Tattoo Removal Treatment

A) What is a Tattoo removal treatment ?

Tattoo removal treatment is a medical procedure that involves the use of various techniques to remove unwanted tattoos from the skin. Tattoos are created by injecting ink into the dermis layer of the skin, which makes them permanent. There are diverse methods used for tattoo removal treatment which can be summed up as under:

• Laser removal: This is the most common method of tattoo removal. It involves using a laser to target the ink particles in the skin and break them down into smaller particles that can be absorbed by the body.
  Q-Switched ND YAG laser treatment is a popular method of tattoo removal at Springs Clinic that uses a high intensity laser to break down the ink particles in the skin. The laser emits short pulses of light that are absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to break down into smaller particles that can be absorbed by the body. The Q-Switched ND YAG laser is particularly effective at removing dark colored tattoos such as black,blue and green ink which can be difficult to remove with other methods.
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) removal: This method uses intense pulsed light to break down the ink particles in the skin. It is similar to laser, but uses a broad spectrum of light instead of a single wavelength.
• Surgical removal: This method involves surgically removing the tattooed skin and stitching the remaining skin back together.
• Chemical peels: This method involves applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes the top layer of skin to peel off, taking the tattoo ink with it.
