You might consider tattoo removal if you regret a tattoo or you’re unhappy with the appearance of your tattoo. Perhaps the tattoo has faded or blurred, or you decide that the tattoo doesn’t fit your current image.
Tattoo removal might also be important if you develop an allergic reaction to the tattoo or other complications, such as an infection.
Laser technology is the latest advancement in tattoo removal treatment. Though traditional methods are still used, laser tattoo removal has produced better and more satisfying results for patients without a significant increase in cost.
During a laser tattoo removal treatment, the laser’s high energy light breaks up the tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are gradually absorbed by the skin and cleared away. LASER light is specifically absorbed by the tattoo pigment and causes minimal to no harm to the rest of the skin.
The procedure causes only little discomfort as a topical numbing cream is applied prior to the treatment. Following the treatment minor skin redness and tenderness may occur but usually reduces within a few days. Less frequently some residual ink is left behind and is difficult to remove even with multiple sittings.
Usually multiple sittings are required at an interval of roughly 6 weeks till satisfactory results are achieved.
