Clinical Mechanism & Overview
Laser Tattoo Removal uses short, high-energy laser pulses to fragment tattoo pigment particles so the body can gradually clear them. Session count depends on tattoo age, color, depth, ink density, location, and skin type.
Types Of Laser Tattoo Removal
Different approaches may be selected depending on your skin concern, treatment goal, and dermatologist assessment.
Black Ink Tattoo Removal: Targets black tattoo pigment, which usually responds best to laser fading.
Colored Tattoo Fading: Selected colored inks may be treated with adjusted settings and realistic expectations.
Patch-Tested Tattoo Plan: A cautious plan may begin with test spots for sensitive skin or complex tattoos.
