Your personality and life experiences change over time, but your old tattoo will not. If you have outgrown your tattoo and feel ready to move on, you would probably like to remove it immediately. However, laser tattoo removal will require a series of treatments to remove most tattoos. While getting a tattoo takes a few hours, removing it may take months.Â
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Your tattoo ink stays in your skin because the pigment particles are too big for your body to remove. Laser tattoo removal with the Enlighten™ laser targets these pigments, which absorb the laser energy and shatter into smaller pieces. Your body’s white blood cells collect and remove these small pieces, fading the tattoo over time.
