People often want to get rid of their tattoos which they once cherished. Sometimes, the reason could be a lost friendship or a tattoo that was the result of a wrong decision or just that over time you grew out of it. Whatever the reason, you can now get rid of your tattoo permanently with laser tattoo removal. At our Clinic we employ highly advanced technology and removal methods that are well-tested and accepted worldwide and has rate of success. All our procedures are conducted in safe, clean and sterile environment.

Procedure

Laser tattoo removal is done by successful implementation of selective photothermolysis (SPTL). Laser beams disintegrate the tattoo ink particles and are gradually absorbed by the body and removed through body’s natural elimination process. The breakdown of the ink particles occurs when laser lights with a wavelength that falls within the absorption spectrum of the ink pigments are targeted.

The ink particles absorb energy from the laser beams within nanoseconds. The temperature of the ink particles rise to thousands of degrees, but this does not affect the skin tissues as this absorbed energy instantly transforms to a Shockwave. This Shockwave causes the brittle ink pigments to fragment.

Can all tattoos be removed easily?

While dark ink pigments such as deeper blues and blacks can be dealt with easily, lighter colours like fluorescent, yellows and greens are more stubborn. Also, pastel hues with high titanium dioxide content are difficult to remove.

How many sittings are required?

Complete tattoo removal will require several sessions which are spaced at least four weeks. It is not possible to fragment all the ink particles in one session and the body also takes weeks to eliminate the fragmented pigments. The larger pigments are then targeted in the subsequent sittings. The tattoo doesn’t disappear all of a sudden, but fades through the sessions. The number of sittings depends on the area of treatment, colour of the skin and many more factors.
