Laser tattoo removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to break down the pigments within a tattoo, allowing the bodies natural processes to gradually eliminate the pigment. The laser emits high-intensity light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the tattoo ink. This process helps to fragment the ink particles into smaller pieces, making it easier for the bodies immune system to carry them away.

Advances in laser technology make the Hollywood spectra suitable for all skin tones. However, individuals with darker skin may be at a higher risk of pigmentation changes, so care is taken to ensure hypopigmenation and hyperpigmentation does not occur.
Black ink is usually the most responsive to the laser, and is always the first to fade out. While certain vibrant colors require more sessions, or different hand pieces. This can be discussed during your tailored consultation.
