How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo is a gradual process and relies both on our immunity as well as laser. The removal works by using high-intensity laser beams to break down the ink particles in the skin. Over time, the body’s natural immune system absorbs and flushes out the fragmented ink, gradually fading the tattoo. The number of required sessions depends on many factors such as size, colour, and the details of the tattoo.
What Affects Tattoo Removal Success?
Ink Color
Dark colours (black and blue) respond best to laser removal, while lighter colours like yellow and white usually require a few more sessions to get rid of them.
Tattoo Size
Naturally a larger tattoo takes more time and multiple sessions to fully remove.
Ink Depth & Density
Tattoos with intense art and details that are done by professionals take longer to remove than they are done with deeper intense ink. However, amateur tattoos can be removed much faster.
Skin Type
If you have a lighter skin tone you might see the results quicker. Regardless, the treatment is safe for everyone.
Tattoo Age
Older tattoos fade faster than new ones due to ink breakdown over time.
Aftercare
Proper post-treatment care speeds up healing and helps with results.
