Getting a tattoo can be exciting, but many people later wish to remove or lighten it due to lifestyle changes, job requirements, poor tattoo quality, or personal preferences. Laser Tattoo Removal is the safest and most effective method to completely or partially remove unwanted tattoos without damaging the skin.
At Skin Esthetics Clinic Islamabad, advanced laser systems such as Q-Switched and Pico Laser technology are used to break down tattoo pigments safely, offering excellent results with minimal discomfort.
What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light pulses to break tattoo ink into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system over time. Different wavelengths are used to target different ink colors, making laser removal effective for all tattoo types.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
- The laser emits short bursts of light energy.
- The pigment absorbs the light and breaks into microscopic fragments.
- The body gradually flushes out these fragments through natural metabolic processes.
- With each session, the tattoo fades significantly until it disappears.
