Laser Tattoo Removal Technology
If you have a tattoo, which is now causing you trouble due to a new lifestyle or personality, then you may be thinking of having it removed. Since tattoo are said to be permanent, you cannot just get rid of it by yourself. You have to undergo specific tattoo removal methods just to remove that ink from your skin. However, the most modern advancement in removing tattoo is through Laser. Laser tattoo removal has been popular because of its advantages although it may cost more compared to other tattoo removal methods.
How lasers remove the ink
 The powerful rays of light emitted from laser break through the second layer of our skin (dermis). This is then absorbed by the embedded tattoo ink, which explodes and shatters into tiny particles. Then for a couple of weeks, our immune system will carry away these tiny particles. Additionally, the laser will kill the cells with tattoo ink, which will then be naturally removed from our body. Some ink may not be removed easily by one Laser session. Even a very small tattoo may entail multiple laser sessions.
Tattoo ink and laser light
Since lasers uses light to breakdown the ink on a tattooed area, the result may vary depending on the color used on the tattoo. The reason behind this is that a color can only absorb a specific wavelength of light. Thus, a tattoo color that absorbs more light can easily be removed. And the easiest color that can be removed is black because it can absorb any wavelength of light. However, a red light can only be absorbed by blue and green tattoos which can be challenging for a professional that administer the laser treatment. The same case with red, orange and purple colors because they can only destroyed by a green light. And the most challenging color to remove is yellow because it causes a reflection of the light instead of absorbing it.
Different types of Laser treatments have been created to addresses these problems. These are the Ruby laser, Alexandrite lasers, Nd:YAG-Invisible and Nd:YAG-Green. You can seek the help from a doctor to determine which of these laser methods can help you in easily removing your tattoo.
