Lasers have revolutionized treatment in many different areas, including the treatment of skin conditions. The latest lasers can easily remove acne, scars, tattoos and unsightly pigmentation from your skin. This article deals with laser tattoo removal.
Unwanted tattoos used to be removed by dermabrasion, if they were removed at all. Unfortunately this is quite a painful and ineffective treatment, unlike laser treatments. This is one of the main reasons why most of the people are going with laser tattoo removal treatment now that it is available.
If you want to get rid of unwanted tattoos then you need to consider some factors. The size of the tattoo and the colours used in it determine the number of sessions required to remove the entire thing. For instance, if you have a small black coloured tattoo on your arm then it can be removed relatively quickly compared to a sprawling multicoloured piece.
In each session, the beam of light is directed on the area which needs to be treated. These lasers hit the pigments and break the ink in the tattoo up. The remaining particles are absorbed by the skin within a few weeks or months. Before undergoing any kind of laser treatment, it is always recommended to consult a dermatologist.
