Tattoo Removal
Tattooing involves introducing a foreign material (dye) just in and under the layers of our skin. Tattoo removal has been performed with various tools since the start of tattooing. While tattoos are generally considered permanent, it is now possible to remove them with treatments, fully or partially. The "standard modality for tattoo removal" is the non-invasive removal of tattoo pigments using Q-switched lasers. Different types of Q-switched lasers are used to target different colours of tattoo ink depending on the specific light absorption spectra of the tattoo pigments.
Complications of Tattoos
In some people, tattoos can lead to infection
- If performed under unhygienic conditions
- Usage of poor-quality dye
- Usage of unsterile dye
- Usage of unsterile needle
- Poor technique usage
- Allergic Reaction – Body rejecting the dye
In these cases, the tattoo needs to be removed after the infection or reaction is controlled.
Other reasons why people get their tattoos removed
- Regret the tattoo
- Unhappy with the appearance of your tattoo
- Tattoos have blurred or faded
- The content or style of the tattoo does not compliment your current image
