Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal in a clinic is a procedure that is done with the help of a laser. The laser sends out powerful light pulses that break up the tattoo ink particles, allowing them to be absorbed by the body's natural processes. The advantages of this procedure are that it is very safe and effective, with minimal risk of scarring or any other side effects. It can also remove tattoos of all colors, sizes, and shapes. Additionally, the process is usually quick and can be done in multiple sessions, depending on the tattoo size and the patient's skin type.

Step-by-Step process:

  • Consultation: Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with a skin specialist to discuss your tattoo, your skin type and your expectations for the removal process.
  • Test patch: A test patch of laser treatment may be done to determine the best treatment method and to ensure that you do not have an adverse reaction to the laser.
  • Numbing cream: A numbing cream may be applied to the area to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
  • Laser treatment: The laser emits pulses of light energy that break down the tattoo ink. The laser is aimed at the tattooed area and the ink absorbs the light energy, breaking it down into small particles that are then removed by the body's immune system.
  • Aftercare: After the procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, and scabbing in the treated area. You will be given instructions on how to care for the area during the healing process.
  • Repeat sessions: Depending on the size, color, location, and age of the tattoo, multiple sessions may be needed for complete removal.
