How does it work?
During tattoo removal treatment, laser is used to remove the tattoo by breaking down the pigments it contains.At first, the local anaesthesia is applied to numb the skin. Then the high pulse laser beam is applied on the target area. The black pigments in the tattoo absorb all the wavelength of the laser, allowing it to be removed easily.
Broken down pigments in the tattoo are considered as foreign bodies and naturally removed by the body’s defence mechanism.
