colored, and complex tattoos by targeting an intense beam of light that break the tattoo ink pigment without leaving behind any scar on the body.
