Laser Tattoo Removal

(Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation)

Today, laser tattoo removal is the most talked about tattoo removal method.  A simple explanation of how the method of laser tattoo removal works is a laser beam of light penetrates the skin to target the tattoo ink deeply embedded in the skin’s layers.

Lasers were first introduced as a method of tattoo removal nearly 20 years ago. And although, tattoo ink lies deep between the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, prior to lasers the only tattoo removal methods available were techniques performed on the outer surface of the skin.

The new method of laser tattoo removal introduced an approach with minimal health risks, which was a significant improvement to the “old school” surgical tattoo removal methods.  

Despite the physical discomfort during laser treatments, and typical skin blistering post laser removal treatments, these are nothing in comparison to the pain and high risk of infection of traditional tattoo removal methods, which aggressively sand off the layers of tattoo inked skin, or simply cut out the tattoo skin area trading the unwanted ink for a scar.

Not only has laser tattoo removal drastically improved the experience of the tattoo removal process in the last decade, it has also set the stage for new development of innovative tattoo removal methods such as tattoo fade creams and in home tattoo removal products for fading or removing unwanted tattoo designs.
