Laser Tattoo Removal

Deciding to remove an old tattoo can be a very necessary step towards progress, and when you decide to move forward, we have the best methods to do it. Laser tattoo removal is a medical procedure where lasers are used to remove impressions that you no longer want. 

The laser tattoo removal procedure removes the tattoo ink from your body permanently. Many tattoos are removed without any signs and some of them fade enough that they do not appear visible anymore. 

Various methods to remove tattoos

Tattoos may be diminished effectively by various methods using the most advanced techniques available. The extent of tattoo removal will depend upon the type, age, colour, size and location of the tattoo.

These days, different techniques, such as dermabrasion, laser surgery and surgical removal are used to get rid of tattoos. Some tattoos may be more eminent and harder to remove than others. Let us look at what each method does and how they are carried out. 

• Dermabrasion:

1. The process involves gently removing the superficial layers of the skin.
2. It works similar to a deep exfoliation treatment.
3. Dermabrasion is a medically controlled sanding of the skin.
4. Your dermatologist will carry out the procedure under local anaesthesia.
5. A device that rotates at a high speed is used to file the top layers of the skin.
6. This process removes the ink that is embedded into the layers of the skin.
7. Eventually, the body will flush out the ink within a few weeks.
8. It is an invasive procedure that may damage the skin and is not a great choice for tattoo removal.

• Surgical excision:

1. In this procedure, your doctor will use a sharp instrument to cut through the skin where the tattoo is.
2. The adjacent skin is also included in the incision and then the layers of the skin will be stitched back together. 
3. Surgical excision, when used, is effective for smaller tattoos.
4. Nowadays, there are many non-invasive alternatives available that offer great results and there is no need for you to go under the knife anymore. 

• Laser tattoo removal:

2. A laser is a device that produces a narrow beam of radiation that focuses on the treatment area and has been used medically for various conditions. 
3. Laser tattoo removal uses pulses of high energy and high-intensity beams to expose the tattoo to radiation.
4. Tattoo ink is composed of various colours. When a tattoo is exposed to the laser energy, the ink particles that are concentrated, shatter into very small particles. 
5. The disintegrated ink particles are metabolised and then processed for excretion by the body’s natural mechanisms.
6. Your body’s natural immune system will flush out the removed ink through the lymphatic organs. 
7. Certain colours are very challenging to remove completely, while some others are relatively easy.
8. White, black and blue colours go off easier than green, red or yellow.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

• The technique works on the principle of selective photothermolysis.
• Photothermolysis is a process in which a specific wavelength of light is focussed to the skin and heats the tissue. The ink absorbs the light and disintegrates into tiny particles, small enough to be flushed out by the body.
• With multiple sessions, the effects of photothermolysis penetrate the deeper layers to remove the embedded ink.
