How Tattoo Removal Works: Simple Explanation!

Understanding how tattoo removal works is easy, if it's explained the right way. Many people are actually surprised to learn that your body is mostly responsible for the disposal of ink. The most common falsehoods of how it works is that the laser cuts, or burns the ink out. Both of these are very much incorrect. What we do with the laser is of course the most important aspect, but the success of ink removal is dependent upon the health of your immune system. Without a healthy immune system, your body will have a difficult time removing the fragmented ink particles broken down by the laser. The best way to describe how tattoo removal works is that the ink is shattered into tiny pieces by the laser beam passing harmlessly through your skin. Your white blood cells will then swallow them, and remove them through your lymphatic channels, and to your liver for natural disposal. After numerous treatments, your tattoo's pigment will begin to fade more and more. As the power goes up on the laser, the deeper parts of your ink will get treated. Since it all depends on the health of your immune system, we recommend living a healthy lifestyle for best results. If you smoke, try quitting or cutting back, because your results will be hindered quite a bit. Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods. It also helps a ton if you exercise on a weekly basis.
