What Is Laser Tattoo Removal and How Does It Work?
Laser tattoo removal is a procedure that uses high-intensity laser beams to break down the ink particles in a tattoo into smaller fragments. The laser targets the pigment in the tattoo, causing it to fragment and allowing the body’s immune system to gradually remove the ink. Different types of lasers are used depending on the color and depth of the tattoo. Over time, with multiple sessions, the tattoo fades and may eventually become almost invisible.
The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal depends on several factors, including the size, color, and age of the tattoo, as well as the patient’s skin type. Darker inks, such as black and blue, are typically easier to remove, while lighter colors like yellow and green may require more sessions. The laser selectively targets the ink without damaging the surrounding skin, making it a safe and effective method for removing unwanted tattoos.
