Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses a Q-switched laser device to break down the pigment colors of an unwanted tattoo while causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Laser tattoo removal often requires multiple laser sessions.
Alternatively, tattoo removal surgery removes the tattoo with one procedure but results in some scarring, is higher risk, and less common.
If you have an unwanted tattoo that makes you self-conscious or are unhappy with changes in your tattoo caused by the natural aging of your skin, tattoo removal may be right for you.
