Most tattoos require 6–10 sessions, depending on ink color, depth, skin type, and tattoo age. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
Overview
Laser tattoo removal is the most advanced and effective method for safely fading and eliminating unwanted tattoos. Using cutting-edge PICO or Q-switched laser technology, it targets tattoo ink beneath the skin, breaking it into tiny particles that are gradually cleared by the body’s immune system. This treatment is suitable for a wide range of tattoo colors, sizes, and skin types.
How Does It Work?
- The laser delivers short, high-intensity pulses of light that are absorbed by the tattoo ink.
- This light energy causes the ink particles to shatter into microscopic fragments through a photoacoustic effect.
- The body’s lymphatic system then naturally removes these fragments over time.
- Multiple sessions are required, as different ink colors and depths respond at different rates.
- PICO lasers (picosecond technology) can often remove tattoos faster and with less discomfort than traditional nanosecond lasers.
