How Does Tattoo Removal Work?
Demystifying the process of tattoo removal makes it easier to undergo the procedure. Laser tattoo removal in Chennai is done with the latest equipment and by experienced professionals. The treatment starts with the initial appointment to assess the steps required to remove the tattoo effectively. Once the course of action has been charted and an appointment has been made, the actual tattoo removal starts.
The tattoo is removed by focusing the laser on the tattooed area. The intensity and wavelength of the laser are decided depending on the ink color. In terms of being the easiest to remove, darker colors like black rank first. These colors absorb all wavelengths of light, whereas whites retract light. Other colors like reds, blues, and greens can take longer than black, but not as much as white.

Since tattoos and individuals vary greatly, the outcome is always slightly different. Here are a few factors that affect tattoo removal:
- Ink color and amount. As mentioned previously, darker inks are easier to eliminate than white-based inks. With black being the easiest, followed by warmer tones like reds, the minerals in the ink make a tremendous difference. If the tattoo consists of faint lines alone, it is easier to remove than dense tattoos with lots of ink.
- Skin tone. The various skin tones also change how effective tattoo removal is. Depending on how light or dark the skin is, paler skin shows results in less number of sessions. Darker skin tones also have a risk of scarring during tattoo removal.
-
- Tattoos revised. If there are more tattoos under the one you are trying to remove, it is evident that more treatment sessions are required to target it all.
- Location. Tattoos in some regions of the body fade more quickly than the rest. The closer it is to the heart or the higher the circulation, the more easily it fades.
- Age. Older tattoos are already subjected to degradation by the body’s natural processes. This way, they fade more quickly under the laser than tattoos that are only weeks old.
- Placement of ink: Certain professionals place their tattoo ink deeper into the dermis than others who place it on layers closer to the surface. Whether the tattoo is done by a professional or amateur, using a tattoo gun or stick-and-poke tattoos makes a difference.

Tattoo Removal: Dos and Don’ts
Do’s
- Before getting your tattoo lasered, discussing your existing medical conditions with the therapist is essential. Certain skin conditions, autoimmune conditions, and so on affect the body’s ability to heal, and you should consult your medical practitioner regarding this.
- Do not hide information about the medications you are under. Doing so only increases the complications with laser tattoo removal.
- Do apply sunscreen generously. The laser used targets the dark pigments during laser removal and focuses on their removal. If you are tanned, it interferes with the process and runs a high risk of complication.
- Do update your consultant about any changes in medication or medical conditions.
- Tell your therapist if you were allergic to the tattoo while you were getting it. The ink color plays a role in this because the colors are due to the presence of various minerals. Especially in the case of red ink, severe allergic reactions are recorded while getting the tattoo and removing it due to the presence of mercury in the ink.
- Do inform the experts if you are or think you might be pregnant.
- Do tell us if your tattoo has layers, i.e., there are cover-ups involved. Serious complications arise from removal methods that do not work with the tattoo ink under the new layer.
Don’ts
- Don’t get tanned — natural or sprayed.
- Don’t use antibiotics or medications like Accutane.
- Don’t use any skincare products on the day of treatment.
- Don’t estimate the number of sessions required for the desired results because it constantly changes.
- Don’t hold back information from the therapist.
