Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to break down the ink particles in a tattoo, allowing the body to naturally remove them. The laser sends short pulses of light through the top layers of the skin, which are absorbed by the tattoo ink. The ink particles are then broken down into smaller fragments, which are absorbed by the body's immune system and eliminated.

Laser tattoo removal is generally considered to be safe, but it can be associated with certain side effects, including pain, swelling and redness which can be managed with the use of topical anesthetics or other pain relief methods. There is a small risk of scarring with laser tattoo removal, but this is generally rare.

Multiple treatment sessions are typically needed to fully remove a tattoo, and the number of sessions required will depend on the size, location, and color of the tattoo, as well as the type of laser used. It is important to carefully research the experience and qualifications of the practitioner performing the treatment to ensure the best possible outcome.
