Methods used for removing tattoos.
• Dermabrasion
• Excision
• Lasers Tattoos Removal
Dermabrasion:
Where skin is "sanded" to remove the
surface and middle layers;
It involves process of removing the
tattooed area of skin and then stitching
it closed.
Excision:
Where a surgeon removes the tattoo with a
scalpel and closes the wound with
stitches. In some cases involving large
tattoos, a skin graft from another part of
the body may be necessary.
Dermabrasion & Excision both is painful
Lasers Tattoos Removal:
Lasers Tattoos removal is better choice,
as it is painless when treated by expert.
Lasers work by producing short pulses of
intense light that pass harmlessly through
the top layers of the skin to be
selectively absorbed by the tattoo
pigment. This laser energy causes the
tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller
particles that are then easily removed by
the body's immune system. The laser
selectively targets the pigment of the
tattoo without damaging the surrounding
skin.
The Q-switched Nd: YAG is now considered
the "state of the art" laser for tattoo
removal because it effectively removes
almost all colors of ink found in
tattoos.

Time and the number of laser treatments require Posted: 04-17-08 04:19am
In my above post i have pointed the method
of removing tattoos.
In this post i am sharing about
requirement of time and number of laser
treatment.
Although laser treatment is definitely a
much safer, less painful and more
successful way of removing tattoos than
other conventional means, it is a fallacy
to think that it can all be done in a
jiffy.
The amount of time and the number of laser
treatments required to remove a tattoo
depends on several factors such as:
The color of the ink: This determines how
many laser treatments you would require to
undergo. Black and blue colored tattoos
can be removed easily whereas green and
yellow pigments are harder to remove.
Tattoos made by professional tattoo
makers: These use better quality ink and
equipment, so they are harder to remove as
compared to street tattoos.
New tattoos: It is more difficult to
remove a new tattoo rather an older one as
the pigment in the new tattoo is likely to
be denser.
Size of the tattoo: The amount of time and
the number of laser treatments required
also depends upon how big or small is the
size of your tattoo
Depth of ink: How deep the ink is
injected
Location: Where the tattoo is located
Healing capability: The individual's own
ability to heal
