Tattoo Removal Techniques

Before the laser tattoo removal technique came into picture, there were two known methods.

The first is through dermabrasion. In this method the tattooed area, was subjected to sanding until colored ink was removed.

Another method used was skin grafting. A piece of skin was cut off from another area of your body. This piece of skin will be used to replace the tattooed skin.

Risks and Side Effects

The procedure itself is very painful, since the laser beam creates a lot of targeted heat. Even after the procedure, your skin will feel hot and swollen for a couple of days. However anaesthesia can minimise the pain. The pain and swelling will eventually ease up after a couple of days.

The skin that is subjected to the laser can lose some of its natural pigments and can turn pale.

There can be scarring in some cases if you pick on the treated area. This can be prevented by covering the area with bandages.
