Tattoo Removal

Essence of the Laser Tattoo Removal Method

Laser tattoo and permanent makeup removal involves the controlled breakdown of pigment, which is subsequently carried away by the body's lymphatic system. At the heart of this method lies photothermolysis – the selective destruction of pigment without harming the surrounding tissues. This modern, safe approach can remove tattoos of any complexity, depth, color, as well as permanent makeup of eyes, lips, and eyebrows without the risk of residual scarring.

During the tattoo removal process, the ink particles are broken down into minute elements, capable of being transported and eliminated via the lymphatic system.

The picosecond laser is an innovative device that allows for superior tattoo and permanent makeup removal outcomes in a minimal number of sessions.

Advantages and Features of the Procedure

Among the benefits of laser tattoo and permanent makeup removal are:

• Minimally invasive method, resulting in no damage to the skin, scars, or keloids;
• Comfortable sensations during the procedure, eliminating the need for anesthetic application;
• Ability to remove tattoos and permanent makeup of any color and size;
• Minimal recovery time.

Description of the Procedure

The essence of the procedure lies in heating the pigment that constitutes the tattoo. The laser beam penetrates to a specified depth and targets the ink. As a result, the ink breaks down into unstable compounds, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

The procedure is carried out layer by layer: during a single session, a specific depth is treated. This means that one cannot get rid of a tattoo in just one session — on average, it will take 3-4 sessions.

The picolaser has several attachments. The doctor selects and uses them based on the tattoo's color. When removing tattoos with the Q-Switch system, the laser targets the ink pigment, ensuring no harm to the surrounding tissues.

Key advantages of tattoo removal using picolaser:

• A non-invasive method that doesn't affect the skin;
• No need for anesthesia, as the procedure is virtually painless;
• No scarring left post-removal.

Duration and Results

A single session lasts 20-30 minutes. To fully remove a large, colored tattoo, it may require 6-7 treatments. The gap between sessions ranges from 4 to 6 weeks.

A noticeable result can be seen after just one treatment. To completely remove the tattoo, it's essential to complete the full course of treatments. If you wish to replace the current tattoo with another one, inform the doctor. In some instances, the number of sessions can be reduced.
