Tattoo Removal
About the process: Lasers work to remove tattoos by breaking up the larger ink particles into pieces small enough for white blood cells to absorb them. To break up an ink particle, you need to heat it to make it expand due to thermal expansion, but the zap has to be quick enough so that half of the particle remains cool. The opposing cool and hot forces then separate the ink particles into smaller pieces.
Once the lasers break the ink particles apart into small enough pieces, the white blood cells can absorb them for transportation to the liver and elimination.

The tattoo process deposits ink in the dermis,
which is the inner layer of skin. Tattoo removal lasers operate in a very narrow frequency and are very fast. This speed and heat are crucial to cracking the ink particles efficiently and uniformly.
Once your white blood cells get to work, the ink begins to fade week by week. There is a 6 -8 week break in between each removal session. Drinking water and working out can help assist your body to eliminate the ink.
For black ink, the removal process can typically take 4-6 sessions depending on the depth of the ink. Tattoos with color can take up 12 sessions for complete removal.
