Tattoo Removal Methods
Laser tattoo removal
A Q-switched laser devicein Excellage Clinic is used – with one strong pulse, and while it may need to put a local anesthetic on the area that will be hit by the laser before the procedure, a special type of device is also used to avoid a change in skin color and skin pigmentation.
The laser strikes are fired directly at the skin, where it breaks up the tattoo if it is of one color. As for multi-colored tattoos, they may need different wavelengths. This procedure may result in redness or swelling, but anti-inflammatory creams may help speed up healing.
Surgical Excision
Skin Abrasion
They anesthetize the skin using cooling, after which the skin is abraded using a high-speed rotating device that contains a wheel and an abrasive brush. There is no doubt that this procedure may be annoying for the following days, except that it recovers within two to three weeks, but it is considered less effective than laser.
FAQ

Previously, it was difficult to get rid of light-colored tattoos, but after the development of lasers and the techniques used in Excellage Clinic, it became easier to obtain different wavelengths of lasers that get rid of different colors of ink at different depths.
