History of Laser Tattoo Removal
Experimentation with short-pulsed lasers on tattoos started in the 1960s and continuously was improved upon. Today, the most popular cosmetic laser used on tattoos is the Q-Switched laser. These lasers are successful in targeting tattoo pigment without damaging surrounding skin, treating multiple colors, delivering short cosmetic light pulses, and successfully delivering the amount of energy that the tattoo needs in order to fade.
The Tattoo Removal Process
Laser tattoo removal works by using a Q-switched laser that is appropriate for you skin and tattoo type. The cosmetic laser energy targets the tattoo’s ink, breaking it up into microscopic fragmented pieces that are then flushed out over time through your body’s lymphatic system. Your laser technician or medical professional will discuss the ideal treatment time frame fit for your specific needs.
