How do Lasers remove tattoos?
Lasers work by directing their action on the ink with highly concentrated ray of colored light beams. These laser beam breaks up the ink particles into tiny fragments which are later cleared up by the bodys scavenging cells. This process of fragmenting the ink particles requires numerous sessions depending on the depth of the ink level. The procedure is bloodless and no incisions are made. The laser selectively targets the pigment of the tattoo without damaging the surrounding skin. One has to understand that with deeper penetration of the skin and multiple sessions, the heat generated by the lasers also cause pain and blister formation. Even though laser technology is refined, the chance of scarring is always present with multiple treatments.
