Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser Tattoo Removal has become the most popular and successful method in which to lighten or remove an unwanted tattoo. The laser targets the ink creating trauma to the area with pulses of highly concentrated light. The body sends the white blood cells to the site of treatment and they break the ink into tiny fragments, which are then cleared away by your own immune system.

The process involved in laser tattoo removal and/or lightening a tattoo for cover up purposes takes multiple treatments. There is not a definitive answer as to how many sessions it will take to get the desired results but with each treatment you will see your tattoo lighten. This is due to a variety of factors, the pigments used in the tattoo, your body chemistry and the way the tattoo was applied. Black generally is the easiest color to remove.

To remove any given tattoo it would require a treatment every 6-8 weeks for about a year. It can take anywhere from approximately 6 - 12 laser treatments to remove at tattoo.
