What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser Tattoo Removal is a specialized dermatological procedure that uses high-intensity laser beams to break down the ink particles in tattoos. Over time, the body's natural immune system clears these particles, gradually fading the tattoo. Unlike traditional methods such as dermabrasion or excision, laser treatment is more precise, safe, and has minimal risk of scarring.
What's Included
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
- Targeting the Ink with Laser Light: Pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the tattoo ink.
- Ink Particle Breakdown: Laser energy breaks ink into tiny fragments.
- Body's Natural Clearance: Immune system removes the particles through the lymphatic system.
- Repeat Treatments: Sessions are spaced 4–8 weeks apart for healing and effectiveness.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- People with unwanted or outdated tattoos
- Those preparing for cover-ups
- Patients with tattoo regret
- Most body locations
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with active skin infections

- Tattoo Depth & Quality: Professional tattoos may have deeper ink and take longer to remove.
- Skin Type: Darker skin requires caution to avoid pigmentation issues.
- Tattoo Age: Older tattoos may fade faster.
- Location: Tattoos near the heart (chest/arms) clear faster due to better circulation.
Side Effects & Risks
