Tattoo Removal
Rethinking that ink? If you’re not as in love with your tattoo as you once were, laser tattoo removal is generally safe. However, it’s important to make sure laser removal is done by a medical professional. With laser tattoo removal, there’s a risk of bleeding, infection, and scarring, all of which can be successfully treated, but only under the proper care of a medical doctor. Lasers remove tattoos by blowing up pigment molecules into tiny pieces, which are then cleared away by an immune system response. Sometimes, complete removal of a tattoo can take one or two years, with treatments occurring every 6, 8, or 12 weeks.
