Laser Tattoo Removal

What is
Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser is high intensity light of a particular wavelength in the infrared spectrum (invisible light).Tattoo removal is done with help of a specific laser which emits two wavelengths which can selectively target tattoo ink particles while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.

Tattoo ink particles absorb laser energy, heat up and get shattered into smaller ink particles. The Ink particles are flushed away by the body thereby fading away after multiple sessions.

The medical laser that best works towards tattoo removal are ND –Yag lasers with either nanosecond or picosecond switching technology. A picosecond ND-Yag Laser has the best safety profile and does not cause any adverse effects to treatment like scarring, or change in the texture of the skin, or pigmentation-related issues.

There are also other medical lasers that are used for tattoo removal like ruby lasers and alexandrite lasers. Each of these lasers has different abilities and different safety profiles.

Know More About
Laser Tattoo Removal

During a tattoo removal treatment, the area to be treated is cleaned and disinfected before the treatment and the doctor starts exposing the tattoo in question to various wavelengths and intensity of the laser. Depending on the colors used and the complexity of the tattoo, a doctor may undertake several passes of the laser on the tattoo. The process can be classified as mildly painful but one which most individuals can withstand. If you find the pain unbearable, the doctor may choose to use a numbing cream.

The immediate end result of the treatment is that the area looks whitish in color, almost devoid of any pigment and also it feels raised and inflamed. But over the next hour, the inflammation goes down and also the tattoo is visible again. The dermatologist may advise some anti-inflammatory topical application and some medications to allow for faster recovery of the inflammation.

  • Do not be out in the sun for long durations. Avoid direct sun exposure where possible.
  • Do not use a face wash or soap on face for 24 hours after the procedure.
  • Apply only sunscreen and moisturizers for two days.
  • Avoid any other form of salon procedures like facials, skin bleaching etc. on the treated area for a week after your procedure.
  • The treated area will get red and swollen from 24 to 48 hours.
  • In case there are any scabs formed, do not scratch them, pick on them or scrub them. The scabs will fall off within 3 days and skin will be back to normal in a week’s time.
  • Apply the prescribed ointment or cream for 2 days, as directed by the doctor.
  • Ensure that medications are taken as prescribed by the doctor.
  • Wear loose clothing over the treatment area for 2 days so that there is no chafing of skin.

Immediately after the procedure it may look as if the tattoo has gone away completely and skin is blanched and raised. But as the inflammation settles the tattoo becomes visible again.

For seeing visible lightening of tattoo, one must expect it to take a minimum of 4 sessions. And to expect the tattoo to go away completely one should expect that it may take anywhere between 8 and 16 sessions based on the complexity and colours used in the tattoo.

Working Principle Of
Laser Tattoo Removal

The inks used for making permanent tattoos have a very high affinity for the skin and tend to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and hence can never be removed by a process that works only on the surface.

A laser has the ability to penetrate the human skin into its deeper layer and always has a higher affinity for tattoo ink than the skin. Hence when the laser hits the ink it dissipates all its energy into the tattoo ink and breaks down the ink particles into microscopic fragments, these fragments are then carried away by the body’s lymphatic system and are excreted out over the next few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser tattoo removal works on the principle of the laser being attracted to the tattoo pigment rather than the skin, which means that the darker the pigment the better and easier is the removal with a laser. So when choosing a tattoo keep the below in mind

Black – Easy to Remove

Dark Green and Dark Blue – A little difficult to remove

Red & Orange – Difficult to remove

Yellow – Extremely difficult to remove

While the Tattoo Removal Process is gradual and the pigment removal improves with every session, once the pigment is removed the same is permanent.

The procedure is mildly painful as the laser needs to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin to target the ink pigment. However the pain is reduced substantially by using a numbing cream before the procedure on the area to be treated.

Based on the colours used, the site of the tattoo and the complexity of the tattoo, one can need anywhere between 8 and 16 sessions to get rid of a tattoo completely.

There may be inflammation of the treated area for a upto 24 hours. Dr. Sejal prescribes oral anti inflammatories along with topical anti inflammation cream to reduce this so that one can return back to routine activities as early as possible.

Based on the size and number of colours of the tattoo, a single session can take anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours.

Unfortunately there are no other known mechanisms for removing permanent tattoos. Using any at home mechanisms like trying to burn the tattoo or using chemical agents on the skin can seriously injure and scar the skin and also cause infections.

No. Laser tattoo removal works on the principle of the laser destroying only the ink pigment while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Hence there is no chance of scarring.
