How Do Laser Treatments Remove A Tattoo
Laser tattoo treatment works by sending intense pulses of light at the ink pigmented skin cells in the dermis. These skin cells absorb as much of the light energy as possible until they are destroyed or vaporized and broken up. The broken up particles are absorbed by the immune system and carried off into the lymph system where the body disposes of them.Laser treatments to remove a tattoo often result in several treatments since different ink colors absorb light differently. Blue and green ink is harder to remove and black and red colors are easier to remove. Older tattoo ink is often laced with metals, plastics, and other chemicals, which make tattoo removal more difficult. Modern inks are derived from friendlier sources and are easier to remove. However, it is difficult to remove a new tattoo.
