What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Lasers tattoo removal is a procedure to remove an unwanted tattoo by removing the permanent ink from the skin which has been used to create the tattoo. Normally, our immune system works to remove any foreign particle from the body; but the ink particles used in permanent tattooing are too big for the immune system to remove, thus making them permanent.

Lasers are focused beams of light when directed on the tattoo, heats up the ink particles to break them down into smaller particles which are easily removed by the immune system.
