Remove tattoos with laser technology

Posted on 18 Feb, 2010

Lots of people who get tattoos on their body regret it afterwards if it doesn’t turn out exactly as they hoped. In such cases, laser tattoo removal is highly effective and painless. Before undergoing treatment, it is always recommended that you consult a surgeon or specialist to advise you on the best treatment for you.

In the process of laser tattoo removal, laser light is focused on the tattoo which helps remove the pigment. The lasers are most effective against black pigment, although all the colours can be removed.

Treatment is dependent on certain factors

First of all, you need to consider the overall size of the tattoo which has to be removed from your skin. Small tattoos with only one colour of ink can be removed faster and more easily. Large, multicoloured pieces of body art take much longer. Once you have consulted a dermatologist then you will be advised of the number of sessions it will take to totally remove the tattoo.

Once the procedure is finished, an ice pack is placed on the treated area. Sometimes, the area which is treated is also covered with a bandage to prevent any kind of infection or sun damage.

One of the best things about laser tattoo removal is that it is painless and quick. In addition to this, there will be no scar left on the skin.
