Tattoo removal involves removing unwanted tattoos from the upper layers of the skin. Laser treatments break down tattoo pigments, allowing the body to clear them through its natural healing process. Q-switched lasers are commonly used for tattoo removal.
Laser treatment targets the color of the tattoo, leaving minimal damage to the skin. The procedure requires several sessions, with time for the skin to heal between each session. Treatment times vary depending on the color, depth, and size of the tattoo. Tattoo removal should be performed by a professional dermatologist.
