Tattoo removal FAQ

The color pigments enclosed in the skin are bombarded with high-energy, bundled, extremely short (picosecond = 0.000 000 000 001s) light pulses.

The light pulse with its different wavelength ranges is specially adjusted to the tattoo color to be removed so that the color pigment absorbs the light and is broken up. After the treatment, it is identified as a foreign body by the immune system, absorbed with the help of white blood cells and then transported away via the lymphatic system or excreted from the body.

During this process, the unaffected skin cells and the surrounding tissue remain intact. Treatment with the laser can sometimes cause pain. Depending on how you feel, the results vary greatly. As a rule, the pain of treatment is equated with tattooing or the flicking of a rubber band on the skin. The pain is reduced by cooling the area to be treated.
