LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal involves breaking down the ink particles in the tattoo. The process then involves the body flushing away the ink via the lymphatic system. Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective method of removing any unwanted tattoos.
There are several variations of lasers used in the market, including PICO lasers, Picosecond lasers and Q-Switched lasers, which is the most commonly used. Q-Pitched lasers emit high-energy pulses of light that break down the ink particles, allowing the body to naturally remove the tattoo.
It is completely normal to experience discomfort during laser tattoo removal and most people do not require any painkillers for the procedure.
Similar to the application of a tattoo, it is common for the area to become red, swollen and itchy. It is crucial that you follow the aftercare which will provided to you by your laser tattoo removal specialist during your appointment. It is also helpful if you keep the area clean and moisturised which both speeds up the healing process, and keeps the area safe from infection.
It is always recommended to do your research before starting the laser tattoo removal journey to ensure you are completely comfortable in the practitioner and their methods and keep in mind that it can take several sessions to completely remove the unwanted tattoo.
