Tattoo Removal

Before the laser tattoo removal technique came into picture, tattoos were removed by sanding the area or dermabrasion. Another method used was to cutting out the tattooed skin and using a skin graft from another area to replace the skin. However, with the advent of the laser technology, tattoo removal has becomes easier to perform.

What is the Laser Tattoo Removal Technique ?

In the laser tattoo removal procedure, your tattooed skin is subjected to a laser beam which breaks down the pigments of colors from your tattoo and removes them off the surface of the skin.

Risks and Side Effects

• The procedure itself is very painful, since the laser beam creates a lot of targeted heat. Even after the procedure your tattoo will feel hot and will be swollen for a couple of days.
• The skin that is subjected to the laser can lose some of its natural pigments and can turn pale.
• There can be scarring in some cases if you pick on the treated area.
• Sometimes you can experience blistering and infection in the area.

However, with the advancements that are happening in the laser industry, the side effects can be brought down to minimum and the treatment can be almost hassle free.
