Take advantage of laser treatment for tattoo-free skin

Posted on 11 Feb, 2010

Laser treatment has become one of the most effective and popular skin treatments, as lasers can be used for several skin conditions such as removing excess hair, pigmentation, acne scars and unwanted tattoos. One of the best things about laser treatment is that it can be used on many areas of the body.

Here is a little more information on laser tattoo removal:

There are many people who get tattoos but then want to get rid of them further down the line. In the past, tattoos were removed with the help of excision and dermabrassion but they were very painful and not very effective. The latest laser technology helps you to remove unwanted tattoos with little to no side-effects.

During laser tattoo removal, powerful lasers are used to remove the tattoo pigments, even those embedded in deeper layers of skin. The lasers operate in a way so that they don’t damage the upper layers of skin and only destroy the tattoo pigments. This leads to fragmentation of the pigments, which are later removed by the body. An anesthetic is usually applied to the skin beforehand, so that no pain is felt.

The procedure of laser tattoo removal differs according to the size and colour of the tattoo. This is because different colours of ink react to different types of lasers. This also has an effect on the number of sessions that are required, as does the size of the tattoo.

Laser tattoo removal is an effective way of getting rid of your unwanted designs for good.
