THINK BEFORE YOU INK: LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

There could be thousand reasons to get a tattoo, but I am sure you have more when you want it to remove.

A recent survey from England shows that close to 1/3 of people end up regretting their tattoos and those men are twice as likely as women to suffer such regret.

The first thing to realize about tattoos is that the ink is placed in the dermis, which is the deeper layer of the skin. The dermis is where all the connective tissue lies that makes up the structure of your skin. It is also the layer of skin that leaves a scar if damaged. Superficial damage to your skin can typically heal with little or no residual mark. However, when the deeper layers of the skin are damaged, the tissue cannot repair itself without leaving a scar.

This is an important point to consider before getting a tattoo.

Because the ink is deep in the skin, there is no cream or ointment that can get rid of a tattoo without leaving a scar. Although there is no shortage of websites claiming to remove your

unwanted tattoo by applying their special cream or ointment, I know of none that is effective. It is not possible to bleach the pigment down deep without damaging the skin at

the surface. Chemical treatments or acids that claim to get rid of tattoos could only do so by leaving a significant scar, like a third degree burn.

Lasers tattoo removal works best. It can eliminate a tattoo by targeting the pigment. Since different lasers target different ink colours, they can more effectively blast the tiny ink

fragments.. The blast and destruction of the ink triggers your immune system to come in and clean up the spots, carrying the ink with it. Because the laser targets only the color, it is

able to treat the tattoo that is deep in your skin while leaving the surface of your skin undamaged. Professional tattoos tend to use a higher quality ink in higher quantities, which makes complete tattoo removal difficult. Therefore, realize that often times a shadow of the tattoo remains even after extensive or repeated laser treatments.Newer tattoo inks have been developed that are engineered specifically to be good targets

for the laser. The laser is more easily able destroy these pigments, and the tattoo can be removed entirely, without any residual colour. You might want to ask your tattoo artist about this ink before you get your tattoo.
