Book An AppointmentHow Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective way to get rid of unwanted tattoos. Our skilled medical professionals use specialized lasers to break down the ink particles in your skin without harming the surrounding tissue.
The laser sends short pulses of intense light energy into your skin, targeting the pigment in your tattoo. The light energy is absorbed by the ink particles, which then shatter into tiny fragments. These small particles are then removed by your body's natural healing processes.
What to Expect
Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process and multiple sessions may be needed depending on the size, color, and complexity of your tattoo. During each session, you will feel a slight sting or snapping sensation as the laser passes over your skin. Some people may experience mild discomfort or redness after the treatment, but this usually goes away within a few hours.
It's important to follow our aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to avoid any complications. We also recommend avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen on the treated area.
