Laser tattoo removal is a process
When removing a tattoo using the laser method, the ink is broken down into small particles which the body’s immune system can remove with time. The laser method usually focuses on the ink tattoo only and not the surrounding skin. After the light has broken down the ink, the body now starts to work on the remaining ink. It might take a while before the tattoo is completely faded. Different tattoos often require a different number of treatments. When using laser treatment, it is recommended to space the sessions at least 6 to 8 weeks to allow for the fading to occur.
After a maximum of 8 visits or after a period of 8 months you will realize that your tattoo is faded or might not even be there. However, 4 treatments are recommended as too much of them may cause injury to the skin. There are some things to avoid during the treatment process and they include smoking, sun, and alcohol.
