Laser tattoo removal to completely remove body art

Posted on 26 Feb, 2010

Tattoos are gaining in popularity, but enthusiasts don’t always retain their interest in the designs they select. If you have a design on your body and want to get rid of it then go for laser tattoo removal treatment. This is because it is fast, effective and relatively painless.

Nowadays, there are many people who are opting for laser tattoo removal treatment, as it helps in removing the body art in just a few sittings. In this process, the lasers target the area of the tattoo. These lasers are concentrated beams of light which will help in breaking the ink into tiny particles. These particles of ink are then removed with the help of the patient’s immune system.

Number of sessions

The time frame is determined based on several factors such as the size and colour of the tattoos. The whole removal procedure takes more than one sitting. Small tattoos that contrast greatly with the skin one they are on are the easiest and quickest to remove.

During the laser treatment, the surgeon will test your skin with lasers and then start the treatment. Once the session is completed, the treated area is covered to protect it. There may be some redness and swelling after the treatment, but this will not last.
