Sorry about the tattoo, or want a new beginning? TattooErase is a high-intensity, non-invasive method of removal of unwanted ink. The treatment also removes tattoo pigments by using advanced laser technology. This punctures deep into the skin and smashes them into small particles.
In this article, we’ll explain how laser tattoo removal works. Why it’s effective and what you can expect during the process.

The Science Behind Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal works by using pulses of laser light. It penetrates your skin and targets the ink particles in the tattoo. The laser energy heats and shatters the pigment into tiny fragments. And your body’s immune system then naturally eliminates it over time.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

  1. Laser Targeting: Different laser wavelengths are used depending on the colour of the ink. Darker inks like black and blue absorb more laser energy, making them easier to remove. While lighter colours like yellow and green may require more sessions.
  2. Ink Fragmentation: The laser vapourises the ink particles and breaks them into smaller particles.
  3. Natural Elimination: Once the ink is fragmented, your body gradually removes the particles through its natural healing processes. This takes place over several weeks, which is why multiple treatment sessions are necessary to completely remove a tattoo.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

The number of sessions required for laser tattoo removal depends on various factors:

On average, most tattoos require 6 to 10 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve the best results.

Why Laser Tattoo Removal is Safe and Effective

Laser tattoo removal is considered the most effective and safest method to get rid of unwanted tattoos. Here are some key benefits:

What to Expect During and After Treatment

The expert adjusts the laser to the colour, size and area of your tattoo. As the laser is operating, one might feel a snapping or stinging sensation, as though a rubber band has grazed your skin. The standard length of a session is a few minutes, and it is subject to the complexity of the tattoo. Also the area treated may be red or swollen immediately after treatment; this also should wear off in a day or two. The practitioners normally put some soothing ointment and bandage the skin.

The area could be tender after the treatment and feel a bit bumpy afterwards. You must also adhere to aftercare guidelines given by your technician, including not being exposed to the sun or not letting the area get dirty, so the process of healing occurs properly.
