Tattoo Removal Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

What is tattoo removal?

When you get a tattoo, the tatto inks are held with the skin cells. Tattoo removal is the varied methods of getting the cells to release the inks. In
most cases however the cells containing the inks are destroyed and replaced with new cells that do not contain ink.

Laser Tattoo Removal - A laser is used to isolate and break up cells containing inks. Afterwards scavenger cells remove the impacted cells. The
process works differently depending on the colors of the inks and how they were mixed. Black inks will respond to most frequencies used in laser
tattoo removal. Other colors may not and therefore require more sessions or different frequencies to break up the cells containing inks.

Dermabrasion Tattoo Removal - Dermabrasion involves the process of shaving away the top layers of skin to remove the pigment and skin
effected and encourage new skin to grow. It can be done with sandpaper, caustic acids or salt - this is sometimes called salabrasion, or a rapidly
rotating brush. Local anesthetic is generally applied before the skin is abraded, and it may take several days to heal and feel better.

Depending on the exact method used there may be concerns of permanent scarring if the skin is not allowed to heal properly.
