Laser tattoo removal is one of the most effective ways to remove unwanted skin images. The technology was first applied in the 1960s using a carbon dioxide laser, which burned away the deeper layers of the skin, leaving visible scars. Since then, laser technologies have improved significantly, allowing excellent results to be achieved with minimal side effects.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The process of laser tattoo removal works as follows:

• Laser Beam Application: A special device directs the laser beam onto the skin.
• Pigment Destruction: The laser causes a thermal reaction in the skin layers, breaking down the pigment into micro-particles. These micro-particles are naturally removed from the body through the lymphatic system.
• Layered Fading: The pigment is faded in layers, which requires multiple sessions (with one session, the skin can become 10-15% lighter).

Sessions are typically carried out with an interval of at least one month to give the skin time to recover from the microscopic bruising.

Indications and Benefits

Laser tattoo removal is effective for:

• Removing cosmetic tattoos on the face
• Removing pigmentation spots and freckles
• Correcting failed or unwanted tattoos

The procedure causes almost no pain because the integrity of the skin is not affected. Usually, there is a slight tingling or burning sensation that lasts only 5-10 minutes. After the procedure, the skin may become slightly red and swollen, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days without any additional actions.

Contraindications

Despite its high effectiveness, laser tattoo removal has several contraindications:

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The procedure is not recommended during these periods.
• Sunburn: On tanned skin, the laser may be less effective.
• Recent Chemical Peels: Do not perform this within 2 weeks before the procedure.
• Medication Treatment: Some medications increase the skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
• Diabetes and Chronic Diseases: These conditions may affect the healing process.
• Inflammatory and Infectious Processes: Both in the body and on the skin.
• Blood Disorders and Oncology: Laser removal is contraindicated in these conditions.

Equipment and Qualification

It is important that the procedure is performed with specialized equipment. Devices that supposedly can remove both hair and tattoos usually do not offer the necessary effectiveness and may indicate a lack of expertise from the specialist.

The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal depends on the quality of the pigment and the size of the image. Professional tattoos usually disappear completely, while tattoos with regular inks often only become lighter.

Conclusion

Laser tattoo removal is a modern and safe method that effectively removes unwanted tattoos and pigmentation spots. For the best results and to ensure the safety of the procedure, it is important to consult a qualified specialist and use modern equipment.
