How does Tattoo removal work?
The laser emits a focused beam of light which passes harmlessly through the outer layer of skin and is absorbed primarily by the Tattoo ink. The light is converted into heat which breaks the ink into tiny particles. The ink fragments are carried away by the body's lymphatic system. The Tattoo will then fade over a series of treatments.
