Tattoo removal
There are several methods for tattoo removal which have proven successful. In most cases, however, some scarring or color variations remain. The conspicuousness of the blemishes depends upon several factors including size, location, how the tattoo was applied, and length of time it has been on the skin. A tattoo performed by a more experienced tattoo artist, for example, may be easier to remove since the pigment is evenly injected in the same level of the skin. A tattoo that has been on the skin for a considerable length of time may be more difficult to remove than a new one.
Advances in recent laser technology suggest that both the Q- Switched YAG and Alexandrite lasers used in conjunction offer the most complete tattoo removal service These pigment specific lasers fade or remove tattoo ink with the energy of light. The laser removes the ink by using a specific color of light that passes through normal skin and is absorbed by the ink without damaging surrounding tissues. The rapid absorption of this light energy causes ink pigment to break into smaller granules so it can be removed by the body's natural filtering systems. The number of treatments will depend on the amount, color and type of ink, the depth of ink into the skin and the method, and age of tattoo application.
