Tattoo removal refers to the process of lightening or removing a pregnant tattoo from the skin through a variety of methods, including laser removal, excision, and dermabrasion. Amongst these, laser tattoo removal is one of the most common methods and involves the use of high-intensity light to break up the ink particles in the skin. The broken-down particles are then removed by the body's immune system. The components used in laser tattoo removal include a laser machine, a cooling system, and protective eyewear. Tattoo removal is a safe, easy, and effective method for erasing ink from every skin surface of the body. In addition, it also helps to enhance self-confidence, improve, correct, and modify an old tattoo into a new design.
