Get Rid of Tattoos - Laser Tattoo removal Mississauga

Over the last 15 years, the popularity of tattoos or permanent decorative body art has increased dramatically.

Many, who thought a tattoo would be something they would love forever, are now having a change of heart. Maturity, marriage, careers, and growing families are all contributing factors for this waning enthusiasm about what was once considered cool. This is not a small group as it is estimated that 50% of people who get tattoos later regret them. As such, Laser Tattoo removal Mississauga, has become one of the more popular cosmetic laser procedures available today at Mississauga.

 

Fortunately, with developments in laser technology, tattoos can now be removed permanently and effectively leaving the skin healthy and scar free.

The way laser tattoo removal works is a concentrated pulse of light from a laser beam passes through the skin above the tattoo and are absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo. The pigment is broken down into parts small enough to be removed naturally by the body's immune system.

 

Nowadays laser technology is one of the most used techniques for tattoo removal. The process works by targeting the tattoo with highly concentrated rays of colored laser light that will go into the outer layer of the skin and only the ink absorbs the light.

 

Laser equipment can permanently remove tattoo ink from many parts of the body.

Sal-Abrasion or scrubbing the skin with salt, Cryosurgery, Dermabrasion, and even excision and skin grafting were the methods available to remove tattoos before laser tattoo removal became commercially available in the early 1990's.

The lasers used in tattoo removal are not your typical green laser pointers so don't try any at home tattoo removal. The lasers used are Q switched lasers that emit very rapid pulsed high energy beams. The three types of lasers commonly used for laser tattoo removal are

a Q-switched Ruby, a Q-switched Alexandrite, and a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. The newest and most effective method at removing red, black and blue pigments is the Nf: YAG laser.

 

The easiest way to explain how Laser Tattoo removal in Mississauga works is this; when you get tattooed, the ink particles stay in the skin because it is too big for your tissue to remove. What the laser does is emit short, but powerful pulses of light that break the ink pigment into tiny particles, which are more easily removed by the body's immune system during the weeks and months following laser treatment.
