Tattoos
Although currently a popular form of artistic expression, tattoos, when embedded into the second layer of skin, become permanent. Yet, one’s beliefs and attitudes may change over time leading many individuals to want their tattoos removed at a later date. Tattoos come in all shapes and sizes and the number of treatment sessions to remove a tattoo depends on the size, location, depth and colour of the tattoo.
Professional tattoos usually require more sessions than amateur tattoos because of the complexity of the colours in the ink, the type of ink used and the depth at which the ink penetrates the skin. It is necessary to have more than one type of laser to treat a broad range of colours in a tattoo. At Cosmedica, we have three different tattoo removal lasers to match the particular type of tattoo and optimize clearance.
