What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal involves using an intense beam of light to break up the ink particles in a tattoo. The laser targets the pigment in the skin and breaks it down into smaller particles that can be flushed out by the body’s natural processes.
At His Hands Family Practice LLC, we use the Harmony XL Pro laser system for tattoo removal. This advanced technology allows for precise targeting of the ink particles, resulting in faster and more effective removal.
How Does Laser Tattoo Work?
During a laser tattoo removal session, our trained professionals will first clean the area to be treated and apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. The laser is then used to target the ink particles in the skin, breaking them down into smaller pieces.
Over time, as the body's immune system recognizes these broken down particles as foreign substances, it works to naturally flush them out of the body. Multiple sessions may be needed for complete removal depending on the size, color, and location of the tattoo.
