Introduction
Tattoo removal is a procedure carried out to remove an unwanted tattoo. Some of the common techniques used for tattoo removal include laser surgery, surgical removal, and dermabrasion. In this procedure, the tattoo ink is placed beneath the top layer of the skin and all laser wavelengths are absorbed by the black tattoo pigment. Three common treatments used widely by aestheticians are laser removal, surgical excision, and dermabrasion. As far as the results are concerned, tattoos are meant to be permanent, however complete tattoo removal is difficult. Still, with professional treatments under expert guidance, some degree of the desired result is possible.
How it works
The laser is used to remove tattoos by dispersing the pigment hues with a strong light beam. Because it is the most straightforward color to remove, all laser wavelengths are absorbed by the black tattoo pigment.
