C H Laser Treatments

General information

Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective way of removing that unwanted tattoo.
Tattoos are incredibly popular body art and are worn with pride by thousands. Over time, however, you may wish you could change a little piece here or there, improve upon old work or just simply remove a tattoo that you don’t want to wear anymore.
Tattoo ink particles are too large for the body’s immune system to remove naturally because when tattoo pigment is injected into the lower layers of the skin (dermis) it becomes locked away by a wall of collagen fibres. Q-switched lasers produce very short bursts of high energy laser light. The light is absorbed by the large ink particles, generating heat that shatters the tattoo pigment into minute particles which the body is then able to remove. Because the tattoo ink selectively absorbs the laser energy, the surrounding skin doesn’t overheat so there is no lasting damage.
