Tattoo removal is a complex process that requires specialized treatments, particularly for visible areas like the hands and neck. The gold standard method uses Q-switched laser technology, which delivers concentrated light pulses to break down tattoo pigment into smaller particles that the body can naturally eliminate.

Treatment success depends on several key factors: 

• Tattoo Age
• Ink Depth
• Colour Variety
• Skin Tone

While black and dark blue pigments respond best to laser treatment, other colours may require different laser wavelengths. Professional tattoos typically require more sessions due to their complex pigments and uniform application depth.

Complete removal usually involves 6-12 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart for proper healing. 
The procedure involves minimal discomfort, which is managed with topical numbing cream. Temporary side effects may include redness, mild swelling and occasional blistering in the treated area.
