How does Laser Tattoo Removal work ?
- Selective Photothermolysis: Laser emits specific wavelengths absorbed by tattoo ink, avoiding damage to surrounding skin.
- Ink Particle Breakdown: The absorbed laser energy causes tattoo ink particles to fragment into smaller pieces.
- Body’s Natural Processes: These fragmented ink particles are then removed by the body’s immune system over time.
- Multiple Wavelengths: Different wavelengths are used to target different ink colors effectively.
- Gradual Fading: With each session, the tattoo ink fades progressively, requiring multiple treatments for complete removal.
- Customization: Laser settings are tailored based on the tattoo’s color, density, and the patient’s skin type.
- Minimal Invasion: The procedure is non-surgical, offering a safer alternative to invasive tattoo removal methods.
