How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Let’s think about what a tattoo really is: A tattoo is pigment inserted through our epidermis or top layer of skin into different layers of the dermis. The different shades of pigment settle into the layers of our skin in a semi-liquid state with the intention of being permanent.
Thankfully with today’s technology, permanent can be a word of the past. So what do you do now that your reasons for getting your tattoo have changed, or maybe your tattoo has changed?
First, remind yourself that the desire to change is good.
Next, understand the process. By understanding the process and the advancements in technology you can ensure yourself that you make the best decision and receive quality results!
Lasers work by producing short pulses of intense light, which pass through our top layer of skin and are then selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink based on the chosen wavelength.
The laser does so without damaging the tissue surrounding it
We recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for tattoo removal. A variety of factors such as ink volume and depth, ink color and melanin rich skin tones all require an experienced clinic with the proper training for removal.
Different wavelengths are attracted by different ink pigments. The ink particles are fragmented by the light energy into smaller particles, which are then removed by your body’s immune system as waste.
We at Advanced Aesthetics Ink, through a thorough screening process, will evaluate your tattoo, its size and location, age and ink content along with your skin tone. These are some of the factors that affect the removal of your tattoo.
The last major factor that affects your tattoo removal is your lymphatic system. This is your body’s way of removing the ink once it has been treated by the appropriate wavelength.
We will come up with a treatment plan that suits your needs.
Advanced Aesthetics Ink utilizes only the best, state-of-the-art equipment on all our laser tattoo removal clients. This includes the Quanta Q-Plus C Laser and the Zimmer Cryo 6 Cooling System.
