Though getting a tattoo might seem like a good idea at first, some people regret the decision years later. If this describes you, you’ll be glad to know that you don’t have to live with your ink forever. The cosmetic procedures to remove tattoos have benefited from advanced technology in recent years, and are much safer than they used to be. Tattoo removal is accomplished via a non-invasive laser procedure. The laser targets the pigments in the tattoo in order to break them up so they can be harmlessly absorbed. The lasers do not have any effect on the skin or tissues adjacent to the tattoo. Depending on the size of your tattoo and the colors involved, you may need several cosmetic treatment sessions to fully eliminate your tattoo.
