How Does A Laser Remove a Tattoo?
Lasers have become the standard treatment for
tattoo removal because lasers offer a low risk, highly effective alternative to remove the tattoo with
minimal side effects.
Lasers remove tattoos by emitting short pulses of
intense light that are selectively absorbed by the
tattoo pigment. Each tattoo pigment, such as black,
blue, red, green, and others, absorbs a specific wave-
length of light. This laser light energy causes the
tattoo pigment to fragment into tiny particles which
are then removed by the body's own immune system.
Years of research have figured out which wavelengths
of laser light are the safest and most effective to
best remove unwanted tattoo ink. The laser light
selectively targets the pigment of the tattoo while
at the same time not causing damage to the
surrounding skin.
The laser used at BMC Beverly Hills removes a variety
of tattoo pigments including black, blue, red, yellow, orange and green.
