Tattoo Removal
- Tattoo removal refers to the process of eliminating or fading a tattoo from the skin using various techniques. The goal is to either completely remove the ink or reduce its visibility significantly, depending on the person's preference. This includes eyebrow tattoo removal as well. Procedure:
- Laser Energy: The laser delivers short, intense pulses of light that are absorbed by the tattoo ink. Different types of lasers (typically Q-switched lasers) are used based on the color of the ink and the depth of the tattoo.
- Ink Breakdown: The energy from the laser shatters the ink into smaller particles that are small enough for the body to process and eliminate naturally.
- Selective Targeting: The laser targets the ink without damaging the surrounding skin. Each laser wavelength targets specific colors of tattoo ink (for example, Nd:YAG lasers are often used for dark tattoos, and alexandrite lasers for lighter tattoos).
