Laser tattoo removal is a specialized procedure that uses high-intensity laser beams to break down the pigment colors of a tattoo into smaller particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body's immune system.

The type of laser used depends on the colors of the tattoo, with different wavelengths targeting specific pigments. Darker colors like black and blue respond well to laser treatment, while lighter colors such as yellow and green may require additional sessions or different laser wavelengths for effective removal.

The procedure is generally performed over multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and for maximum fading of the tattoo. While laser tattoo removal can significantly lighten or completely remove tattoos, complete removal may not always be possible, and the process can cause temporary discomfort and minor side effects such as redness and blistering. Consulting with a qualified dermatologist or laser specialist is crucial to assess the tattoo and develop a personalized treatment plan for safe and effective removal.
