The Laser Chronicles

People commonly ask, “What is the ‘whitening’ or ‘frosting’ on the surface of the skin produced during laser removal?” The answer:  As the tattoo pigments absorbs the laser energy it fractures the ink into smaller particles and releases heat into the surrounding dermis and epidermis. During this rapid, localized heating of these skin cells, steam or gas is produced creating the “crisp whitening” optical effect.

Normally the frosting disappears within the first 10-15 minutes as the body reabsorbs the gas bubbles

At the advice of my friend Erik aka the Lizardman, I will now start a blog about laser tattoo removal. I will try to keep it interesting and informative with lots of pretty photos and such…but for now you just get a little intro and a thank you to Erik:
