What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-surgical procedure that uses focused light beams to break down the ink particles in tattoos. The body's immune system then gradually eliminates these shattered particles, resulting in a significant fading or complete removal of the tattoo. This method is recognized for its effectiveness and minimal scarring compared to traditional removal methods.
