Laser Tattoo Removal in Islamabad

What is Tattoo Removal?

It is a medical aesthetic procedure for permanently removing unwanted body ink using the latest laser tattoo removal technology. It works by breaking the tattoo up into small fragments. Once the ink pigments are broken down into smaller particles the body’s natural immune system will gradually remove them with time via natural metabolic processes.

This advanced technology is clinically safe and effective for semi permanent and permanent tattoo removal in most patients. Glamorous Aesthetic Clinic Islamabad uses professionals who work with medical Q-switched laser or picosecond laser worldwide as the definitive standard for the safe and effective removal of tattoos.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Laser tattoo removal works because the laser emits a certain wavelength of light, which the tattoo pigment will absorb while the surrounding tissue remains undamaged. The energy created by the laser penetrates the skin with no damage to the surrounding tissue, breaks down the ink into tiny fragments and allows your immune system cells (macrophages) to slowly remove the ink from your body.

Different ink colours absorb different wavelengths, black ink is actually the best responding colour as it absorbs all the wavelengths, however other colours such as green, blue and red respond to specific tattoo removal lasers so may take more sessions and a bit of time.
