Laser Tattoo Removal
~ Life Changes~
Many of us have come to regret getting a tattoo or have experienced the misfortune of having a botched tattoo. In the past decades, tattoos were considered relatively permanent and only invasive and painful procedures inclusive of surgery were used to remove them. Fortunately, technology has advanced and lasers are now the standard form of tattoo removal.
In order to understand how lasers can remove a tattoo it is important to understand what exactly a tattoo is. A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on the body when pigment is inserted into the dermal layer of the skin through ruptures in the skin's top layer. Modern-day tattoos are applied by using an electric tattoo machine with needles that rapidly puncture the skin with an up and down motion not unlike that of a sewing machine. This deep insertion of pigment is what creates a tattoo.
Understanding how a tattoo is made, we can know understand how the principles of laser energy work to remove an unwanted or botched tattoo. First, laser light is a very specific kind of energy it has a very specific amount of energy (wavelength) that behaves in a unique way. When laser energy hits a certain pigment - tattoo color, it causes the pigment to break down with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. Once the pigment is broken down, your own body's immune system absorbs and eliminates the pigment.

Laser tattoo removal , which has been proven to be effective, is the method of choice. Although complete removal can never be guaranteed, the degree of remaining color variations or blemishes depends upon several factors including: size, location, the individual's ability to heal, how the tattoo was applied and how deep the ink was implanted. Black Ink is the ink that has the greatest and fastest removal rate. A tattoo applied by a more experienced artist may be more difficult to remove since the pigment tends to be evenly implanted, denser and in a deeper level of the skin. New tattoos may also be more difficult to remove than old ones. For this reason, an in person consultation with a specially trained tattoo removal specialist is advised. These experienced professionals will be able to better provide you with an individual assessment.
