About Laser Tattoo Removal

A tattoo — something that was once thought to be a permanent mark on the body — can now be removed with the help of a specialized laser. We now have the ability to remove unwanted tattoos and leave people with a clean slate.

There have been numerous methods used over time to remove tattoos, but laser tattoo removal is certainly considered the most safe and effective removal procedure currently available.

The laser works by delivering short, powerful pulses of energy to the tattoo, which shatters the ink particles. The body’s natural immune system then responds to the laser treatment by flushing away shattered ink over the course of a few weeks.
