What is laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal is the most modern and effective method for the gradual elimination of unwanted tattoos with precision and safety. The technique is based on selective photothermolysis, meaning the pigments in the tattoo are broken down using pulses of laser light. These pigments are fragmented into microscopic particles, which are then absorbed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
The result is gradual fading of the tattooed area, without the need for invasive procedures, scarring, or skin damage. This method can be applied to all areas of the body and is effective on most types of tattoos: professional, amateur, or even medical/traumatic (e.g., pigments from injuries).
How is the procedure performed?
Tattoo removal is carried out using specialized Q-switched or Pico lasers, which emit light pulses of extremely short duration (nanoseconds or picoseconds).
Procedure steps:
- Tattoo assessment: We determine the tattoo’s color, depth, type of ink, and age. The skin type is also evaluated.
- Skin preparation: The area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic cream may be applied.
- Laser application: The laser targets the pigment at a specific depth. The energy is absorbed by the ink, breaking it apart thermally.
- Post-treatment care: Soothing products and antibiotic ointments (if necessary) are used. Sun exposure must be avoided.
Post-treatment care: Use of soothing products and antibiotic ointment if needed. Sun exposure is prohibited.
Session duration:
From 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
What factors affect effectiveness?
Effectiveness depends on:
- Color: Dark pigments (black, blue) are removed more easily. Lighter colors (yellow, green) are more resistant.
- Depth and density: Professional tattoos require more sessions than amateur ones.
- Skin type: Lighter skin types have a lower risk of hyperpigmentation.
- Age of tattoo: Older tattoos respond better to treatment.
- Body location: Circulation and skin thickness influence removal speed.
Advantages of laser removal:
- Non-invasive technique: No incisions or scalpels, minimizing the risk of scarring.
- High precision: The laser targets only the pigment, sparing healthy tissue.
- Safety: Suitable for both face and body with minimal side effects.
- Gentle fading: Results appear gradually and naturally.
- Full or partial removal: Also suitable for modifying a tattoo before cover-up.
- Applicable to all skin types: With proper parameter adjustments.
