The laser hits the tattoo area causing a reaction in the ink which breaks the particles into microscopic pieces. Your natural immune defence absorbs the pieces, causing the tattoo to simply fade away over a number of tratments. Some brighter colours don’t absorb the energy as well and take a little longer to break down, but in the majority of cases there is no trace of a tattoo after 5-20 sessions.
The ink used in your tattoo can slow the process. Some colours absorb the energy well and fade quicker and others break down slowly and therefore require more treatment sessions, but with patience and persistence the majority of customers can experience complete removal.
Does it hurt?
All clients have different tolerance levels when it comes to pain. Many clients compare the feeling to an elastic band being snapped against the area. It’s uncomfortable but easily managed by most people. The process is very quick.
Another main concern is about scarring. With all medical procedures involving the skin there is a chance of scarring, it all depends on ho the tattoo as done, the inks and the most imortant aftercare.
