Removal - The Art / The Science / The Process

The science of laser tattoo removal is actually fairly straightforward. A beam of collimated light delivers energy into the skin, which is absorbed by the ink, causing it to fracture into smaller particles that are then carried off by the your body's lymphatic system.

The art behind the process is a bit more complex. There are numerous factors to take into account including an understanding of tattoos, skin types, healing and of course the different types of lasers and pain management techniques.

The process takes several treatments spaced six to eight weeks for best results. Yes, removal is a serious commitment, but the procedure is actually quite fast, with most treatments lasting less than five minutes.

Patience - We all want instant results but laser removal takes time and patience. Treatments are normally spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. However, the longer you wait the better the results.
