Getting Rid Of Unwanted Tattoos
Laser Tattoo Removal- An Effective Method
It is a safe and effective method to remove tattoos from the body. The Q-switched laser is the best mode to remove tattoo inks from the body without pain and side effects. It is duly approved by the FDA and is a latest technology in lasers specifically designed to remove unwanted tattoos. This technology is far better than the excision, dermabrasion and chemical removal of tattoo from the body. These methods have gone obsolete as they were very painful and were accompanied by side effects as well.
The Q-switched laser removes the tattoo by emitting light at an extremely high energy. This high energy light breaks the tattoo into small particles thus, making it easy for the natural immune system of the body to discharge tiny particles. It takes more than a couple of weeks for the body to discharge these tiny particles out of the body, once the ink of the tattoo is broken down. However, you need to sit down for multiple sessions to remove the tattoo permanently. This is imperative for effective removal of the tattoo from the body.
The laser tattoo removal should only be undergone under the aegis of a medical practitioner. The following process is involved in removing the tattoo:
- The first step is to cover the eyes of the patient with defensive eye cover shield.
- The second step is to determine the skin reaction of the laser so that an optimal energy is applied to remove the tattoo from the body.
- Thirdly, the doctor places the device on the skin's surface and the laser light is turned on. The high energy light starts working with the ink of the tattoo, breaking it down into small particles.
- Lastly and an important one is that the treated area should be applied with an ice pack. This will soothe the treated skin. An ointment or an antibiotic cream should be applied to the area and covered with bandage to protect it from dirt.
The time taken to remove the tattoo depends on the type of ink used and the size of the tattoo. It may take as much as 15 minutes to remove a single colored small tattoo to an hour to remove a large one. The Q-switched laser tattoo removal method is the safest option available in the market.
