Laser tattoo removal is a safe, non-invasive procedure that removes tattoos from the skin using a high-powered laser. The laser passes through the skin layers and causes the ink to vibrate. This causes the ink particles to break into smaller pieces, without harming the surrounding areas. These tiny fragments are absorbed by the body and disposed by the immune system as waste.

These side effects are only temporary. It is important to always follow the doctor’s instructions after your tattoo removal procedure for the side effects to subside faster.
PicoSure and PicoWay are two of the most advanced laser innovations used for tattoo removal. These ultra-fast lasers emit ultra-short pulses which help avoid thermal damage and unwanted side effects like scarring. These laser technologies can remove a broader range of colors and offer fewer treatment sessions.
RevLite is one of the most flexible laser technologies for tattoo removal. It has four different wavelengths and generates rapid, short pulses of energy, causing vibration that shatters the ink into smaller particles. RevLite also limit heat exposure to the skin which makes the treatment faster, safer and with no downtime.

People have different pain thresholds, thus, the level of pain experienced during a tattoo removal varies. There are also areas that are more sensitive than other body parts such as areas with less fat, thin skin, and near a bone.
Scarring is not common with this procedure especially when you properly follow the instructions before, during and after the session. If your skin already has an existing scar before the procedure, it remains even after tattoo removal.
Laser tattoo removal is a generally safe procedure if done by a qualified medical professional.
A single session may last from 5 minutes to 1 hour depending on the complexity, size and color of your tattoo. For individuals with large tattoos, the area is divided into smaller patches in different sessions.
The number of sessions you will need depends on the size, color, location, type of ink and age of your tattoo, as well your skin type and complexion.
There are tattoos that are more challenging to remove compared to others. In some cases, a tattoo may not be completely removed with laser treatments. However, repeated sessions will considerably fade your tattoo, making them less visible.
