Say goodbye to unwanted body tattoos with laser treatment

Posted on 09 Nov, 2009

In the past, it was difficult to get rid of tattoos, but if you want to remove unwanted tattoos nowadays, then laser tattoo removal treatment is one of the most reliable and safe options. Laser treatments take considerably less time than other methods such as surgery. The laser is selected according to the colour of the tattoo, and the laser treatment depends upon the pigment, density and the location of the tattoo on the body. If you want to remove the tattoo partially or completely, then you need to consider laser treatment.

Here is some further information about laser tattoo removal treatment:

Different lasers– The target of the laser, which is specially designed for removing tattoos, depends on the type of tattoo. This is because there are different methods used for removing professional, amateur and cosmetic tattoos.

The procedure – The laser beam destroys the pigments of the tattoo, and after 5 or 6 sessions or within 2 months, most tattoos can be completely removed from the skin. However, in the case of professional tattoos, a minimum of 10 sessions will be required.

Post-treatment – After the treatment is completed, the skin may go white or bleed slightly, but this will disappear within 8-10 days. Also, the skin needs to be protected from the sun after the treatment.

Results – The tattoo will fade over a period of time, as the body absorbs the small particles of tattoo pigment freed by the laser. There are some colours which are difficult to treat, but there are several types of lasers available nowadays for use on all sorts of multi-coloured tattoos.

If you are planning to undergo laser tattoo removal treatment then you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible. This is because the older the tattoo gets, the more difficult it becomes to remove it.
