Tattoo Removal Methods

The term tattoo removal has been around for as long as the tattoos are. There has been significant growth in the medical/cosmetic technology owing to which there are many ways to remove tattoos. These methods broadly fall into two classes:

• Invasive: Invasive procedures are also primitive procedures. The tattoo is removed by surgery. By making a small slight incision the upper layer of the skin is removed. They are suitable for all types of ink and tattoo color.
• Non-invasive: These methods are more recent. They used various technologies like laser, freezing, etc to remove the tattoo.

La Midas Recommendations

At La Midas, tattoo removal is considered a sophisticated cosmetic procedure. A team of skilled professionals analyze all the pertinent factors and suggest a procedure that will not only remove the tattoo but also improve your skin overall characteristics.

• Laser removal technique: The laser treatment is done with the help of a Q-switched laser which releases a single powerful pulse of energy. A special Q-switched laser can be used if you have a darker skin tone. This prevents permanent change in skin pigment. The powerful energy of the laser heats and breaks the ink of the tattoo. In case you have a multicolored tattoo, multiple lasers with varying wavelengths may be used. The process may require several sessions for complete removal. This method is very popular as it is painless and remove the tattoo effectively.
• Surgical tattoo removal: Surgical removal is most suitable for small tattoos. The tattoo is scrapped away with the help of a scalpel. The skin edges are then stitched back together. It may require you to apply antibacterial ointments to assist and promote healing.
• Dermabrasion: This method requires sanding down the tattooed skin to deeper levels. The tattoo is then leached out of the skin by treating it with a high-speed rotary device with an abrasive brush at the end.
