Tattoo removal in gurgaon

Tattoo removal is done using a Q switch laser. These tattoo removal lasers act on the tattoo ink by utilizing the energy of a coherent beam of light. The laser from a Q switch laser easily passes through normal skin without causing any damage. However, it is absorbed by the tattoo particles. Due to absorption of laser energy the tattoo pigment breaks down into tiny fragments. These fragments are subsequently drained away by the body’s lymphatic system.

A consultation with a dermatologist is essential prior to undergoing the procedure. There are various issues which need to be considered. Your dermatologist would be able to take a proper history and guide you regarding all aspects of the tattoo removal by laser. Things which need to be considered before laser tattoo removal are:

1. The various colours of the tattoo
2. The duration of tattoo
3. The depth of the tattoo ink beneath your skin
4. The exact site of the tattoo
5. Any medical illnesses you could be suffering from
6. Any medication you are taking
7. Presence of any scarring

The cost of tattoo removal would depend upon the area involved and the size of the tattoo.

The process causes discomfort whilst the procedure is being done. The sensation is equivalent of small rubber band snapping against your skin.

Usually multiple visits (5-6) are required for tattoo removal. The number of sessions required depend on a variety of factors such as the depth of the ink, amateur or professional tattoo, duration of tattoo etc.
