Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal
Our Q-switched laser tattoo removal treatment uses ultra-short, high-intensity pulses to break down ink particles deep within the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. This advanced technology gradually fades unwanted tattoos over a series of sessions, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the fragmented ink. Safe for most skin types, our treatment offers an effective, minimally invasive solution for tattoo removal with minimal downtime.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
The Q-Switched laser delivers short, high-intensity pulses of energy that target the tattoo pigment without damaging the surrounding skin. The laser energy breaks the ink particles into tiny fragments, which are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural immune response over the following weeks.
Role of the Fractional HP Handpiece
While the main laser targets the ink, the Fractional HP Handpiece supports the process by stimulating skin regeneration and boosting collagen production. This promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and helps improve skin texture between sessions—especially beneficial for larger or older tattoos where skin may become more fragile.
