Removal of tattoos and permanent makeup

Tattoos and permanent makeup are common these days. As a result, the need to correct, erase or change faded, blurred or failed tattoos and makeup lines is also increasing. In such cases, the help of a qualified specialist and the most effective technologies is required.

Tattoo and permanent makeup removal is performed by a dermatologist using laser therapy as the most effective method. The laser acts on the pigments of the tattoo or permanent makeup with a high-intensity light pulse, splitting them into finer particles, which are gradually removed from the body.

The type of laser used depends on the pigment of the tattoo. The black pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, which makes the removal of such a tattoo easier. On the other hand, other pigments react only with specific wavelengths, so removing colored tattoos is more time-consuming, but not impossible.

Regardless of the color or size, the removal of the tattoo takes place in the form of a course - once in one and a half or two months and can last up to a year.

How is tattoo removal done?

During the laser procedures, the client and the dermatologist use protective glasses. Since the removal of tattoos causes some discomfort, before the procedure, a pain-relieving gel is applied to the treated area, which reduces the unpleasant sensations. During the procedure, the laser pulse through the skin acts directly on the pigment, without affecting the surrounding tissue. After the procedure, a care product and a bandage are applied to the treated area, the dermatologist explains the future care of the tattoo.
