Laser Tattoo Removal Chicago

Many people have second thoughts about their tattoos. Fortunately, you don't have to live with your decision forever. Highly precise lasers can lighten or remove your tattoo by focusing or pulsing light on the ink particles, which then convert the energy to heat and break up into tiny pieces that are absorbed harmlessly by the body. All this can be accomplished without damaging the surrounding tissue.

How it Works

Lasers produce pulses of light that pass through the top layers of the skin to be absorbed by the tattoo pigment. This energy causes this pigment to fragment into smaller particles that are then removed by the body's immune system. Laser tattoo removal is a safe, non-invasive method that targets only the ink and does not affect the tissue surrounding the tattoo.

How many treatments does it take?

The number of treatments depends upon the tattoo itself. Generally, results can be seen within a few weeks, although larger and darker tattoos may require more treatments than smaller, lighter ones.
