So jazz up your life, if you have a tattoo that you want removed, then laser tattoo removal procedures can erase your tattoo with minimal side effects.

Laser Tattoo Procedure

Lasers have the capacity for removing tattoos by shattering the pigment colors of the tattoo with a high-intensity light beam. Black tattoo pigment soak up all laser wavelengths, making that color the simplest to remove. Other colors, like red, effectively soak up green laser light. There are numerous other colors that can only be treated by precise lasers based upon the pigment color.

Because each tattoo is distinctive, tattoo removal treatments must be designed to fit each individual case. In the past, numerous types of treatment options removed tattoos, but in most cases the scars looked worse than the tattoo itself.

If you attempted to have a tattoo removed in the past and didn't have much luck, you may also be candidates for laser therapy. Tattoos that have not been successfully removed by other techniques or through home remedies in some cases they respond better to laser therapy providing the prior treatments did not cause too much scarring.

During the removal process, your will be asked to wear protective eye shields, your skin's reaction to the laser will be tested to determine how much laser energy will be required. Your doctor will place a hand piece against the surface of your skin and will activate the laser night.

Generally, smaller tattoos will require fewer pulses while larger ones will require more. In either instance, small or big, you will require a few treatments and need to return for alternate visits to complete the laser tattoo removal.

After your laser tattoo procedure, an ice pack is placed on the area to comfort you. A topical antibiotic cream or ointment will be applied along with a bandage to protect the sight. You should keep the site covered to protect it from the sun when you are outdoors.
