Laser tattoo removal is a treatment in which laser light is directed at the skin where the tattoo is located to remove the ink. This procedure is generally safe, but it may require multiple sessions to fully remove a tattoo. The laser light breaks down the ink particles in the skin, which are then absorbed by the body and eliminated over time.
To minimize pain, individuals undergoing the procedure are often given anesthesia. Healing usually takes a few days, and some antibiotic ointments may be prescribed after the treatment. Although the process can be a little painful, it typically takes 5 to 7 days for proper recovery.
