Tattoo Removal
Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal is very common in the western society and in the east, it is gaining traction amongst the younger population. While having a tattoo created may only take a few hours to a few days, having it removed is a very different story. Hence, we strongly urge one not to have a tattoo of the partner’s face unless there is a lifetime guarantee on the relationship.
Laser of different wavelengths target different tattoo ink colours. The duration and outcome of the treatment depend on the ink colour, depth and concentration of the tattoo ink and skin type. An old or amateur tattoo may only need 4 to 5 sessions while new or professional tattoo may need 6 or more sessions at interval of 4 to 8 weeks. The reason behind the long treatment interval is because the macrophages or scavenging cells need time to get rid of the fragmented tattoo ink particles from our system. Prior to the ink removal process by the macrophages, the laser delivers ultra high energy at ultra short duration specifically to the tattoo ink. This unique photoacoustic vibration shatters the tattoo ink into tiny particles for easy removal without harming the adjacent structures. Come on over if you are curious to know more.
