Laser tattoo removal can be performed with different types of energy functioning at distinct wavelengths, from near-infrared radiation to visible light. This diversity of laser beams is justified by the very demanding operation of tattoo removal particularly in the case of very colored tattoos. A combination of two or more tattoos can thus be used during the same procedure. Besides wavelength, light pulse duration has a serious importance for the safety of the removal. The longer the exposure to the laser beam, which translates into a longer pulse duration, the higher the incidence of acute punctuate bleeding.

Laser tattoo removal can be very painful and traumatic for the tissues particularly when the tattoo removal process requires repeated treatment sessions. Serious adverse reactions have been reported in association with very large tattoos designed in a multitude of colors. The medical practitioner has to adjust the spot size of the laser light depending on how deep the ink lies in the skin. The treatment ends faster when large width laser beams are used. Nevertheless, this means that more skin is exposed to the action of the light particularly if there is a higher repetition rate.

It is also very natural to question and doubt the efficiency of laser tattoo removal. And there is no firm answer that will shed away doubt. Besides the technical properties of the equipment, the individual factors have a very important influence on the rate of success, which means that without a good immune function, you’ll have troubles eliminating the ink in the skin. A healthy lifestyle, a good health condition, proper night rest and hydration represent side factors that play a role in tattoo removal. Normally, health investigations are required before starting laser tattoos removal, and patients with immune system problems will not be treated.

As for the skin look after laser tattoo removal, there will be a white discoloration of the tissues and a slight inflammation. Punctuate bleeding could also appear occasionally. While the white color is the result of gas or steam formation in the skin, the pinpoint bleeding represents the consequence of the laser light acting on the tattoo pigment. This is usually a sign of injury. The skin around the tattoo may also be inflated but such side effects have low intensity of manifestation. A crust will appear during the next 14 days after the laser tattoo removal, and the color will begin to fade over the next two months.
